About those coastal/urban elites..

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

8. When I was living in a rural area the people there knew that urban areas have different needs

When you are in rural areas the "city" is so far removed that the people really don't expect them to be just like the "country" folks. Rural people are more laid back and they won't say much for awhile, but when they've had enough they won't warn you...they'll just be done. I think that's what led to Trump winning those areas.

I think the best thing to help rural areas right now is get high speed internet everywhere and maybe even provide a subsidy for those with low income and a computer recycling program for those same families. There are so many jobs that can be done online now, and training is provided. Those jobs could help replace some of the manufacturing jobs.
