With younger labor in short supply, aging workers often find themselves pulling double—or triple—duty to keep towns afloat

    Sounds like a classist remark from some ignorant city dweller that cheats rural workers out of fruits of their labor.

        Where else can I get boozed up and skrrt 65mph down the state highway in my uninsured, uncatted shitbox and throw beer cans at the cyclists (poor people) on the shoulder?

      Sounds like a myopic remark from some ignorant country bumpkin who is at best an apologist for (and at worst a supporter of) “small gub’mint” stripping civil rights, making it harder to vote, legislating women’s bodies, harassing BIPOC, and trying to eliminate trans people. 🖕

        I’m not sure how to address you, but your comment is willfully ignorant. Fuck trump, fuck the Republican party, fuck the Democratic party.

        All people deserve a place to call home where they can live peacefully and can enjoy the fruit of their labor. Policies for the cities don’t always work in rural settings, not everyone lives in New York or LA. As evident by this comment section, city folk look down on country folk and have for millennia. Just because I’m rural does not make me have southern values left over because some racist assholes lost their rebellion.

        Go live in your city, or your small town or I’m the woods. Don’t look down on others who are different or want to live in a different place.
