I don't want to argue. Fact is most people who stay in your town end up part of the struggling blue collar.I want to ask you small town conservatives. Where do your kids go after they graduate college? Chances are they can't find work in your town am I correct?Our little town is much like the politics congress and many areas throughout the country today we have one grocery store here in this town. Every time I shop there I get more agitated as I walk through the isles. The grocery store is phasing out most other brands for quite a few years now and replacing everything they can with store brand items. More recently though they are putting almost all items on shelves with their brand name. The cereal isle is the worse and today was even worse than usual as what few name brands are left in the store were placed on the top shelf hard to reach places. In the past I bought items that were labeled with the store name. The quality of their store brand items I bought were awful so I don't get anymore items with their name on them. Instead I buy only what I can't do without until I can drive to a town with stores with more choices.
Politics are the same way today the choices are being limited to a very few brand name items that are being pushed at the public at an alarming rate. People are being led by a few who want all the political leaders to have their brand on them even if the quality of their leadership is inferior it will be the only choice left after a season or two.
It depends
some stay
some work in the area
some move away
out here many of us travel to work
in my small town
we have a electric company
a cabinet making shop
a hospital with several other units
large vet service
a cable company
two electrical shops
several mechanical shops
just to name a few
all of which hire folks
How much do those people make? Not much.
they make all sorts of wages and benefits too
your prejudice is showing again
