  • First reports are not always trustworthy. That said, we know conditions for the Russians are terrible so desertion isn't unlikely.

  • That battle was lost decades ago. We must focus on repair.

  • Religion is built on a collective hatred towards everyone not in the collective. The fear of being cast out of that collective generates the toxicity you are referring to.

  • Bidenomics hasn't made it down to rural areas yet where transportation costs are much higher. Urban areas are really doing well though, inflation is largely gone now. Wages are higher across the board, though college graduates are seeing a higher rate of return compared to low skilled workers in subpar industries.

    Bottomline, Blue America is doing good, Red America is struggling.

  • What I have seen is that the issue is now at the local economy level. In the urban areas costs have returned to pre-2020 prices. In rural areas the prices are still extremely high. Gas in a urban area is around $2.30 while in rural areas it's $3.15. Milk prices are about a 0.75 a gallon difference as well. Life sucks if you live in the middle of nowhere, but it's not bad if you live close to a urban area. The price difference appears to be due to transportation costs. It just isn't worth the logistics to support rural communities anymore for most companies.
