my suggestion about your take on small towns is that you never understood the economy of it even while you lived there-- your perception of the world is hardly accurate as well-- and if you think most of middle america isnt mostly owned by corporations you are dead wrong-- farms, stores, and even contracting-- mostly funded by big money

the small town america you are familiar with is in your mind i cant buy a ticket to there and even if i could i wouldnt

Matt, if you ever travel, and see the small town america i am familiar with, you know, the stuff OUTSIDE of NY state, MAYBE i will take you seriously, til then, look right down your nose at me, whatevs.

further, youre of questionable intelligence if you think in the last three years, every small town in america has suddenly changed(which is what you used to negate my extensive small town america experience). it hasnt, and even if it has, it undercuts your whole argument about them not being able to readily adapt/change. youve painted yourself into a logic corner.
