Rural america is in a vicious cycle that only benefits Republicans

The faster these Americans are connected to metropolitan areas either through telecommunications or infrastructure, the better this country will be.

But as it is, she's spitting facts. Corrupt politicians thrive on selling CACs dreams about being a super race while they send money to israel instead of fixing America

I need to go to the countries you travel to then, cause one thing I've noticed about being in other countries is how quickly the first world disappears once you leave downtown.
How is that any different than America? Some cities here the downtown is fukked up.

I've worked around and with enough of these folks all over this country the last 15 years to know, racism definitely exists, but it's a byproduct of classism forced from the power structure in these areas. It's a satire watching some of these communities. Not saying these folks all of these people are great folks that should be infinitely championed, but a lot of their worldview is because they've been lied to.

Anywhere there's no capital of commerce is going g to be fukked up, but those fukked up places you're talking about at least have running water and electricity.
What a low bar. What do you think other countries don't have that?
The Hong Kong subway infrastructure looks like an airport compared to NYC subway which looks the same it did 40 years ago.

NYC doesn't even have subway stop at LaGuardia, I'm not hyping up American infrastructure, I'm saying it's hyperbole to compare it to the rest of the world.

I can't give them any empathy because as any non brain damaged person does, you are supposed to learn as you go.......you can't make me believe they are still gullible going for the same lies time and time again.......there is something greater in it for them than even their own prosperity and we'll being and 100 percent it's to try and hinder and cause hardship for others

What I would say is in these areas that you’re referring to, although the infrastructure is not there, the decorum of the people is far better than in America. If you gave the same exact conditions to Americans, it would be far more dangerous. America has half of the worlds prison population despite being a “first world country” for a reason.

I’m in an area of Colombia right now with the most basic infrastructure (and it’s FAR safer than the areas I grew up in Washington DC area. I’m talking kids playing outside until 2am safe. With no police presence. They may not have the infrastructure but they have actual communities.

The good life 😎
She's correct, especially about the roads. The roads will be shyt on the side of mountains. One of my last memories before leaving the US was driving on the side of a mountain, realizing that it wasn't even paved, and hoping the gathering clouds don't drop a downpour on me since that would spell disaster.

I must say though, why are there two people watching this lady talk? Or is it the white guy watching the black guy watching this lady talk? It would have been better with just the lady talking. :jbhmm:
