Well, moving to city is awful appealing; the smell of urine in the morning, people crapping on the sidewalks, park lawns bristling with used hypodermic needles. And where else can you observe cultural rituals like junkies shooting up, fights, homicides, rape, stabbings and people eating out of garbage cans. Oh, I know it wouldn’t be perfect, but it’s as near utopia as elected Democrats can make it, and they’re not done yet!
“Some people are contemplating moving closer to a city, moving to the suburbs, or moving to a small community 45 minutes from a city. So yeah, it will probably, if it continues, accelerate rural depopulation in parts of the Midwest and Great Plains.”
All according to the PLAN.🙄
This is exactly what $5/gal gas is intended to do.
"Most rural homes have to buy tanks of liquefied petroleum or liquefied propane, or they have to get fuel oil," Peters said. "And those have really risen in costs as well; that's, I think, something like $1,000 more."
So, if I move to town, my heat will be free!!!
Neither do electric power, fuel, and water.
I’m in favor of keeping the RATS in their cities, building walls to keep them there and if that fails funnel them into kill zones and ambushes when the try to escape. The country life if just fine without the LIBS screwing it up.
They’re starting to grow a lot of veggies in indoor vertical farms in and around cities. Lab cultured meat will be grown in and around the cities. Bugs can be raised in buildings anywhere. Cultured meat is a ways off but it’s coming. The vertically farmed veggies are from gene-edited plants and patented. Cultured meat will be patented.
They’re starting to hit cattle farmers in the Netherlands and other countries are doing or about to do the same. Canada just announced the same 30% reduction in nitrogen. They already say cow farts are methane, a greenhouse gas and now say cow burps are a greenhouse gas.
All the new food will be patented and grown with high tech systems. It’s a globalist techie(technocracy) takeover of food. They’re even using CRISPR Cas9 on livestock so they can patent them too and Big AG will jump right on board with the new improved livestock just like they did with GMO RoundUp ready corn, with little a nudging from Monsanto suing farmers out of business. They have to hurry before everyone figures out that there are more roundup resistant weeds developing every year and it will eventually fail.
I’m betting all this new high tech patented food will eventually fail and we’ll have mass starvation because of the technocrats playing God. Hopefully enough farmers will hang on to the old ways and natural plants and livestock to save what’s left of humanity.
Sure, I want to give up the good life here on a few acres to move to the crowded dirty crime ridden sewer of a city where things cost a lot more.
Maybe next week after my lobotomy.
in most cases, moving to cities is exactly the wrong thing to do
living in cities makes you more dependent and places you in so many situations where you HAVE to pay high prices (highly inflated, even more so on many items and services than in rural areas)
it is just in the nature of crowded life where you lack the room or ability to do some things for yourself
I live in a suburb north of Indianapolis, and I can tell you the costs in and around the city have remained steadily high compared to the rural parts of Indiana. So I don’t know what they’re talking about.
And for what it’s worth I do plan to settle in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains or Black Hills, and once I’m there nothing will make me leave, not even the apocalypse.
Yeah, went to Nashville recently. Can’t get over the homeless population there — as well as the marijuana being smoked out on the sidewalks.
What the sam hell is going on there? It was so nice even 5-7 years ago.
Wishful thinking 101.
“”Some people are contemplating moving closer to a city, moving to the suburbs, or moving to a small community 45 minutes from a city. So yeah, it will probably, if it continues, accelerate rural depopulation in parts of the Midwest and Great Plains.”
All by design, move the population to the cities or suburbs to make it easier to control the people, similar to what previous Marxist takeovers have done. They are easily converted to camps.
I don’t want to give the impression that I think these people are stupid, by the way. They aren’t.
They are often very intelligent. But as many folks have said on this very forum, intelligence and wisdom are not the same thing.
Especially when that intelligence is harnessing evil, as I believe those on the Left often do.
In my part of the state, it appears inflation is driving people from the cities to our rural area.
Also, Cows and Horses are more careful with used syringes.
“I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy!”... Anon
In rural areas I can buy meat, veggies and dairy straight from the source. Or better yet barter for it. In the cities you are stuck with what’s on the shelf and pay with your inflated dollars.

Yep. And I have never HAD to drive more than 8 miles to a grocery store in 50 years of living rural. Walmart is 25 miles, but I don’t shop there much. My regional grocery chain buys a lot locally and keeps the prices as low as is possible. Local gasoline is $4.04 for regular. Our car gets 30+ miles/gallon.
I also have an ebike, 7 miles presently to the store on side roads that are well-maintained, as is the highway, in 20 minutes.
For everything else, there is still delivery.
We have a conservative County Board. They consolidated to save costs 2 years ago and lowered the mil rate. No crime outside of some DUIs and a few kids breaking into summer homes that got caught and prosecuted. Sheriff seems based, so far. People open carry in the nearest towns. The county turned down the Madison wokesters when they proposed a youth summer retreat and requested grants (of course).
My propane cost $2/gallon for a summer fill and will last thru January. I have alternative methods of heat, cooking, and electric. I have storage food.
Actually, my immediate neighbors to the East may well decide to move up permanently once the husband retires in a couple years....or sooner. They are conservative and informed, so they are weighing options. They say it’s getting worse in the cities.
I have managed well for over 50 years out of the cities and from age 4-age 11 in my youth. Cities literally stink and my neighbor’s goats are not even detectable. When the row crops at the end of the road were fertilized with manure a year ago, the trucks were annoying for a few days, but there was no increased odor.
It’s quiet and peaceful and we lack for nothing.
Pretty frightening. And frankly disgusting.
