New York Times economics columnist Paul Krugman went on a tone-deaf rant against rural Americans who are fed up with Washington, D.C. elites making their lives miserable.
Krugman’s Jan. 26 drivel, headlined “Can Anything Be Done to Assuage Rural Rage,” bemoaned that rural Americans have shifted so far to the right that loyal Democrats supposedly “face intimidation and are afraid to reveal their party affiliation.” Krugman exploited the findings of political scientist Katherine J. Cramer that reportedly tied “rural resentment” to “perceptions that rural areas are ignored by policymakers, don’t get their fair share of resources and are disrespected by ‘city folks.’” Krugman squawked that “all three perceptions [by rural Americans] are largely wrong. I’m sure that my saying this will generate a tidal wave of hate mail, and lecturing rural Americans about policy reality isn’t going to move their votes.” Krugman, whose net worth is $5 million, clearly has an acute aversion to not sounding pompous when he’s “lecturing” rural plebeians.

Yo, paulee——🖕
He finds the peasants revolting.
I'm a city boy myself, but even I know better than that.
Let me give the Readers’ Digest version: “shut the F’ up, serf’s, and feed your masters!”
This hypothetical person referred to as the reasonable/prudent man exercises average care, skill, and judgment in conduct that society requires of its members for the protection of their own and of others' interests.
“perceptions that rural areas are ignored by policymakers”
That’s because they are.

Lake Superior is very deep and very cold.
The deserts are very hot and very vast.

elitism in the context of human worth/interest is utterly abhorrent. I suppose that’s what makes a Rat a rat

In general, urban water supply, electricity supply, and food supply are entirely dependent upon the good graces of people who do not live in the city.
Another POS who should get the same treatment as his overlords.
Is the Bronx where the rich elite hang out? do the rural poor use more food stamps than the urban poor?
That fraud can’t open his mouth without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge.
I dare say the rural poor are far more self-sufficient than the urban poor.
Krugman is complaining that rural residents don’t pay as much in taxes as urban residents ( if this is true I don’t know). however there are certain other groups that also don’t pay as much in taxes, on average. Throwing stones in a glass house for a liberal.
The elites howl out in pain as they strike you.
