Hey Tavis!
Just how many uneducated ditch-diggers do we need?
It doesn’t appear that any of those urban jungle dwellers are willing to dig ditches-or do any other work, unlike young people out here in BFE-the contractor I work for/with would never be able to find laborers/helpers if he lived and hired in the city...
The economic situation out here sucks-has since Obama took office-no more tourists in summer, no snowbirds spending the winter-and money-here because they can’t afford the gas for the RV, so everyone has to take what little work we can get-farm/ranch hand, tiny construction jobs-like moi, etc. There are no fast food joints, no chain retail-only small family owned stuff, and that is fine.
This rural area is racially/ethnically mixed-equally Latino and Anglo, with some Blacks, a few Asians and a few people of Indian/Pakistani descent.
There are no riots, looting, burning, or excuses for any of the above-we help each other any way we can out here because times are tough, but if someone won’t work, then that someone won’t eat-maybe the cities should try a little rural redneck tough love...
