Very few in the media have even the slightest clue about real flyover country.
Most of them have seen it from just 5 miles away (5 miles up).
These are people who thrive in a human constructed 'reality'. I don't begrudge them that, but to look down on those who thrive in an environment with constraints imposed by nature more than man because we do not thrive in their environment (or choose to thrive in this one) is to underestimate the abilities of those who live here.
I’ve had the thought several times that the SCOTUS should meet not in DC, but somewhere more, shall we say, down to earth.
I would nominate Franklin CO, VA. but they may come to enjoy the local “spirits” too much.
Somewhere more remote, but not in a state with legal wildwood weed.
The middle of the Mojave desert?
A mountain top in very rural New Mexico?
A small kansas town with only a convenience store and grain storage facilities?
Let them learn what fly over country looks like, up close and personal.
