We rural guys will be a threat when we stop trucking food into your cities, 6itch.
Precisely. What exactly is ‘produced’ in Manhattan? Wall Street is essentially people playing with other people's money. They don't grow food in Manhattan. They do build large buildings - often to house people who make a living working in the middle between producers and consumers. Manhattan is entirely dependent upon the efforts of people outside of Manhattan. This is true for the majority of large cities.
Oh, I forgot. Large cities are also great producers of violence, homicides, single parent (if that) households, and uninformed know-it-alls like Joy Reid.
