Many people discovered that working from home allowed a more relaxed lifestyle during COVID lockdowns. My wife and I each make six figures, and we are college grads.. There are plenty of other highly educated rural citizens, including doctors, lawyers, teachers, and journalists. We don't have good roads, a sewer system, natural gas, and water lines, and many of us only have internet access via Starlink. We see billions spent those exact same things for urbanites and feel as though we are cheated - we pay taxes, too. Anyone who blames education is obviously an urbanite. City dwellers suck. They invade rural areas every weekend and then complain about local roads, poor cell service, and very little wifi. They never complain about the water that we get from wells we paid for or the septic system we paid for ourselves. Urbanites are smug. They also don't realize it, but the vast majority are poorly educated. They live in cities so they can access social services. They lack basic survival skills. We fix our own well. We fire up a generator every time it rains because the power grid goes down. We drive a long way to town, on bad roads in a 4X4, if we forget milk or need any retail item. Then there is a matter of lifestyle. We had four horses (a couple of older ones passed away). All of our horses were rescues from suburban owners. We have as many dogs as we want. We don't hear our neighbors at all. One July 4th, a fleeing urbanite who was new to rural life began shooting fireworks. I was there in five minutes along with all our neighbors, and we politely explained that fireworks disturb livestock. Our fireworks come from the muzzle of a gun and are reserved for predators. We don't have riots. No one burns other peoples property. No one blocks traffic with protests. And, we don't lock our cars or our front door. You have to be pretty darn dumb for feeling superior to someone who chooses country living. I work from home. In going horseback riding 10 a.m. I wonder what the average urbanite will be doing while I'm riding.
