Victimizers posture as victims.
A relative of mine was very good at that.

The people who are allegedly unable to move to a different town. They're all victims of their circumstance. All helpless, I tell you!Everybody?
Nope, the fucking billionaires are making out like bandits
Try to not twist words or lie about them. It does not reflect well upon you or add to your credibility.The people who are allegedly unable to move to a different town. They're all victims of their circumstance. All helpless, I tell you!
Nobody is saying they have to sell and move to one of the most expensive spots in the state. If having specific services is important to you, then move to a city that is more than 1200 people, but not extremely expensive.Try to not twist words or lie about them.

I live in Idaho. In Boise, the largest city. I can tell you for a fact that a person born and raised in Kooskia cannot sell their place there and get ANYTHING equivalent here.
Again, nothing is preventing people from moving to a slightly larger city that is much more likely to support imported services. I promise there are many, many, many, many, many towns that are larger than Curtis but significantly smaller than Boise.The wages in Wilder, where the latest ICE raid was, is a fraction of that in the city. So, argue all you want, it doesn’t change the fucking facts.
Here’s another fact that goes right along with those scenarios. One’s likelihood of success in this country is directly correlated to the zip code in which they were born. So, yeah, dumbfuck, random chance is a huge part of how you’re going to do in life. Trump is a perfect example. Without daddy, that loser is selling knockoff watches on the street corner.
This is going way over your head. What I’m trying to tell you, pally boy, that just up moving is not an option for a lot of people. If you’re lucky enough to own property in Smalltown, ID, even finding a buyer can be difficult. Then, there’s the matter of securing employment.Nobody is saying they have to sell and move to one of the most expensive spots in the state.

It's not.This is going way over your head.
You say that, but have provided no evidence for it.What I’m trying to tell you, pally boy, that just up moving is not an option for a lot of people.
Right, so the same things that people go through every day. Got it.If you’re lucky enough to own property in Smalltown, ID, even finding a buyer can be difficult. Then, there’s the matter of securing employment.
I never said it's easy. I said it can be done, which it can. And if someone decides not to move; ok. They, in this case, can drive the 30-ish minutes when they need to go to the hospital.You make it sound as easy as packing your bags and tossing them in your car. It’s not.
He completely misses the point. Living in the rural West is not like living in the outskirts of Atlanta.Zen Mode does not understand the ins and outs of living in the West, which includes sussing out the best was to secure good health care.
I never said it was. I said you should expect life to be different if you decide to live in small, rural towns.He completely misses the point. Living in the rural West is not like living in the outskirts of Atlanta.
If a person makes the choice to live in a small town, they need to accept the limitations that accrue.
If you move to an area that has no medical facilities nearby, that was your choice.
If you were born there and can’t afford to move, join the military.
Low wages and lack of medical facilities are just facts of life in many rural areas. There aren’t many opera houses or museums in small towns either.
Get over it.
You missed the mark again.I never said it was. I said you should expect life to be different if you decide to live in small, rural towns.
