It’s a chicken and eggs problem, without cars the nearest place to spend money wouldn’t be 20 miles away.

I live 20 miles from the nearest place where I can spend money.
Without personal vehicles, no one in my area could survive.
We also pretty much all have diesel generators. Power outages are frequent and winters are cold enough to kill.
Your argument makes no sense.

Have you ever lived somewhere else, you can see how good life is when you have both proper electrification and good public transportation
P. S. I am not telling you to move, I am wondering does my argument make no sense to you because you don’t know anything better.

Oh, the irony. YOU need to look in a mirror and ask yourself the same question.
You’ve just decreed that everyone else is doing it wrong, yet you have no idea what it’s like anywhere else.

I have lived in major cities.
This is way better and would not trade it for anything.
Genuinely fuck your assumption. Have you ever lived rurally where the only sound you hear is your own fucking waterfalls?
Fuck off. Your opinion is shit.

Yeah I’m just blocking them at this point. I’m pretty confident they’re a teenager with this exchange, so no loss.

What would be wrong with responding to the substance of the comment as opposed to projecting your feelings on the person who wrote it? Your comment makes no sense.

I have, it is great there is also train to there and a bus to my family’s out of town house. And no power outages even tho it’s a small town.

My power never goes out, idiot. I have a generator.
I can go to see anyone whenever I want. In my schedule. Even during a state of emergency. You cannot.

If that’s not your point, I can’t figure out what it is.
See that sounds very much like classism. People live in rural areas for a variety of reasons. Rural living has one set of problems, urban living has a different set. One is not better than the other. If I got you wrong here, I apologize.
