Of course, I've been reading all the threads of shortage this, difficult that, and the one common theme with 99% of them;
All in urban/suburban areas.
Believe me, those of us elsewhere do not like to see our buddies suffer. It's a real thing and we honestly can relate.
But here's the thing. Not everyone is having the same problems. I know the TV likes to tell you that sooner or later, everywhere will be New York and certain doom will befall even those in the most remote areas.
Well I live in one of those remote areas, and guess what? Don't believe it. We got hit sure, but the body bags and empty shelves never materialized.
Your problem with shortages is because of the dense population of where you live, and all of you going to the store at the same time and buying everything. While we have people that will make a run on the store in a panic, we don't have the density and the stores are largely able to deal with it.
Your community's unemployment woes are largely attributable to the plethora of completely optional businesses that are totally unnecessary as far as maintaining life. We may not be able to go to pinball palace or one of fifty movie theaters or sports bars during good times, but we don't have the problem of them weighting down the community during bad times either.
While you have 3 service providers vying for the customers business, we have 3 customers vying for the service providers business. We're still working.
Bodies are dropping like flies where you are because you-all live in a can. We don't even live in a cage. We simply are not elbow to elbow..ever. While that becomes normal for dwellers, we cringe at the idea even during regular times.
I've walked in your moccasins. I lived in the LA area for eleven years. I got to experience what you already know.
All I'm asking, is please do not project your solutions on us that don't have your problem. Close down what you want, wear hazmat suits, clorox the yard, buy every last pack of bacon, whatever. But we take great offense from those that insist for the solution to be effective, those that aren't part of the problem need to be restricted also, as seen fit from afar.
And 2..kill your TV. It lies.
I'll finish by adding this. I invite all 4000 of our members and their families to come to the mountains. We can and will happily absorb you. The air is clean and you can still see us smile. We're going shooting on Sunday after Church.
But the Gladys Kravitz and the Karen neighbors you-all got...they can stay the hell where they are.
