  • They say neither Pennsylvania nor the nation can afford to lose small towns and the institutions that power them.

    Lol, why?

    Not only are they a touchstone of American life,

    Very often a hard and poverty stricken life.

    but they are also key to driving certain sectors of the economy, like agriculture.

    What’s stopping farms from being built next to suburbs or even within cities with the tech we have now.

    These boomers are why over romanticizing how “good” small town life was. What they’re really sad about is disproportionate political power our anti democratic electoral college gave them and the unchecked tin pot dictatorships they often held over small towns. Being able to get away with literal murder sometimes because they personally knew the cops and judges.

    They couldn’t care less about the poor quality of life that most citizens of these small towns had. If they did they would have made the necessary investments to attract people (like a handful of small towns have).
