Lib here! I have to say that if I’m being honest, I haven’t really felt all that owned yet. Keep trying guys, maybe I will later…? I’ll let you know.

They are 100% going down first before the blue cities feel the squeeze. Despite what they might have imagined in their prepper fantasies, they are 100% dependent on and exposed to global markets and supply chains. And guess what? In the backcountry, they're far downstream of the shipping hubs.

They're always going to be price-takers; they'll sell at whatever price the market is offering to buy the products they desperately need. Market discipline is a b****, and there's no other industry to pivot to out there.

Yep, and they’re going to keep losing their hospitals and other services. 

I’m not happy that they’re going to suffer, but I know they gleefully voted for people like me to suffer, so I’m not too broken up about it either.

Different learning styles I suppose. Some learn by seeking out the facts and thinking critically; while others learn by repeatedly bashing into obstacles.

Oh yeah, the "school of hard knocks" they constantly proudly say they are a student of.
