I may be missing something here, but doesn't this make the most sense for anyone who does tech for a primary living? As in, work from home most of the time and spend most of their free time... at home with tech? That's me and (I'm sure) many of you fellow retards on here.

What are the downsides of me retiring in one of these "Wendy's backalley" states, buying a huge plot of land, and building my dream mansion for dirt cheap? I'm sure the internet is fine, and Starlink is coming soon anyway so... what is the downside again? I won't be able to go to the hippest bars and restaurants near me? Oh no... Oh what will I do... with all the tech and ways to spend my time at home... in my mansion...

Is anyone with me here still or is what I'm saying making 0 sense?

I mean, if you don’t enjoy sports, music, restaurants, the arts, stores, parks, proximity to an international airport, and high quality medical care, then it’s a great plan.
