The people who live outside the city are able to find employment too. It’s a myth that jobs are only in the cities. Especially so if you work in tech and can do remote work.
That’s what brings these cost of living averages down - the people not living in big cities whose expenses are less.
I’ve wondered for awhile what it would look like if they managed to succeed in a religion-based takeover of the USA. I figure the dominant force in the world’s varieties of Christianity being Catholicism would have some influence (and since the Pope has more money than God) so it’s entirely possible that the “one true religion” ruling the country would end up being Catholicism and there would be a lot of really disappointed Protestant fascists.
EDIT: also I was thinking that’s the more likely result as the majority of SC justices are Catholic currently
Well it doesn’t matter what lame opinions you have, because this case is going to get dunked right down the shitter so hard by the Supreme Court, that it will come out the other side in Australia.
But the fact remains that “assault weapons” are commonly purchased and used for self defense in America. You can argue about the merits of that all you want, but it is a fact that it is common in our current reality, and the judge was wrong. Personally I don’t own an AR, because they are impractical for everything I use a gun for.
That’s some dogshit logic to pretend to reverse the reality of the current status quo - Which is that rifles of all types, including “assault weapons” are only used in 3% of homicides in the USA. They are far more commonly bought and used for self-defense than they are in crimes and mass shootings. Most criminals prefer more affordable firearms than rifles, and as such handguns are the type of firearm most commonly used in crimes AND mass shootings.
I can back up what you’re saying with what I’ve seen. Had to hire a few people over the last couple years and remote work is a big selling point in the competition for talent.
