But for some reason, people who live in the "middle of nowhere" (as you put it) have a strange obsession with California. When I travel to other states, I'm amazed at how much the media and the locals talk about how California is about to collapse. Not to get political, but I think this is pushed by conservative media sources. Meanwhile, the state economy and population just keep on growing.TW-Upstate NY wrote: ↑April 11th, 2022, 10:49 am Just to show what kind of a mindset this brings on when I saw the headline on the news feed about this Saturday evening I wondered if the fire could've been the result of a retail theft incident. I didn't even need details; I just knew. Those of you who live in these areas-how do you do it? It seems this stuff is just a way of life there and people just shrug their shoulders and go on with their day. It's become a quality of life issue that will make these areas unlivable which eventually bring down sky high property values because there will be no takers. Makes me appreciate my three acres in the middle of nowhere even more.
Exactly and thank you!!!!
Fires can be blazing out of control in another State but if there is a brush fire in California it is front page news and of course the fire happens because of free roaming thugs and/or incompetent and corrupt governance. And the coverage is relentless.
This goes for every topic under sun!
It is exhausting. My family and friends think I am living in an Armageddon.
