I wouldn't think so cuz his lousy genes would still be polluting the pool.

I just replied to a local friend who sent me an old video made by Bill Mahr from 2012 (not a lot has changed). Again I look for underlying reasons and yours are right on. A vicious cycle is formed when these people become religious and the private schools are the main source of education.

@JackPedigo Oh GOD DAMN stupid people!! and you say that is from 2012?!?!? That right there is ALL the reason I need to realize there is no god!!
If there was a god? He would not make anything THAT stupid. Watching that makes me want to grab my head and run in circles yelling FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!!

@silverotter11 Sorry, I was afraid it would be upsetting. Perhaps I should have given a warning.

Here are the states, listed by hospital beds per 1000 people. I see that Mississippi has 4.0 per thousand while Krugman’s New York only has 2.7.

Best not to stereotype.

@WilliamFleming I guess I was going by the occasional reporting I see about the south having more people on Medicaid and social services and limited access to medical care in some of the rural areas. Seems like Ive read all those things recently before this started. Probably shoulda checked my sources though.

The blue states are most likely only affected worse so far, because they have more transport ( international ) links and more population, it will just take longer to peak in the south. Thats just silly of him.

@LimitedLight I guess someone living in NYC might look at me and my neighbors with compassion and sadness and with a condescending and elitist attitude, conclude that we are living in a food desert. I normally drive twenty miles to get groceries at Walmart, and that is nothing unusual across the country. We know how to cope.

I look with compassion and sadness at the poor souls living in large cities, especially New York, packed closely together, subject to disease, racism, crime, noise, pollution, high cost of living and exorbitant taxes. No wonder those folks are moving away in droves—and where are they going? Mostly to the South.

I had never heard of Becler either, but then I’ve never before needed to read hospital reviews.

@LimitedLight New York is a beautiful state, and I’m sure that New York City has its charm for those adapted to city life.

I personally prefer living in the country.

@LimitedLight What is the point? Are you saying that you lived in a food desert?

If you live in a rural area, chances are that there’s no stores close by. It’s not a problem from my perspective, but of course you do have to have a vehicle.

I just planted my spring garden, and we are still having greens from the winter garden. It is helping tremendously, what with lockdown. I’m eating a lot of cornbread made with last years Indian corn, and also I have a bag of feed wheat.

I’m feeling downright snug and happy and see no reason for despair and backbiting of the type being spread by Krugman.
