Re: 2020 Democrat Challengers Part II: There Can Be Only One
Maybe. I think it still blatantly ignores the indirect value of the roads. Those roads enable billions of dollars in commerce the cities and rural communities benefit from. Well, that and all of our food originates from rural roads, so there’s that.
It’s a stupid argument. It’s a symbiotic relationship. The cities wouldn’t exist without the rural communities. The rural communities wouldn’t exist without the cities. This might not have been true 100-200 years ago but it is now.
Edit: and if it’s a “the rural communities get subsidized so shut up” counter to “the cities get all the benefits” it’s an even dumber argument to make. It’s the equivalent of “neener neener” and ignores reality. A better argument would be to convince the rural communities that we all benefit AND get to live the lifestyle we choose. That’s pretty nice.
