    Spoken like someone who never got out of the city they live in.

    You realise that there’s many steps between major city centers and bum fuck nowhere, right?

    In a town of around 10k you’ll have everything you need to spend your whole life there if you want.

    People like you act so smug towards the people who bring food to your table, extract the minerals necessary for you to have access to the internet, cut the wood used to build the furniture you’ve got… Cities don’t exist without rural areas, rural areas continue sustaining themselves without cities.

      people like you act so smug to the people who make the tools or services you use. rural areas without cities are Bronze Age sustenance farming towns that die the second there is a bad harvest.

        I come from a city of over a million.

        You clearly never went to a small town to say that their tools come from major city centers. They try to do everything by themselves without relying on the big cities to the point where it can be frustrating to see them work with a local welder or machinist instead of simply buying the premade tool they actually need.

        How does a city of millions provide rural areas with food when there’s a bad harvest exactly? Name one city of 100k or more that is self sustaining in food and doesn’t do any long distance import for it.

        I’ll wait.
