NYTimes editorial about the growing 'Urban-rural "apartheid" '

[70sEraVet]

14. Not really news.

The kids leave the family farm to go to college, then get a job in an urban area (no jobs back home). Some come back after they retire, to care for their aging parents. But most never come back.
I suppose one of the main new factors, is that there are fewer family farms to come back to.
Hardly surprising that there is also a political aspect involved. When you see a small, rural Southern town, look at the cemeteries - whites buried in this cemetery, blacks buried in that cemetery. They can't even stand to have their dead folk buried with black dead folk!
How are you going to get them to vote Democrat? Would you even WANT them to be Democrats?
