In reply to the discussion: Census bureau: 80% of the population live in the 3% of the land that is urban. [View all]SWBTATTReg
(22,114 posts)land, currently buys 100% of the produce and goods produced by farmers, ranchers, etc. today in the US (w/ rump's stupid tariffs, produce and such isn't being sold overseas to former clients).
Maybe they'll start treating those of us in urban areas more better instead of knocking us or decrying the crime, decay, etc. and all of the other made up stuff I hear. I constantly hear of how evil the cities are, how high the crime is, etc., etc., etc. Ridiculous.
We urbanites are only living in urban areas because our jobs are here, our families are here, and we want to make a decent living, much like farmers and ranchers living in rural areas, trying too, to make a decent living).
Also, I wonder why isn't the 3% land area/80% of US Citizens making up 80% of all legislative bodies in the US? I'm willing to bet that this has been so warped, so skewed by crooked politicians (republicans of course) that fair and equal representation is out of the question. This seriously would be a good case to take to the US Supreme Court, to address the serious issue of gerrymandering and the concept of 1 person, 1 vote being equal no matter where you are in the US. Unfortunately with this stat, it isn't 1 person, 1 vote, it's literally 1 republican, 5 votes, 1 democrat, .5 vote.
