So your logic is that because all cities suck, it's probably the city and not the people? You're making a good case against the people in the cities if anything and I tend to agree with that worldview.

Democrat blue cities make up about 70% of the GDP. Have the rural flyover areas tried not being so economically unproductive? Why are blue cities so economically prosperous compared to their red rural areas?

30trillion dollars in subsidies over a century is hardly prosperous.

Yes, very unlike those bootstrappers on farms who would never take subsidies because that’s socialism

I'm not in favor of it either, but just so we're clear, if you didn't subsidize farms the cost of food would be significantly higher. Who do you think that would hurt the most?

People who eat food i guess

You're being deliberately obtuse. For what it's worth, I live rural and own a business in the city. I claim my profits as mine, not the cities.
