Why are the people least affected by terrorism (rural areas and the south) so much more concerned about protecting themselves from it than places like NYC? Nobody gives a shit about them...

The high and mighty attitude that is pervading this thread is precisely why Trump won and really shows you all haven't learned anything. If all of you are so much smarter than them, why haven't you figured out how to improve income inequality / raise real wages for the average American, or stimulate the economic growth required to find them all jobs?

OP that is outrageous. Why don't we just force sterilize everyone from rural America without a college degree and a Democratic voter registration. Yep I'm sure the country will be a better place. Totes

@A1 that's how everyone is acting on this thread, people need to humble themselves a bit rather than simply berating and belittling people who may have less education, less privilege, less wealth handed down, less paying jobs, or different value systems than their own. As a moderate, this thread is shameful and completely illustrative of why we're in this goddamn mess

Way to generalize an entire group of people based on what is most likely a limited understanding or knowledge of who these people are. How about we setup stops on the interstate and prevent them from coming to the east/west coasts...we can call it a travel ban...the hypocrisy of this thread is insane

No bCG1- the reason why they are unemployed because they are lazy and refuse to work hard! And that's when the immigrants come in to take their jobs! It's survival for the fittest! American should know it cause they invented it! Don't give me that excuse that they don't have jobs! If I can come to this country with nothing and be whee I am, they can too!

At BCG1, I used to care. I was actually a strong states rights moderate to liberal, still am. This is offensive though. Been trying too long to fix something unfixable. Now I'm just for splitting the country or making them irrelevant (i.e. accelerating their inevitable decline)

I think we're in this mess because moderates have been a bunch of pussies the past few decades. Always deferential, trying to please everyone. Not possible. Have to do the best you can. May be a generalization, but again nothing is perfect. Works pretty well.

The argument people are trying to make here is that people from the Midwest are inferior. You then suggest that they are inferior because they are lazy, which is leading to them not having jobs. However unemployment is actually worse on most coastal states, which would suggest there are more lazy people on the coasts suggesting that there are even more inferior people on the coasts then in the mid west which completely flips the argument you are trying to support up side down

Underprivileged and undereducated. Same as rural whites but more of them and moreso due to historical/societal issues. Rural whites have far fewer things holding them back than undocumented immigrants or poorer blacks in inner cities.

We're not one country that is fallacy. Rural and southern areas have been saying that for decades, time to listen and let them do what they want. They will inevitably destroy themselves. They've been afforded every opportunity the world has to offer and yet would be no better than Afghanistan without urban and northern areas moderating them.

BCG1: As we just passed Holocaust Remembrance Day, tell the Jews that the US being the world police is not good for them!

Also, the current Palestinian crisis was caused by the British and you better believe that without the US acting as world police there would have been multiple more Arab Israeli wars, or just the complete massacre of all Jews in Israel by the Arabs...

Reps: do you feel it’s wrong to submit Freece directors for jobs over your paying rostered clients? If the lead isn’t a fit for your rostered clients is leaving the opportunity (and potential money) on the table the “right” thing to do or are you stuck feeling a sense of loyalty to the producer seeking talent?

Hi all-
I was going to be preparing myself for an interview for a T2 firm. I have about 7 months to prepare for the interview but am overwhelmed by a lot of conflicting advice on how to prepare. I am generally not the best interviewer but am confident of being a good fit for consulting.

I wanted to ask if anyone in a similar position (not great at interviews) managed to overcome this and how. I really want to nail this and am willing to spend a lot of time and energy to put myself through.
