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

It's all crazy and ideological on both sides. Those Americans fear/hate terrorism because it stands against their way of life... those same Americans also don't at all understand the origins of Islamic terrorism or the flaws / history of americas role in the world since WWII

@BCG1 because raising their incomes doesn't matter and is not a good way to proceed (see: comparative advantage). Stop taking your morality from Sesame Street and realize that this is survival of the fittest and has always been that way. For their one salaried factory job, we could support 5-10 families in developing countries and they are telling us that their life is worth more than 5-10 families and I'm not buying it.

@A4 hope you don't use those quant skills on your project. Maybe try looking 1-2 levels deeper into that data (could minorities play a part in coastal "sanctuary cities", perhaps?)

@A3 I don't think you get the point. Try reading some articles on comparative advantage.

At OP you're a dickhead who is telling a huge region of America to go fuck themselves. We're one country, in this together. You wanting the north to secede from the south to "accelerate their inevitable demise" is just as bad as a racist/bigot. I would get your head out of your ass, look in the mirror and see yourself as the hypocritical asshat you are being. Lot of good Americans in the south with great intentions who would never wish a "demise" on anyone else like you do, shit head.

I don't wish a demise, it's just the inevitable end to their policies. If that's what they want, let them have it.
