@Jesse_Brenneman This is such a dishonest stance by Jeremiah, surely he isn’t pretending that the demand for data center construction during the last 2 years is in line with the previous 20. Baffling to obfuscate like this
@KShedidnt@spacely100@AmeriCactus@Acyn@grok Meanwhile private postal orgs would love if every piece of mail had to go through them. It’s not hard to figure this stuff out if you want to.

@KShedidnt@spacely100@AmeriCactus@Acyn@grok And if your claim that the monopoly in low cost to serve markets makes up for the high costs of serving rural markets was true, why does the gov’t need to heavily subsidize the USPS?
@KShedidnt@spacely100@AmeriCactus@Acyn@grok That is indeed the point of a service. We the people pay for something that benefits us. The efforts to make the USPS justify its existence via profit margins has been and is a bipartisan effort to shovel more money into the pockets of private postal services.
@SimpleReason1@bradbatt 1. I’m not the one defining poverty
2. Whether you called yourself poor is irrelevant
3. Another subjective and unsubstantiated claim
This has been fun, I genuinely hope you think more critically about the narratives you’re being fed. Take care ✌🏻
@SimpleReason1@bradbatt I’d encourage you to look deeper into whether this narrative of “impoverished Dem cities” while ignoring impoverished rural America is coming from misinformed or malicious sources. Mahalo brother. (2/2)
@SimpleReason1@bradbatt I’ve done the lion’s share of running numbers during this exchange so I’d be thrilled if you wanted to cite some hard data for your claims instead of anecdotal and lived experience. (1/2)
@SimpleReason1@bradbatt Brother if you want to talk about math this conversation isn’t going to get better for your argument. You have a higher chance of living in poverty in rural TN than in urban TN. And Dems are not leading communities in rural TN
@SimpleReason1@bradbatt <3k obscenely wealthy Belle Meadians has a low impact on Davidson county’s lower overall poverty rate than Lake, Hancock, Pickett etc. Cost of living in these rural areas is still well above poverty line, and having to live below that line in rural TN isn’t “getting by on less”
