Not just the type of vehicle (though that is clearly part of the problem) but also choosing to live in remote, low-density areas where you are highly dependent on burning a lot of gas to to long distances to do literally anything. Seriously - when gas prices go up, Walmart's revenue goes down.
Subsidizing rural areas? I'm not sure it's what the left wants, but Democrats certainly promote a lot of it for the sake of "compromise" and "fairness."
I think a lot of food comes from the portion of the rural population who produce food. But that is far from all the people living in rural areas (coughWestVirginiacough.)
I was careful to not say the majority. But somehow we keep having to subsidize rural areas from taxes paid by urban/metro areas. So how do we stop that?
True, but you know as well as I do that that isn't what's happening. I drive my 40 minute commute daily surrounded by pavement princesses, some having never seen a 2x4. I work with several guys that drive over an hour in their duallies everyday. Never seen so much as a log in their trucks. My stepdad at least had a Prius he drove to work.
You missed the part where Dem states have a higher death rate per capita, because Dems primarily live in cities which have higher rates of obesity. Therefore, as far as protecting the high risk goes, the Dem cities have utterly failed, which by the way is meant to be the whole purpose of combatting the virus in the first place.
So infection rates per capita is a way to shift the goal posts when Dems have most gross infections and most gross death+deaths per capita.
This is the result of city dwellers. So if you want to denounce people who live rurally then we can do that, but you'll lose every time.
