Not OP. It's more like they're willfully choosing to suffer. So in that case, enjoy your misery!
They're not "willfully choosing to suffer." They're actually starting co-ops but choosing not to call them by that word. The OP just decided to be needlessly judgemental over that, and lead us down into this stupid, prejudiced subthread.
What are they calling them? I'm curious.
So, you're going to speculatively stereotype an entire group of people and condemn them based on your own hunch as to their politics and station in life.
While you're certainly entitled to an opinion, nothing about your entitlement precludes that opinion being a bigoted one.
What a bigoted existence.
> Yea I am stereotyping people based on my personal experience and what the author echos in the article. I’m in the Deep South and the article spoke about Illinois. Pretty far away but also the same mindsets.
Ah yes, the classically conservative Illinois which shares so much in common with the Deep South.
There’s nothing bigoted about it. Every one has an opinion, call it what you want. I don’t feel superior compared to them.
