@Forestofenchantment@PurpCat it's also really hard to leave urban areas. The cost of living is way higher than the wages, so you really don't have the means to leave unless you were in a good financial situation to start with.
Yeah. Doesn't help the countryside has been drained of non-generational jobs and young marriageable women. You pretty much have to marry in to country life.
Hope you do bud, but even if it's into the office once every fortnight a six hour commute is worth living in an area with relatively few browns (pajeets in your case)
@burner@rher@Forestofenchantment@PurpCat If you can do fully remote work I know west virginia has grants now where they will give you like 15k to move there. Before anyone says >west virginia, there are a lot of great small towns there on the ohio border its not all meth trailer parks.

WFH has changed that. The trick is, finding a WFH job that isn't a fake email job, isn't picky about who they hire (after shit like orange site users gloating about getting hired and seeing how long it'd take to be fired), or being in the right caste to get a job like that of the troons at @RustyCrab 's workplace who would get paid to do nothing complete with fake performance reviews.
@PurpCat Taking the bait. Let me spend gas while going grocery shopping for 1 or 2 items instead of walking 5 or 7 minutes. And shopping for a bajillion things every time to make the commute worth it is just a cope for not having stores around.
@Kerosene@PurpCat how much gas can you possibly use for a trip to the grocery store
let's imagine i'm rich and live in a rich person suburb on a golf course on the far outskirts of the developed area or some shit and the nearest commercial zone with a grocery store is 10 miles away
let's also imagine it's blowy as fuck outside and i'm doing 80 on the interstate into a 40-50mph headwind one way and use an entire gallon of gas, but only half a gallon on the way back
and let's also assume total joe brandon victory for another 4 years and gas prices have been raised to $6 a gallon because fuck you that's why
9 dollars worth of gas
NINE ENTIRE DOLLARS IN THE ABSOLUTE WORST CASE SCENARIO
totally insignificant compared to even a small cart of groceries
realistically it's one or two dollars of gas
if you cannot brain at the bare minimum level of thinking about what groceries you'll need for the next week or two and putting them on a shopping list, you're ngmi and gas prices are the least of your worries
