Population density and garbage are very much parallel.
Also, if the rural is so great, why do so few live there? Maybe the issue isn't that rural is superior(or patriot), but that it sucks for most people.
Lmao! Nebraska changed their slogan from "Nebraska, The Good Life" to "Nebraska, it's not for everyone".
I think what you stated has something to do with the slogan change. I agree, city life is easier for most people even if crime and pollution are higher.
In Nebraska, the EC has the effect of allowing rural communities to have a voice. The majority of Nebraskas population lives in two cities, Lincoln and Omaha. Their combined population vastly outweighs the rest of the state. Unfortunately, it seems that the EC also removes the voice of those two cities entirely since both cities voted overwhelmingly democratic in the last election while the state as a whole gave its EC votes to Trump.
Removing the EC would easily turn Nebraska (which has always been red) to a blue state.
I guess what I'm getting at is, in Nebraskas case, does the majority population adequately represent the needs of the state as a whole? Considering Nebraska is a major contributor to agriculture, should the two cities that have little to no contribution to the farming industry be able to have legislative power over the state of the farming industry?
