I think that's a great point, Mollari. I was born in the late 70s in U.S. flyover country and it seems like I've only ever seen decline around me. It was papered over for a while with internet and shiny tech gadgets, but that was a temporary cover up. In fact, from my perspective the internet really just made it apparent to the hinterlands how much they have been sucked dry over the decades. It enabled everyone to learn how the other half has been living.
