You are not wrong about the effects of living in cities. I live in a highly agricultural Midwestern state. During the course of my lifetime I've seen the rural population driven off their lands through the fuckery of the bankers and commodities brokers.
The really infuriating part is that there are millions upon millions of acres of land out west that are owned by the Corporate United States that could be made into homesteads by citizens wishing to live a healthier, more fulfilling life. But that cannot be allowed because of corporate greed, bureaucratic ignorance, and "national security".
The Bureau of Land Management should be abolished and all federally controlled land other than the National Parks should be returned to the state's control for the purpose of homesteading.
It will never happen of course because that would benefit the people and not the Cabal.
