#my roomate told me my hometown doesnt deserve a train because the population is too small

[parkakeet]

why is it that when I say that smaller or more rural areas deserve the same public transit and resources that urban population centers get, people immediately tell me that due to the population size, it can't be supported.

like god. fuck everyone who doesn't live in a major city? this is why a lot of rural people stick with the damn republicans. no one else bothers to speak to them or give a fuck about them. Like. ofc they're not gonna get anything better under republicans, but at least they bother to acknowledge their existence.

rural communities are the base of our damn society, but we can't build train stations there because 'the population size doesn't support it'. ?

fuck.
