Maggie's Farm

As one who has always moved around, my whole life in fact, I have noticed in my adult years that the "movers" tend to also be "shakers" (what ever that means- I mean upwardly mobile, garghhh there I go again). But anyway- the idea of dispersing the poor is valid.

In the city you can do this. People can move to other areas and still have a home connection to family and friends. I think this is harder to do in rural areas. Nowhere to go, close enough anyway. The horizon is literally their horizon.

I can always tell when people are Native to my current state, and transplants. For instance: every single speed freak tweaker recyling aluminum cans and highway guard rails for a living was born here. You don't go places to be a piece of crap.

The top comment to the article talked about giving the ghettos money. I would reference Dave Chappelle's view of reparations. Bus tickets would work much better.
