So you are suggesting that rural areas with low populations attract drug
production? The solution is to have larger populations in the rural areas?
Seems that I hear lots of complaints from some folks about that too.

couldn't sell and just moved out this is suposed to be a positive factor for
rural America.

I THINK NOT.

Yes, it is if you look at the long term of the cyclic nature of the world.
Nothing can go continuously in one direction with correction. The stock
market is a good example:) As time goes on many of these areas may be
excellent opportunities for young people to get a start.

You clearly do not know of my background apparently based on the above
comment. I have mostly held positions of very down to earth technical and
environmental (safety and health) for many decades. Very practical real
world planning and carrying out these services to others by managing the
operations and performing much of the work. Also, grew up on a farm for part
of my childhood, and have lived on another farm after military service, but
that was around 30 years ago.

Sincerely,
