It looks pretty nice, so free and open. The air must be amazing and everything looks so spread out so they have to drive everywhere. But what do they actually do out there?
Do they go to football games and eat chili dogs? Hit the bars and go to concerts? Maybe go stargazing and camping with friends and girlfriends? Buy fast food and park their trucks off the side of the highway so they can just eat and enjoy the peace, the wind and the view? Tell me please, I want to soak in what life is like there.
I want to just 'bask' in that slice of Midwest Americana.

You can do that almost anywhere in the US

Why do americans hate unions?
Joshua Cox
Unions are historically corrupt and often affiliated with organized crime. At one time if you were a trucker and didn't join the Teamsters, you could wake up one morning and find your truck set on fire.
Carter Cox
Supposedly because of . It could be a p*Rkoid meme, but we also tend to do everything wrong here.

>But what do they actually do out there? Fish, hunt, and shitpost in peace.
My grandfather was a member of the USW. He witnessed all of the following occur:
>closed shop (ie. you had to join the USW to work at the steel mill) >guys demanding stuff like a month of paid sick leave if they got a paper cut or banged their knee on the job >useless people who came into work hung over or would sit around in a corner reading a Playboy or something, but because they were union, it was impossible to fire them >in exchange for this, they would also get to retire at 60 with a nice cozy pension+health plan
They didn't modernize anything either. The mill my grandfather worked at had a blast furnace made during the Wilson Administration. One time a Japanese delegation visited the place and they were bewildered at how a steel mill could still be operating like this; they thought they were in a museum.

The Upper Midwest historically tended to support socialist ideas like nationalized transportation and communication networks because it was settled by German and Scandinavian Lutherans and Lutheranism is a denomination that promotes collectivism. In 1892, Illinois governor John Altgeld, a German immigrant, pardoned three anarchists convicted in the Haymarket Riots six years earlier (the rest were dead or in prison by that point). He was run out of office when he ran for reelection a few years later. Wisconsin was also the home of famed progressive figure Robert LaFolette.

Uninteresting to visit, but a great place to live if you want low crime and low costs of living.

the real america, unlike the coasts filling up with foreigner garbage who have no idea what it means to be american. ohio is its mecca

It is objectively based, but you can do all that shit in any state. Most people are genuinely friendly. Hot summers and cold winters. Tornadoes. Mostly plains where I live, forested in some parts. Lots of muh german/scandi ancestry so more blonde hair than other regions. I live in a state in the western part of the midwest, and I like it. A few friends have lake houses so we spend time there a lot for summers and also when they freeze over in the winters. I mostly just shitpost on 4channel though so any safe place would be fine with me t.b.h
all of this except there is a fuckton of unaddressed social problems including poverty and unemployment and 1/3rd of the population is addicted to an opiate.
fuck socialism without national in front of it kys

is there a famine in colorado?

The south are not flyover states, retard.

They used to be very corrupt. The teachers union today doesn't even allow you to fire horrible teachers. unions in the US aren't like unions in the EU
Jonathan Peterson
It's full of fit rich people
Ethan Bell
Maybe in the Eastern Midwest states (where most are in the Rust Belt), but the western part (AKA West North Central) all of that is low compared to the rest of the country.

I don't know about them specifically but I guess that it should be the equivalent to the rural villages here. The people are really kind, however all of them have embraced the mediocrity of poorness and refuse to do anything to get wealthy, or even hate wealthy people and call them inferior city dwellers who can't plant anything. They love living apart from eachother in complete silence but also love getting smashed at the local pub, daily if possible, as there's literally nothing else to do. There's three kinds of people in general living there: the lower class that just wants to get by without starving and is afraid of cities, the old boomers who went through their last crisis and want to isolate themselves from society, and entrepreneur LARPers who think that they're about to become millionaires from their farms
This is how areas like that work here so I guess that it has to be something very close to it, correct me if I'm wrong
Joseph Reed
maybe in the very small towns, "flyover" states here still have cities and civilization
Robert Martinez
The south is the shittiest region in the US either way.
you should spend some time in the west that isn't on a mountain. The desert hellhole towns are the worst place you will ever see in the united states.
John Lee
try to start a union when you've imported 50 million legal immigrants, and 10-24 million illegal immigrants; mostly blue-collar workers, over the last several decades.
Elijah Phillips
You have 1 union that represents everyone in a field in the US. All auto manufacturing workers if you want to work in the auto industry you have to Join AAW if you want to be in a union. In some states though you are mandated to join the Union to work at all for a auto manufacturer. The Union is essentially getting free money out of your pay check and you don't get a choice to leave it. Then they donate it to political parties you many not always agree with. Never mind the mob used to be in tight with the union bosses.
Xavier Jackson
I swear stopping through those places are like setting foot on the set of "the hills have eyes".

I spent every summer growing up in new mexico because my great grandmother lived out there. It was hell. If not for being a 45 minute drive form the mountains I would have gone insane. Thank god the smell pinon and cool mountain air solves everything.
Jason Mitchell
The landscape is next to none, but the people are just fucking creepy in many cases. I suppose the isolation draws them in.
