Knowing the area, I believe the right word is "stupid" rather than lazy. No, well.... both, actually.

I can't think of any state I ever lived that the legislature didn't ignore the needs of the small rural communities.

Jasper County Missouri nearly came to war over the distance between Joplin and the county seat in Carthage. Back then it was a days ride by horseback. If the rider wasn't there when the courthouse closed he had to stay over one night. The county settled it by building a second courthouse in Joplin. Today it is one of the few counties in the nation that has such an arrangement.

The courthouse in Carthage is the third; It was finished after the Civil War. It is open every day, has a museum, a 100 year elevator, county offices, and it holds court, notably civil and domestic cases. Murder and mayhem is tried in Joplin. It worth the trip to see the old courthouse especially at night during the Christmas holidays. .

Brevard County, Florida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brevard County has more than one courthouse due to the size of it.

Multiple courthouses might not be that uncommon. The county I live in now has two. One in the county seat of Fairfield and one twenty miles away in Vallejo. The County I previously lived in had two also...again about twenty miles apart

17.3 miles (over relatively flat terrain) is a days ride by horseback? I'd be shooting that horse, pronto.

Jasper County, Missouri nearly came to war over the courthouse not long after the Civil War ended and there was a money/power shift away from Carthage. It was all about time and distance.

Funny that those jobs were done by Americans before the influx of illegals.

What history book are you reading? Every since our country was formed, we have had jobs that American's won't do and immigrants, legal, illegal, or slaves in chains - we're brought in to do them for us.

A few, yes, but not the majority of the jobs now-a-days being held by illegals. Construction is only one of the many that now uses illegals instead of Americans. Yes, there are some Americans but in the southwest, hardly any at all, except for journeymen electric and such.

Has to do with realism not racism

Everything from culture to crime rates change when the people that settle an area become a minority

Thanks for the response though
