About 2 decades later, I watched the same thing happen to the rural areas of Oregon. The number of suicides was astronomical, the bankruptcies were heart-rending, and the ending of all productive industry in the entire region as it came to a screeching halt - for NO valid reason.

People who worked for a living and did productive things simply could not cope with the idea that they were simply no longer allowed to earn a living - all to satisify the political whims of some special interest group that didn't give a flying rip about anything but influence and money. Alcoholism, drug use, suicide by many means, including drinking, drugs, car wrecks, or other self destructive behavior exploded and the incalculable number of families that broke apart or simply disintegrated has been well documented - but hardly published.

The lesson learned: Liberals do indeed care ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about people, and everything about wanting control by force, in all ways believing themselves morally entitled and thus, justified.
I understand, same thing happened to a Business my father had, the customer put in there PIN number were their Social security numbers, and long story short because of their stupidity we lost everything.. I could have had a very easy childhood and life, but the school of hard knocks providing you look, listen and learn is a very great school...painful, heartbreaking, sanity shattering but reward,

Like a ingot of rust being throwing into the high temperature hell that is the blast furnace, only to be strengthened, harden, and made superior, to emerge impervious to the most hellish conditions, to achieve amazing feats, and build greatness.

America and her Patriots are nearing the end of this blast furnace. Upon emergence we will be impervious to the lies and propaganda of the progressive statist. We will achieve wealth, prosperity, and amazing feats.

I've looked on Zillow and even the houses in the ghetto tend to cost more than that.

You have to be a certain kind of person to live in places like Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Life is very brutal there at times and you have to be tough and resourceful to survive the winters there. In big northern cities, when it snows 2 feet, the city sends an army of workers out to plow the roads. In Montana if it snows 2 feet, you had better have a vehicle that can get through it or you better have enough to survive a week or two. And if your power goes out, you had better have plan B because it might be days and days before anybody fixes it. Nobody is going to plow your road for you. Those states are truly "you are on your own" kind of places which is why few people choose to live in them. If you see that these people are rugged individualist, this personality plays more towards the philosophy of the Republican Party which also holds that each person is responsible for his or her station in life. I don't agree with that philosophy but that is what it is.

All that is mostly only in Salt Lake City and it's many suburban environs. Once you get out of the Salt Lake valley, the rest of Utah is much different, both north and south. Life in the northern part of the state is mostly rural and very much like living in Wyoming or Idaho, and central and southern Utah is the same, except with an old-school Mormon culture that has been largely lost in SLC.

There are some places bordering Nevada and California that have developed drug problems, but that's mostly due to how the Interstates and other highways intersect in the border areas. The drug runners are always playing cat and mouse on those roads, a lot like the moonshiners once did on the back roads of the south. While gangs are certainly part of the drug trade, they stay pretty low and off the radar in southern Utah.

Their money is made further north. I-15 is one of the major drug routes north to south, and the mules haoth states have busted lots of pot runners who are carrying legal marijuana from one state to another legal state. They have no legal protection in either Idaho or Utah, where any pot is still illegal.

The group who destroys free states are urbanites, not a party affiliation. The intermountain west is remote and rural, and when urban folks move in, they expect to have all the urban conveniences and services. These attitudes are natural, because most urban folks take them completely for granted.

Once here, they all want to make the place they move to just like the one they left behind. That, too, is natural. That's why the U.S. is full of New Hollands, New Swedens, New Englands, China towns and little Koreas.

There really isn't much diversity anywhere any more. Every city looks a lot like every other city.
