There are people in the USA who enjoy live where ever they live, you just have to look.
There are also people who are miserable no matter what paradise they are in.
Every place I have been, I have met decent people, every place I have been, you can find beauty, you just have to look a little harder in some places than others.
If you get far enough off any interstate you find people who have more in common than their differences.
Up north I found a lot of people working part time to pay electric bills and or gas but almost all their food came from the woods, rivers and lakes. I had a neighbor go out and buy me a decent used S-10 pickup truck simply because he knew I needed it and couldn’t afford it. He said he called in some favors to get it and if I would remember him when he needed me we would consider it even.
