What I find truly humorous is that folk[like the OP] buy into articles such as the one in the link.
And BTW-someone should let the author know why there is a 'shortage of mental health care' out in the sticks, wasn't needed prior to the influx of mentally unstable people[city folk] moving into those once rural areas.

Speaking of "mental health care" there's been a successful effort to place mental health counselors in schools. They actually create more mental health problems than they solve.

Wasn't John Boy the first closet q u e e r on a TV series? He always acted a little light in the loafers to be part of a backwoods farming family in Appalachia. Wasn't the actor who played Grandpa Walton gay, also? Will "Grandpa Walton" Geer was gay. Richard "John Boy Walton" Thomas is not gay unless its come on him lately. He has been married twice, to women, and has kids.

You could very well be right on this. My late mother-in-law worked as a secretary type person at the local mental health facility. The whole crew that worked with patients and administration with the exception of one black lady were nuts, and two of the men that I know of were homo. Maybe more.

Those of us in the reality-based community sometimes struggle to understand the world view of the more "eccentric" members of this forum, but perhaps this new study will shed some light: https://studyfinds.org/living-in-country-mental-health/I live in a rural area, but if I don't get out and about with some frequency I do go a little stir crazy. A couple of weeks ago the wife and I caught the traveling production of To Kill a Mockingbird with Richard ("John Boy") Thomas as Atticus Finch. The packed house gave the performance a standing ovation, it was a wonderful experience. This screams butt dart

@jameslavish
If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
This is inflation

Damn birds chirping all the time. Yeah, meadowlarks are back and singing all the time. Can't even have quiet time while out feeding the flock of 50 screaming pinyon jays that come for the scratch I put out for the quail and juncos. At least those last two are relatively noise free. But dang, the geese, swans, and cranes.............they can be some noisy SOBs. Even at night, if it's not the dang hootie owls it's the coyotes makin' a racket. At least the guy that used to live up the road 1/4 mile with the donkey moved a couple years back. No more listening to that bastid every sunrise. And my rooster died last summer. Bad news is, the rancher neighbor will be turning part of his herd out on the BLM lease behind our place in a month or two. Then we get to hear them calves bawlin' for their mamas, and mama callin' back even louder. I sure do miss the quiet of the 'burbs I used to live in. Police, fire, EMS sirens every day and night, the dang PD helicopter flying 100' over the 'hood looking for perps, airliners coming in for a landing at the airport, heavy truck traffic on the 4 lane road down the end of the block, general traffic noise, folks coming and honking the horn in the driveway to get the neighbor's attention, kids makin' noise all the time, dogs barkin' all night. I sure am depressed out here in the sticks.

Well maybe the Elitists should give up their large properties in the country to the peasants then move back to the city.
