Will they put PA systems on vehicles and drive them through the streets with the daily message comrades?

I'm one of several thousand people that worked in a downtown office of a major metro area. We aren't going back. There are thousands of others in that same downtown in the same shape. Downtown offices are going to be reduced as they are super expensive to keep operating.

As far factories and what not, a lot of these are along major railroads or interstates. There are means to ship. Two of the biggest heavy equipment manufacturers in the country (Cat and John Deere) are both based in IL and a long ways away from Chicago.

We have opportunities, a lot of people just need to shift how they look at things.
What you are talking about isn't making new jobs in rural America you are talking about people moving outside of a major cities and working from home. There will be some of that but the experts predict a hybrid work environment post Covid. What specific jobs are we going to create out in rural America? I have not heard an answer to that.

As for Cat and John Deere those are both large compare manufacturers. I am talking smaller medium sized manufacturers that do not use rail and depend on trucking. Businesses clump together in population centers for a reason and its way more complicated than you think to disperse them.

It seems more likely than not that Biden is going to be the president. I'm just curious what policies do you want to see put in place or what changes do you see as a positive that are going to take place?
Not being a fucking asshole
Not lying every time he opens his mouth
Not being a racist while lying about not being one
Not dividing the country
Not suggesting violence from his supporters
Not sucking up to Putin, Kim, Xi, Erdoğan
Not making mask wearing to save lives a fucking political mantra
Not denying science like a neanderthal
Not calling people silly names like the school bully in middle school
Not putting self before every fucking thing else, including American lives
Not calling the war dead "suckers and looser"
Not whining like a fucking bitch
etc.
etc.
etc.

I understand you approve of all this shit, but that only makes you shit.

People are moving out to the country. I'm about to sign my final refinance documents and I noticed that they appraised my house about 75k$ more than it was worth when I started the process. I started Aug. 22.
Democrat run cities are shit holes. States are the same way. People are fleeing for their lives. Literally.

I can't wait until blm burn your entire cities down. You think these people are going to stop because an old white man Joe Biden is in office. Wait until you fools don't get legislation passed that they support. They'll burn your fucking house down. You idiots don't know what you have started. Enjoy. And BTW don't run to our finely run red states. We've had enough of y'all's bs.

Ah, that explains why 23 of the top 25 states with a surge in COVID cases on a per-capita bases are bright red states filled with those that ain't very bright.

Please google the meaning of "per-capita" if the concept eludes you.

Im a nutshell...the left and the right both feel you have the right and the opportunity to make a million bucks. But the left thinks they can spend it more wisely than you can.

Here is a pick of the shit hole I live in. Wife and I don't go out and socialize because of Covid but we like to drive downtown or along the beach and things are bustling. Some streets have been shut down to allow for restaurants to have outside dining.

You opened the door to socialism/communism in your own country. You are God damn fools.
By electing BIDEN?!? You're off your fucking rocker, pal. And that's putting it lightly. You're so far off your rocker that you have broken Earth orbit and are careening into the inky depths of cuckoo-land.

I'm confused - does the OP want to know about 'the left' or about Biden?

Our platform is to burn down your cities, take your TVs, and force you to get gay married to a trans person who is a muslim while being shown naked pictures of Hillary Clinton and bowing before the great God Obama in a re-education camp at your former wal-mart where radical ideas like equality, learning to ignore shit that doesn't impact you directly if other people do it, everyone should have healthcare, access to a quality education without going broke, decent housing and a job that pays a wage they can live on.

Goddamn centrist!
