      Huh, these are really good! I admit I definitely didn’t see people born into rural poverty the same way I saw people born into urban poverty. That gives me a lot to think about!

        Like 75% of my basic training division was either inner city poverty escapism or rural poverty escapism.

        Ironically that became the uniting force of those people, something they could understand when everything else about the person is different.
