He's currently at Costco buying a lifetime supply of Skippy.
I have a lifetime supply of Skippy: none.
If it isn't Smucker's, it's just not worth it. Let me guess, you can just unscrew the cap and remove your serving size of the spread? What's the point? If you don't have to stir and stir and stir and make a huge mess, you're missing out. Just peanuts and salt, friends, that's all you need.

Cities existed before the industrial revolution. And pretty sure the industrial revolution began about 50 years before there were vehicles.

Manufacturing jobs, i.e., the transformation of raw materials into a more complex product or output, is by definition, value-added.

You're confusing correlation with causation.

You can't be arguing for a rural alternative (absence of a city) because rural poverty is actually pretty damn high. So you are arguing for suburban alternative (absence of a city). But, by definition, how can one have suburbs without a city?

It isn't possible to solve poverty because the public rejects the socio-political choices / requriements those solutions entail.

There is a reason why the industrial revolution took place in cities and the technology revolution took place in the suburbs.
Pittsburgh's technology revolution was urban. So was Charlottes.

It is very easy to line up examples for this. Rust belt cities are falling left and right as they try to get new manufacturing jobs, while the Carolinas are booming with Buffalo transplants as white collar jobs open up along the coast.
Not sure I follow. I don't believe Rust belt citites are (only) trying to obtain (only) manufacturing jobs. The Carolinas growth is by no means white-collar-only. They are receiving mfg. jobs from rust-belt citites (due in part, but not totally, to cheaper labor costs and homeowner property tax rates).

Probably wasn't erotic enough. Or teenage girly enough.
