He's also been in his PhD program for 7 years, which means he can't find a tenure-track job. People like that get weird. They can't figure out the job market, hang around grad school -- always one more year, one more year -- and they turn into the almost-40 smelly functional alcoholic.

Wonder if he feels the same way about the homeless overtaking his city or single moms?

Somebody has to live out here and grow the crops or cut and haul the trees or service the oil patch or run the barbed wire plant.

Yeah and fishing guides. They mostly live in the country.

So he doesn’t like rural America but lists his hobby as hiking ?
Something here doesn’t compute.

Can’t comment because I’ve never lived or been in a rural community for an extended period of time

Dude needs to read some history books about the men who fought for his freedom. The rural areas are very over-represented in this regard.

The real irony is that broke back mountain is the background of his picture. Let's kidnap him and force his to live in a trailer on 50 acres for a week.
