This is such a fallacy. The only reason that 71% of industry is in these large cities is because that's where the corporate headquarters are located. That's where the profits get funneled to, not where industry is present. Corporate bureaucracy is located here, not most production centers.

Remember, news papers are a dying format, and papers like the NYT’s have to cater to their subscribers.
They usually write liberal tripe because that’s the red meat their readers want.

Well he did say “What if WE are the bad guys here”. We generally references the one talking or in this case writing.

I highly doubt this figure is accurate or provides a realistic representation of our economy. Assuming it is, however, this is where the elite-leftist class continually gets it wrong. The categorical grouping of economies with counties is backwards, as they try to take credit for economic numbers by virtue of their presence. It's about the classes of people and what it takes to make it all happen.
These elite-leftist enclaves might look like a big chunk of the economy, but it doesn't happen without blue collar workers to fix power lines, build roads, provide fuel, farm, etc.
While many of these so-called elites are busy trying to manipulate the future it's blue collar workers that guarantee their quality of life, today, and deliver their supplies and food and water, today. And in return, all the elites can offer is a world of less freedom, less prosperity, and a society that is, at best, fragmented and decayed, all while looking down their noses at the people that insure their safety and comfort.
These people, if we're being honest, are not elite. They're quite dumb, constructing a self-defeating cycle where they seek to iteratively destroy all the things that make their existence possible to begin with.
Pampered, coddled, and stupid. These are the people that will destroy our society, then simultaneously blame the rest of us while begging us to put it back together.

That is our shite country now and cocksuckers like Mike Pence and CHris Christie and Asa Hutchinson and other RIMOs are all for it.

That's because he's working at the NYT as a political writer and that's not what he does. So he writes what they want.
His background is writing on cultural observations, shifts and how people interact with each other. His former writing approach was a bit like Lewis Grizzard.
I read a lot of his stuff before NYT. He had great insight on journalists and why they lean left.
To paraphrase:
"When you go to an exclusive party in NYC or DC and you hobnob with rich CEOs you start to think 'They're not smarter than me. So how come they make so much more money?'
Then, those rich guys drive off to their mansion in a Porsche and you drive to your apartment in a Toyota. It makes you wonder why life isn't fair. You decide it's the flaw of capitalism. So, you become a socialist."

That's great but it's this way of thinking
that causes the problems. Just a personal example, my ex girlfriend has a masters degree from UGA and works there in admin........
and she made an 800 something on the SAT. She truly is an idiot, she's ignorant, she's naive, she's both simple minded and closed minded, she's also a progressive. I know one particular baw that works at a rock quarry and only has a GED because he dropped out of HS to work that would eviscerate that girl in any intellectual exercise. A lot of these "highly educated" elites that did nothing more than memorize books and PPTs automatically think they're smarter than other people who don't have a degree from a certain school or a degree at all. My point is not only is it elitism, it's also a lack of true intelligence. And it's the "elitist" side that lacks it, not the less educated simpletons that the elite despise
