Poorest town in each state
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/economy/2018/05/08/which-town-your-state-poorest-list-financial-hardship/581103002/ There's a caveat. It's poorest town with a population between 1,000 and 25,000. Red Cloud has that honor in Nebraska. Author Willa Cather spent some time there growing up. I've ridden through a lot of towns in Nebraska. Red Cloud doesn't really strike me as poor. It still has some going businesses. The poor towns are those that don't even have a bar left. Their heyday was decades ago. The railroad is gone if there ever was one. There might be a couple hundred people left, at most. Mostly old, probably. Housing is cheap. The towns I'm thinking of are officially villages. |

Reminded me of Walter Williams column this am: https://townhall.com/columnists/walt...douts-n2478229 Poor people in America would be rich compared to most of the world. I read a story about an American representative to a world conference on how to help the world's poor people. The American rep remarked that some Americans were so poor that they had to live in their cars. A rep from a Third World country was astounded and said,"Your poor own automobiles?!" ^_^ [8~{} Uncle Po Monster |
