> they should make rural districts suffer the consequences of their votes - I’m tired of subsidizing communities that would not do the same for me.

being in a society means having a safety net. different people agree on some things and disagree on others. apply the golden rule.



In theory I agree, but it's starting to feel like we need to say "society is not a suicide pact".


> being in a society means having a safety net.

The people in rural areas strongly disagree with that statement.


But perhaps even if true, it doesn’t invalidate the safety net, if we are a society that tries to put a net under people.


I agree and it would be applying the golden rule because ultimately it would benefit these communities.
