Money is certainly not as important as happiness, I never said it was. However if you have come to that conclusion, then you don’t get to complain about not having something, because you could always get a job and have it. As a Christian I’m sure you know the verse “whoever shall not work, neither shall he eat” I never said moving to where the money is is what anyone should do. I said if you can’t support yourself, or you want more, and there is absolutely no work where you live, then you need to do something about it. You don’t just get to sit and complain and expect someone else to buy it for you. I also never said that work is easy, it’s not, it’s very hard, so is life. However at the moment FINDING work is easy. I’ve worked two jobs for about 25% of my working life. Not because I had to to survive, but because I wanted to better my situation and my families. I’m saying do what you want, but don’t complain about having to work for it, or say there isn’t any work to be able to afford internet, because that’s just untrue.
And I never said there isn't any work, only that in many rural places it's difficult finding work. I've worked three part time jobs at a time before. You do what you have to. But I'm sympathetic to people who have roots somewhere and hang on by the skin of their teeth because that's home where their family and friends are. And that often means doing without things that aren't necessities. Or figuring out alternatives like if you want internet go to McDonald's or the library. You don't need to spend a lot on a laptop when a Kindle Fire tablet works fine. There are plenty of workarounds besides uprooting yourself. Unfortunately too many people in these areas these days rather than figure out a better way fall into despair and abuse drugs. It's a very different world than growing up with many opportunities in a large urban/suburban area.

I understand but ultimately you control your own destiny. I never said anything was easy. My wife got very sick, I wasn’t sure how it was going to end. All I could think about was what was going to happen if something happened to her. I certainly wouldn’t be able to work in feeders at night to support my family. I wouldn’t be able to afford my current lifestyle and childcare. So I would’ve had to sell my cars, house, and get a new job that almost certainly doesn’t pay as much. It would have been devastating not only to me but to my children also. Life is hard, damn hard, but you do what you have to. I to am sympathetic to these people, but what can you do but push on. That’s why the Bible’s message on helping, and doing unto others is so important. However if someone won’t do anything to help themselves, then I am not sympathetic to them. It’s internet, it’s not food, water, or shelter. In todays climate it is just too easy to better yourself, it only takes a little effort. And again if there are no opportunities to better your situation where u live, then you need to move, or do without. Like I said, I’d love to live way back in the bush in Alaska, but there is not a lot of opportunities, so I live where there are opportunities. Your family will understand.

Gov. Kathy Hochul is implementing this rule via directive to the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The DEC will then regulate these rules into effect — the directive is similar in nature to California’s stepped approach.

By model year 2026, New York would require 35% of sales to be zero-emissions vehicles. By 2030, that figure jumps up to 68% of sales. And then finally in 2035, it switches over to 100% of vehicle sales needing to be of zero-emissions vehicles. These rules will apply to “all new sales of passenger cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs.”

I wonder if they can buy in the next state over and still register in New York? Or California?

Sin has all but been banished from the internet. Good porn is getting harder to find all the time. Good sin was easier to download years ago when the internet was just getting going.
Pray tell, sir.
What is the standard by which you measure "good" when it comes to porn?
