I say this not to kiss anyone's ass, but the conversations here - even the sillier commentaries - are exceptional in comparison to General Main Street America to an extent I'm not sure we can even fathom.
I'll go out on a limb here and suggest I see more Kardashians Watchers and 'Muricans than you do on a regular basis. The slice of people into which you fall is many multiples thinner than you think. That you are paying the bills isn't proof the Luddites had it wrong. It's proof you fall into the upper 30% of society that has a marketable skill set.
You're about as "typical American" are you are female.

I didn't say I was a typical American. It seems pretty obvious to me that at any point in time, there are both people who are enjoying the benefits of living and working in areas that are benefiting from economic change, and people who aren't. I get that not everyone is the former. I don't get why you like to pretend that the former doesn't exist.
