See how the other half of America lives: The Wall Street Journal is running a brilliant series it’s calling “One Nation, Divisible” looking at the urban-rural divide in the United States and boldly declaring that “Rural America is the New Inner City.” Other entries so far look at the inability of rural Americans to move to cities as well as why huge swathes of the nation are “stuck in the dial-up internet age.” As the piece notes: “A Wall Street Journal analysis shows that since the 1990s, sparsely populated counties have replaced large cities as America’s most troubled areas by key measures of socioeconomic well-being—a decline that’s accelerating.” The series aptly chronicles the roots of the popular anger that brought you Donald Trump and the notion the US justice department needs to sue universities for discriminating against white people.
