 People just don't notice how bad things are.

Go to big cities like Tampa, or San Antonio, or Albuquerque, and there are homeless on every corner. Okay, that's down town, there are always homeless there. So you go out of the city, to the suburbs, but you still see them, hiding in bushes, pushing shopping carts around.

"Go to a small town". And pick up what job? There are no more businesses in small towns. Only Wal-Mart or pot stores.
