    I recognize that there is a lot of privilege at work here, such as the economic stability of having remote jobs that can cross state lines, not to mention a lot of passing privilege at play. But like, that’s kind of the point, right? If not us, who?

    Exactly!! You recognize your privileges and are using them for good. That’s awesome!

    I live in a shithole, non-battleground, mostly politically-irrelevant state (WV: not as shithole as some, but we’re on our way). While I could move elsewhere, I decided a few years ago that I might as well commit myself to the long haul and stay to try to slow the decline if making things better is off the table (both are uphill climbs, lol, but the latter is definitely steeper).

    I wish you all the luck. Hopefully you’re able to set a good example others will see and follow.
