How do small towns even exist?

Say you are a mcdonalds owner, you get like 3 customers per day. How can you afford to live? Seems like everyone that lives in small towns owns big ass Pick-up trucks and a ranch. Where are they getting this money from?

small rural towns sure are interesting, and from my experience, fairly friendly and warm once you get west of the ozarks, and the rivers go from muddy brown to nice and clear. Kentucky can go die in a hole.

I rode my bike bike across the US this summer and after coming down the underground railroad head west through missouri, kansas, Colorado, up into wyoming, montana, idaho and finally oregon. things really changed the further west I went until i got near the coast, and i really liked the giant sections of BLM land and the way out parts where theres so much space people can do whatever the fuck they want, unlike here in tax-achusetts urabn areas that I moved back to for my gf. fucking hatte high population density. after a while i though seeing more than 5k pop marked on my map was a big city. it was nice

They don't get big chain places. A lot of the businesses/restaurants are basically run out of people's homes. For example, my crew camped just outside of a very tiny town while we were passing through Wyoming. The gas station was just a family's home with a pump in front, little toddlers running around the store/etc. The local restaurant was just a dude cooking on a grill outside of his house, his very cute little girls working as waitresses, food was really good though. I've been through a lot of small towns in my line of work because I work in remote wilderness.

Basically, they make money on people passing through, exporting stuff, or travelling for work and coming home on weekends.

Nothing, it would free the farmers to specialize in more productive fields (no pun intended) and further innovate for us all. Literally a win-win scenario.
Trying to artificially maintain low-skill nonspecialized jobs like this stagnates and suffocates an extremely advanced economy like the US'. This is literally economics 101.

Yes. All the illegals coming up here are the fault of the same rural people bitching about them. We can out subsidize our farmers more than Mexico can for corn, and they run up here for work.

I was from a small town of 1500. Nearly everyone has a “bad back” or “bad knee” and can’t work. And milks social security or VA benefits and claims to be “retired”. It’s the whole reason the military is worshipped in these places. Can get 80-100% military disability $3k a month when you get out. The old fucks had union jobs and made sure to destroy the union on the way out so they could retire opulently and the kids don’t get shit. Fuck these people.

land is so cheap in flyover states and small towns, you could buy a huge house for like 200k, the same house would cost 1-1.5m anywhere else

similarly rent is fractional compared to cities, a business unit is like $5000 a month in a city, in small towns id assume their rent is probably below $800 a month

Basically you trade convenience and big city living for a stable and comfy household, but evident by the population density in the big cities, not a lot of people chose to do so
