\u201cIf they didn’t rig the dog shows, guess who’d always win?\u201d<\/p><\/div>Every “news” story about the ongoing Ant-exodus roiling America’s real estate markets attributes the phenomenon to the Coronavirus.<\/a> This is a lie, of course, as I have been pointing out for months. People who can are racing away from riots, rioters and urban chaos in general.<\/p>\n

Folks on the receiving end should rejoice and be glad in it: The new neighbors are Ants, even if they come from Grasshopper towns. Bring in them sheaves: They’re starving for Ant values.<\/p>\n

But what about the Ants who can’t race away? What’s going to happen to them?<\/p>\n

The people who have moved or are moving are “knowledge workers.” They can work anywhere, and the exsanguination of big cities was accordingly already baked in the cake.<\/p>\n

The workers who are left behind use non-laptopian tools on fixed capital. Though they may be better-grounded Ants than the ones who have fled, they cannot leave.<\/p>\n

This will not be reported, either, but the hard-working folks left behind to live with the disasters of Grasshopper politics will be “disproportionately” black and brown skinned people.<\/p>\n
