Berkeley teacher: Rural America is full of "bad people"

Jackson Kernion, a self-described "Graduate Student Instructor at University of California, apparently doesn't like people who live in rural areas.

According to Campus Reform, Kernion let everyone know how he feels on Twitter, because apparently that's what you do in 2019.

According to the report, Kernion began the thread by advocating against affordable healthcare solutions in rural America, saying that “Rural Healthcare Should be expensive! And that expense should be borne by those who choose rural America!”

He argued that promoting a need for “affordable rural healthcare” is equivalent to arguing for rural Americans “to be subsidized by those who choose a more efficient way of life.”

“Same goes for rural broadband. And gas taxes,” Kernion added.

“It should be uncomfortable to live in rural America. It should be uncomfortable to not move,” he wrote.

Kernion tried to justify his statements with economic arguments about not making rural life “*artificially* cheaper,” but quickly devolved into personal attacks against rural and not “pro-city” Americans.

He eventually deleted the Tweet, because, you know, he realized half of America was angry at him. Actually it appears as if he deleted his account. But the Tweet lives on, and we have it for you.
