Fox host (and boy sporting a hairstyle Mommy created by styling his locks with a finger and some spit) Tucker Carlson claims there aren’t as many beautiful things left in the country, presumably because we have PEOPLE [gasp!] living all over the land, and only empty places are still beautiful. “Have you driven around your country recently? You may have noticed there are fewer and fewer beautiful things in America. You’re not imagining that. It’s real. Dollar Stores are everywhere.”
Tuck’ems fails to acknowledge that he and his ilk advocate ruining the beautiful national and state parks by allowing everything from oil drilling to mass deforestation to animal extinction. But it’s his claim that “Dollar Stores” make the landscape ugly that exhibits his snobbiness. Besides, if he had his way, there would be no zoning regulations and you could have a gas station in your backyard or a [gasp!] Dollar Store up the street.
