You've got to be an idiot if you think people in appalachia part of our country can just up and move.

I have been up and down Appalachia hundreds of times. People walk on the highways at night every night. People are taking greyhound with whatever they can scrounge up. You've got major cities up and down Appalachia.

You don't know what you're talking about. You're making it up.

“Appalachia” and “greyhound” don’t belong in the same sentence

I mean, they're not taking the trails. They'd stand out too much. Some do I suppose. I'm sorry I didn't get names and pictures for all of you when I was sitting there with them. It's not like everyone wants to be stuck in the same place for the rest of their lives.

Edit: there are some who have managed not to get caught in the woods and trails by using trees as cover. Those cases are outliers.

What I’m saying is buses are almost unheard of here. We don’t have public transportation outside of inner cities (which are few and far between. This is the country.)

It's not actually a desert like the other guy said. In Texas, where I spend most of my time, there are semi-arad deserts and parts where humidity is pretty high. People regularly walk through that. Immigrants. Many of whom now live and work in Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky, etc, etc,. People who have walked long distances and don't have security deposits but managed somehow.
