“You are living in a bubble” That’s funny. I saw a quiz from Charles “I’m not a racist!” Murray to determine if you live in a bubble. The thing about it is, all the questions are aimed at determining whether you live in a diverse metro area and are educated. If so, you live in a bubble.

But it didn’t turn the question around. It didn’t ask whether you live in a place surrounded by people like yourself. It presumed that being uneducated and living in a homogeneous exurb or rural area was the default, and if you didn’t do that, you’re in the bubble.

But MOST Americans live in metro areas. Not many Americans work in factories anymore.

So, who’s in the bubble?
