I’m visiting a rural part of the southern US, and I have noticed that about 2/3 of the houses outside the town have yards full of cars and tractors in various states of disrepair, as well as tons of other miscellaneous stuff. Why is that? Is it kind of a culture of self-reliance and a supply of spare parts? Some other reason?

    Nobody cares about this if there’s no law against that, so you generally see what people would act like if it were’t for more civilised rules of urban areas. I don’t consider that self reliance culture as these parts are literally going to rust away.

    Guys most of this stuff will eventually be discarded. It’a fact. I had that mindset earlier but now i just move on.
