No one says that it is the governments job to ensure that every rural town has a local bank branch or a starbucks etc. People chose to live in rural areas. Along with the choice comes gains and losses. Gains such as larger property, quieter life. Losses such as decreased retail choice, less Internet access choice. Everyone makes trade-offs in life. It’s not up to the government to counterbalance the losses with policy.
