What if we capped the number of dermatologists so that kids going into med school for the purpose of becoming Skin care influencers don’t take slots that would go to Family Med students

Correction: it's about 3, not 4-7, for recirculation. I was half-remembering a number from some stockgrowers association thing awhile back. The basic point still holds though, and the ag recirculation number is higher than in most other primary sectors.

IIRC typical recirculation multipliers for farming counties are something like 4 to 7. Of course you also have other outside sources of largesse - SNAP, PILT, SSI, etc. But it's not as simple as "15% are farmers and the other 85% are SNAP parasites and/or quasi-suburbanites".
Some thoughts on tradables, keystone industries, and how stats like "only 4% of Iowans are farmers" or "only 1% of West Virginians are coal miners" can be unintentionally misleading about how those local/regional economies work.

Replying to @atlanticesque
This misunderstands how keystone industries work. Obviously not for all rural areas, so not anywhere near all 60 million, but in an area where farmers are 15-20% of pop, that's the tradable whose money inflow powers the rest of the local economy. So probably 15-20mil at least.

This is a great point -- can't an American be rooted in AMERICA? Much of the "localist" / "rootedness" discourse seems to imply you must pick a town or a county and be rooted 100% there or else you're an evil cosmopolitan. But isn't an American's birthright the WHOLE COUNTRY?

To add to the difficulty: I grew up in a variety of different places, and almost none of them are where I was born I’m an American. I’m rooted in America, simple as that

Here’s the scenario: * A couple is 36 & 41 years old, together for 7yrs (unmarried) * Combined income: $369K/yr * Debt: $78,000 in student loans (all hers) * Savings: His: $20,000. Hers: $4,400. * He owns the house. She doesn’t pay rent. Is it fair for her not to pay rent?
