This isn't true.

It's a meme that achieved urban legend status.

Android and privacy are incongruent.

The reasons the article gives are because android chooses not to be an intermediate.

That's that the position for American libertarianism's.

I don't particularly hate taxes because I like my government services well funded.

I don't exist for your enjoyment.

Any study that reports as "People who do x, report y" is not science.

Self reporting is worthless.

At best this is inspiration for a scientific study that starts by showing if it is true by controlling for various factors.

What data do you have to back up corruption?

Keep in mind there are far more small towns than large towns. As a ratio it seems unlikely that small towns are more likely to be corrupt than cities.

The question then is what funds are they using to facilitate this corruption. My guess is federal and state funds because again, they lack the tax base.

Have to shoot off my own foot before I can run faster.

Donor auction, obviously.

The billionaire said I must eat these trays of shit sandwiches so I can have a chance to eat a turkey sandwich later.

There is a lot of rural land and it is worthless, that's why they cannot fund themselves.

Good.

Better for the environment anyway.

Rewild the rural landscape back to forests and prairies.
