It’s not really a dig at these states more just stating how things are. Chain restaurants like these are the main game in town due to low wages and much lower population density.
The phrase “flyover state” is a pejorative used by coastal dwellers. It’s a put down and every person I’ve ever interacted with who uses it is a bigot or an enormous douche-canoe; often both.

I’d contest that, the smaller the city or town the less likely they are to have these kinds of chain restaurants. A place with a population of 60,000 may only have a handful of chain restaurants and anywhere with less than 30,000 may not have any at all. In my experience the smaller the population the higher the number of mom and pop restaurants.
It means you live in an area with relatively low population, and therefore low national corporate presence, and happen to be between two regions with relatively high populations, leaving the only convenient means of travel between the densely populated regions to be air travel?
Hmm never commented on your value as a person, just a conjecture/joke based on your apparent hate for the term flyover states.
Also, do you think that phrase applied to any non-coastal state? Because it doesn’t, it applies to the boring ass states, like say Wyoming that has nothing interesting going on whatsoever and mostly comprised of small population towns.
There are plenty of non-coastal states that are not considered flyover states, like Nevada.

Billion Dollar Solar Projects, FAANG DCs popping up like mushrooms, world leading rare earth mineral discoveries, billion dollar wind farms, world first carbon sequestration projects, world class fly fishing, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone National Park. Yup, you’ve got us figured out all right. There’s nothing going on here at all. 😆😆😆
I agree with you in regards to the restaurants but am aggrieved by the use of the phrase “flyover states”. It’s incredibly rude and dismissive.

What else would you classify say Wyoming as, theres fuck all there.
Lol found the flyover state resident
It’s amazing what people can turn into an insult.
I live in a “flyover state”. What does that say about me?
I mean, surely it means something, or you said it for no reason.
Please, psychoanalyze me based on where I live.

Yes, and? You supposedly work in tech and should damn well know that place of residence has absolutely nothing to do with a persons value.
Yet there you are…showing your bigoted ass to the entire world.
