@BookDeath That's a complex problem for those people. Some would move away if they could but are trapped there with no money, no work, no education, but a roof over their head and supporting family around them. They're stuck for life and they know it and turn to drugs. They make poor choices at the voting booth because they want coal to come back and make them all rich.

@BookDeath Sounds like there's hope for reaching some of them. But so many are truly anchored to failed communities with no outside income (but for gov't), so staying until death seems likely. Hillary could have helped them, but they fell for Trump's lies. Education really helps.
