A generation ago, most of these places had working economies, a strong social fabric and a way of life that drew a steady stream of urban migrants. Today, many are in crisis. Populations are aging, more working-age adults collect disability, and trends in teen pregnancy and divorce are diverging for the worse from metro areas. Deaths by suicide and in maternity are on the rise. Bank lending and business startups are falling behind. Here is the data that tells the story" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Two things here. 1) Trump Administration is going to try and ethnically cleanse the country of two hundred thousand Salvadorens. This will not help the rural people that most likely appauld this insidious move. 2) Rick Perry at energy was rejected in his attempt to fix the market and make it more regulatorily profitable for coal burning over natural gas. The Republicans on the board rejected the move which wouldn't have help the coal mining regions too much anyway since mining coal doesn't require anywhere near as much labor as it use to.
