my favorite is seeing the broken down trailers, half of the trailer is folding from the damage and being held up by a 2x4, 1980 pinto in the driveway with rust all over it, kids playing in the yard with ripped up nasty clothing, sometimes you see an outhouse in the backyard....and here is the kicker...fun stuff.....sometimes you see a directv dish on the roof, and once I saw a huge dell box in the trash...LOL

A big part of the problem... is that the ones who don't go into the mines... end up going into drugs...
Then you have the Layer Cake effect..
The mayors... and representatives of those little ass towns... are the distributors.
Why else would a small ass town like Hazard or Logan have airports that have big black range rovers at them at midnight?
It's disgusting... There's hardly a middle class... your middle class there are your teachers and nurses... and that's it... You've got your elite/rich/corrupt... who are either car dealership owners or owners of other service companies or coal companies... OR pastors...
Then you have your extreme poor.
I can remember growing up and driving by this one house on the way to school.. and seeing the mom pimping out her 13 and 14 year old daughters... I remember asking my mother why that trailer always had strange men out front...
And babies.. TONS of babies... the little teenage girls were ALWAYS pregnant to pad their welfare checks... and dropped out of school by like 8th grade...
