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...

totally. my dad used to sell insurance to coal miners back in the 90's and we would take monthly or bi-monthly trips down to those areas and it was so friggin weird...you have mansions on top of mountains with nice cars and pools and shit, but getting to those houses was surreal because you have to curve up a mountain side that was full of trailers and houses that were crooked and some didn't even have windows with people living there....crazy shit
