People have been moving out of American poverty for decades. Now they simply move from poor places unprepared for diminished opportunities.
There are evidently good people in McDowell County... so what. So it is in every slum or barrio. The county is going to experience a brain drain of people with education and entrepreneurial talent for Columbus, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Charlotte.
The economic base for such prosperity as there was (coal mining) has all but vanished.
