I was wondering when the "too poor to move" left was going to come in and explain to us how hard it is to be poor. Their years of experience being a poor adult, scratching by, pay check to pay check, personally knowing multiple people who desperately wanted to work and was willing to move for it, but alas....they were all too poor. Besides, it's much better to not move and stay jobless where the politicians you voted for know you and can continue to screw you over by making you get a cosmologist license just to paint nails or put in weaves. Plus, it's where your mama was poor, and her mama was poor and her mama was poor, why try and break that cycle by moving someplace with jobs?
arguably the break-up of communities and the atomisation of society is what has led so many to be so bleak about the future of America they vote for Trump and his ilk. I mean, if a former mill town loses all its degree-possessing (or even high-school graduated) and ambitious people to the cities and burgeoning areas, what is left? The people tied down, often those with addictions or lack of education and retirees. And what do those people think, as they see the tax base erode and public facilities dilapidate, the waves of drugs that take ennui-ridden dropouts hostage, the lack of gainful employment anywhere?
