I am from rural America. My county wide population fell by 25% within 10 years of the factory that supported the town moved to China. I hope they develop the shit out of that place, the people are poor as fuck and meth and alcoholism is rampant. Many drunk driving deaths, overdoses, and theft/robbery to support addictions. The school is absolute shit, and everyone drives the next county over to walmart to spend their social security, EBT, and pensions. The county i’m from is dead and dying. Most all of the infrastructure is crumbling. I have hope that it will be a booming place again, the way i remember it from the 80’s and 90’s. Everyone there is too poor to develop, and the few who are wealthy are very old and don’t care to get any richer, so the money must come from “outsiders.”
