If we don't get some change in the leadership of this country (i.e., a new president), eastern KY is going to turn into a series of ghost towns.

Once the coal industry dries up, a large number of people who actually want to work for a living will have to move away. Then, all the jobs that depend on the local population to survive, such as health care and retail stores, will slowly wither away as well. Next to go will be the school system jobs, as the number of local kids drops even lower.

Eventually, all that will be left in this area are those people that are too lazy to get off their butt to work, and those that don't have to earn a living because they can live on their mommy and daddy's "old" money.
