Patterns of Death in the South Still Show the Outlines of Slavery
Almost the only people doing well in rural America are those with generational wealth. I know plenty of people from my small hometown that have been doing okay with their farms. One of them has a gravel business. Those without such luck are either moving to a bigger city or experiencing a declining quality of life, and they&#x27;re coping with drugs, meth mostly. I can&#x27;t imagine what that would be like in areas that haven&#x27;t been able to build that generational wealth.<p>The question is, how do we get rural economic development going again?
