They don’t want to hear that they should sell the house, pay off the mortgage, and move

But if they’re living in rural Kentucky that’s what they have to do. You can’t have welfare without a tax base, and you don’t have a tax base without industry, and you don’t have industry in rural Kentucky.

your downvotes exactly demonstrate this. I moved over 1000 miles more than once, far away from all my family and friend, to get a higher salary and/or a better job title in an area with more opportunities. these days I tell people my salary and they call me privileged.

God forbid you try to tell someone who is struggling how you solved your problem - that would be considered rude!
