Meanwhile, they continue taking drugs and refusing to relocate while blaming harder-working and more reliable brown-skinned people for their plight while trusting Trump to work some magic that will bring high-paying jobs to their economically-depressed and poorly-educated towns. Ain't gonna happen.

A number of my closest friends own contracting companies in a variety of trades and the above dynamic is very real in their businesses.
