Poor towns

 We are on the border of Indiana and Ohio in Richmond.  We drove about 50 miles on old U.S. 40, and we drove about 100 miles off-freeway in Kansas.  We were also generally eat lunch or dinner in little towns along the way.  Very few of these towns seem prosperous.  They are full of empty storefronts and unkept yards.  

This, of course, is Trump country.  Population is declining, kids want to get out as soon as possible, and I don’t think people are very happy.   There may be a solution, but I sure don’t know what it is.
