I was
recently in Dawson Springs Kentucky delivering Christmas gifts to some of those
that lost everything in a devastating tornado that ripped through that small
town wiping 75% of it off the map killing many and ruining the lives of
thousands of others.
The
devastation is mind numbing but what is equally heart breaking is that this
small town like many like it across America had been destroyed years prior to
the tornado.
Globalization
and some argue a byproduct of globalization the massive amount of opioids and
meth in small town America has rotted it to the core.
Yes it’s not
new news but when you see it with your own eyes it’s an awakening.
I am not
going to pretend to have the answers to the solutions to this problem, but I
believe if we can provide quality jobs to these small towns across America it
might be a step in the right direction.
