J.D. Vance Quote: “Mom’s brothers would come up and want to go carousing with Dad,” Uncle Jimmy explained. “They’d go drinking and chasing women. Uncle Pet was always the leader.

J.D. Vance Quote: “Part of the problem is how state laws define the family. For families like mine – and for many black and Hispanic families – grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles play an outsize role. Child services often cut them out of the picture, as they did in my case. Some states require occupational licensing for foster parents – just like nurses and doctors – even when the would-be foster parent is a grandmother or another close family member.”

J.D. Vance Quote: “The people are physically unhealthy, and without government assistance they lack treatment for the most basic problems. Most important, they’re mean about it – they will hesitate to open their lives up to others for the simple reason that they don’t wish to be judged.”

I imagine that the discomfort they feel at leaving behind much of their identity plays at least a small role in this problem. One way our upper class can promote upward mobility, then, is not only by pushing wise public policies but by opening their hearts and minds to the newcomers who don’t quite belong. Though.”

As a 2011 Brookings Institution study found, “compared to 2000, residents of extreme-poverty neighborhoods in 2005–09 were more likely to be white, native-born, high.”

The people who ran the courthouse were different from us. The people subjected to it were not.”

J.D. Vance Quote: “Papaw wasn’t ideal company for a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl with an active social life.

To.”

J.D. Vance Quote: “But this book is about something else: what goes on in the lives of real people when the industrial economy goes south.

He wanted a little extra to eat, but felt uncomfortable asking.”

J.D. Vance Quote: “Our kids perform poorly in school. We might get angry with them, but we never give them the tools – like peace and quiet at home – to succeed.

J.D. Vance Quote: “How much of our lives, good and bad, should we credit to our personal decisions, and how much is just the inheritance of our culture, our families, and our parents who have failed their children? How much is Mom’s life her own fault? Where does blame stop and sympathy begin?”

J.D. Vance Quote: “There are lessons to draw here, among them what I’ve noted already: that one consequence of isolation is seeing standard metrics of success as not just unattainable but as the property of people not like us.
