entire midwest is that way... brain drain
the smart people move to chicago, some do NYC or CA, some do growing metro areas like denver, austin, raleigh, seattle, etc.
the dumb white trash stay in their small towns with no prospects of bettering their lives
there's no reason to stay - the jobs are gone, few good ones that are left have been given to H1b pajeets, the rest of the country has warmer/sunnier weather, better scenery, better roads, less taxes
