Robert Gipe, a novelist who lives in Appalachia, on what might help...
We all crave honorable work at a living wage.
We want success tied to the success of the community.
We want to be safe.
We are weary of fear.
We are exhausted by hate.
We in Appalachia join our fellow Americans in asking:
Who will encourage our best selves?
Who will enable our joy?
Who will release the energy hiding in our hearts?

In reference to this thread (Gipe and Gipe(2)), I am reminded of the artistry that @th3j35t3r created for us...
Gipe(2) represents the original text from the NYT article, Gipe is the IMO more dramatic representation of the same words
As I do think @th3j35t3r would say too...
