00:00
All right, I'm going to ask you a question, and then you'll come back to me.
00:07
In America, we have, some of you may know, a life expectancy on average, how long we live,
00:15
which is lower than many other countries, okay?
00:17
It's about four years lower than other wealthy countries.
00:20
What you don't know is that if you're working class in America,
00:24
you will live seven years shorter life than if you are wealthy.
00:31
Why is that?
00:33
Why do working class people die at an earlier age than people who have money?
00:39
What's the word?
00:40
All right, you got it.
00:43
Talk to me about what stress means for an average person in America or in Mingo County.
00:51
What does that mean?
00:52
What does life mean when you're dealing with stress every day?
00:55
Who wants to answer that?
00:57
All right, I see a woman with a kid back way in the back.
01:01
All right.
01:02
Oh, you're going to get a mic.
01:06
I'm coming.
01:09
For a lot of people in Appalachia with children who work full-time,
01:15
it's crying at the grocery store,
01:18
having to worry about being able to make enough money and afford things, pay our bills.
01:25
A lot of times it's choosing between paying a bill or having food in the cabinet or the refrigerator.
01:31
So that's really stressful.
01:32
And stuff like that, stress, it affects your health, and then you don't have health care.
01:37
And then you have nobody to fall back on because your parents are probably still working if you're from here,
01:44
even your grandparents.
01:46
So there's not a lot.
01:47
And then child care is ridiculously expensive, even with help and assistance.
01:51
So it's very stressful.
01:55
Okay.
01:55
Thank you very much.
01:57
All right.
