Why is the deep south of the United States so filled with poverty and trashy people? What's wrong with their economies?
<|assistant|>
The deep south of the United States has had a history of economic stagnation and poverty, which is linked to the region's reliance on agriculture and lack of access to new industrial jobs in the 20th century. Poverty and lack of opportunity have been compounded by the effects of slavery and racism, which have excluded many people from the region's economic success. As a result, many areas of the deep south have a high level of urban and rural poverty, and many people live in substandard housing conditions with a lack of access to basic resources.
