 \reflection{This chapter tires to give a satisfying reaction to the socioeconomic problems faced by Vance, his family, and his community. He recognizes the social programs instituted by companies and governments (adopt-a-kid, social services, education grants), but he knows that's not enough because the problems still exist. Vance believes that part of the reason for upward mobility is so scarce in these poor communities is because of how poor people act. They are often financially short-sighted when they're trying to provide for their kids, and social support structures are failing because of social pressures. People are forced to act invulnerable, and not share their emotions because that might get them hurt. They also can't admit fault and improve from a problem because then they get hassled for the issue. Instead, people blame external actors like Barack Obama.}
