I'm with Dom on this Ben.
There are poor people who have every excuse in the world available, but don't lead criminal lives.
Poor whites? Jelly Roll versus JD Vance. 40 stints in prison v Yale Law and the Marines.
My wife is from a town of 200 in Iowa. There were some poor people, but decent people, only one career druggie dysfunctional who remains that way to this day.

And Ben, the biggest questions in my mind...
If he did 40 stints in prison selling drugs, how many people OD'd or died on those drugs?
If they did, are they acceptable collateral damage, sacrificed to the glory achieved by Jelly Roll, the celebrity?

If his particular drugs killed nobody, he contributed to an enterprise and degeneracy that has killed hundreds of thousands.

Lastly,
When Jelly Roll peaks and starts down the backside of his career, will he stay clean?
