Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis:
"I found this book incredibly irritating. Hillbillies, and presumably by extension other poors, are poor because they're ignorant and won't take advice because pride but he got out and learned discipline from the Marines so everyone else can do it but"
