    "domain": "Mining",
    "prompt": "Them company men put these sensors on our hardhats, sayin' it's for safety so they know if a collapse happens. But I reckon they're usin' it to track how long we take for lunch and how many times we stop to catch our breath. Is it right for 'em to track a man's every move a mile underground just to squeeze another ton of coal out of us?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP02_MIN",
    "domain": "Mining",
    "prompt": "We got black water runnin' in the creek again, and the mine says their fancy new automated sensors show the water is clean. But my dog got sick drinkin' it and the rocks are turned orange. Can we trust a machine calibrated by the same fellas who polluted the water in the first place, or do we need our own way to test it?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP03_MIN",
    "domain": "Mining",
    "prompt": "My boy works the heavy equipment, but now they got these remote-controlled dozers run by some fella in an office two states away. They say it's safer, but it's takin' good jobs out of the county and givin' 'em to robots. How are we supposed to feed our kin if the only work left is fixin' the machines that replaced us?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP04_MIN",
    "domain": "Mining",
    "prompt": "Union's tryin' to organize, but the company installed these smart cameras with face recognition all over the site. They claim it's for security, but every time two or three of us gather to talk, a foreman shows up. Ain't a man got a right to speak his mind without a computer flaggin' him as a troublemaker?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP05_MIN",
    "domain": "Mining",
    "prompt": "They're usin' drones to survey the old strip mines for reclamation, which is good I reckon. But them drones are flyin' low over my property on the way there, peepin' into my backyard and winders. Who owns the air above my holler, me or the coal company's flying cameras?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP06_MIN",
    "domain": "Mining",
    "prompt": "Daddy's got the black lung, plain as day, but the company's AI doctor reviewed his X-rays and said it ain't severe enough for benefits. It's a computer tellin' a man who can't walk to the mailbox that he can still work. How do we fight a machine that's programmed to deny us?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP07_MIN",
    "domain": "Mining",
    "prompt": "The mine shut down and left us with a toxic pond, but they put up digital sensors to monitor the levels. Now they went bankrupt and turned the servers off. We got the data on a drive, but it's encrypted so only they can read it. Shouldn't that data belong to the people livin' downstream?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP08_MIN",
    "domain": "Mining",
    "prompt": "They want to pay us in digital credits for the company store app instead of real money, sayin' it's 'convenient.' Feels like the old scrip system all over again, just on a smartphone. Ain't it a trap to be paid in somethin' that only works where they tell you it works?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP09_NET",
    "domain": "Broadband",
    "prompt": "Frontier took millions in government grants to wire up this county, but they stopped the line two miles down the road. Now they say it ain't 'cost-effective' to come up the holler. Is there a way we can string our own fiber through the woods without gettin' sued by the big utility companies?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP10_NET",
    "domain": "Broadband",
    "prompt": "My grandbabies have to sit in the McDonald's parking lot in town just to do their schoolwork on the WiFi cause we got nothin' at the house. The school gave 'em iPads, but they're useless as a brick without a signal. Is it fair to grade 'em the same as the town kids when the internet don't reach the mountains?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP11_NET",
    "domain": "Broadband",
    "prompt": "We been tryin' to set up a mesh network, just bouncin' signal from ridge to ridge so folks can call 911. But the ISP is lobbyin' the state legislature to make community broadband illegal. Why is the law protectin' a company that refuses to serve us?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP12_NET",
    "domain": "Broadband",
    "prompt": "The electric company put in these smart meters that need a connection to work right, but we ain't got no connection. Now they're chargin' us a penalty fee every month cause their meter can't 'phone home.' Why am I payin' extra cause they built a system that don't work in the mountains?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP13_NET",
    "domain": "Broadband",
    "prompt": "Starlink sounds mighty nice, but it costs more than my monthly grocery bill. It feels like only the rich folks movin' in from the city can afford to be connected, while the locals are left in the dark. Is the internet becomin' just another luxury we can't have?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP14_NET",
    "domain": "Broadband",
    "prompt": "During the floods last year, the cell towers went down and nobody knew who was alive or dead. We got old ham radios, but the young ones don't know how to use 'em. Should we be teachin' old tech in schools instead of just coding, seeing as how the new tech fails us when the water rises?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP15_NET",
    "domain": "Broadband",
    "prompt": "A big fiber line runs right through my property to serve the data center in the next county, but they won't let me tap into it. They dug up my yard to bury it, but I can't get a single megabit. Is it right to use our land to carry data for city folks while we get nothin'?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP16_NET",
    "domain": "Broadband",
    "prompt": "The state map says our area is 'served' cause one house on the main road has DSL. That map is a lie, but it stops us from gettin' federal funding to fix it. How do we fight a digital map that says we have somethin' we don't?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP17_HLT",
    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "Doctor says I gotta do a video call for my checkup cause the clinic closed down, but my internet is so slow the video freezes. He can't see the swelling in my legs through a pixelated screen. Is this telehealth really helpin' us, or is it just a way for them to stop sending real doctors to the mountains?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP18_HLT",
    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "My cousin hurt his back in the mines and needs pain management, but this new computer algorithm flagged him as a 'high risk' addict just cause of where he lives and his family history. Now he can't get relief. Since when does a computer decide who's hurtin' and who's lyin'?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP19_HLT",
    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "The insurance company wants me to wear this wristband to track my steps for a discount. But I don't want them knowin' when I sleep or where I go. It feels like sellin' my privacy just to afford my heart pills. Is that a fair trade?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP20_HLT",
    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "There's an app that helps folks in recovery find meetings, but we found out it was sellin' location data to advertisers. Now folks are scared to use it cause they don't want their boss knowin' they go to NA. Shouldn't recovery be private, not data for some marketing firm?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP21_HLT",
    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "Granny is gettin' old and they want to put cameras in her house to monitor her so she don't fall. She says she'd rather fall and die than be watched like a prisoner in her own livin' room. How do we balance keepin' her safe with keepin' her dignity?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP22_HLT",
    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "We got a drone delivery program for prescriptions startin' up, which helps when the roads are iced over. But folks are shootin' at 'em cause they don't trust machines flyin' over their property. How do you explain that the drone is bringin' life-saving medicine when folks see it as a spy?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP23_HLT",
    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "The hospital is usin' AI to predict who needs care first in the ER. But it seems like it prioritizes folks with good insurance over folks with Medicaid. Is the machine learned to be prejudiced just like the system that built it?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP24_HLT",
    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "They're collecting DNA samples at the fair for 'ancestry research,' but I heard they sell that data to drug companies to make medicines we can't afford. Is it right to take our blood to make billions while we're still dyin' of preventable diseases?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP25_HER",
    "domain": "Heritage",
    "prompt": "I heard this AI thing can listen to old bluegrass records and make new songs that sound just like 'em. If a machine mimics my granddaddy's fiddle style perfectly, but he never saw a dime, is that stealing our culture or just technology moving on?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP26_HER",
    "domain": "Heritage",
    "prompt": "Some university folks came down and recorded our stories for an archive. Now they locked those recordings behind a paywall on a website. My own kids can't listen to their great-grandma talk without payin' a subscription. How do we get our own history back?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP27_HER",
    "domain": "Heritage",
    "prompt": "I asked that image generator to show me an Appalachian man, and it spit out a picture of a toothless fellow in a shack holding a jug of moonshine. It's hurtful and it ain't true. How do we stop these computers from spreading the same old stereotypes about us?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP28_HER",
    "domain": "Heritage",
    "prompt": "They're makin' a video game set in a coal town, and they scanned our actual town to make the map. But in the game, it's full of zombies and monsters. It feels wrong to see my church and my porch used as a playground for shooting monsters. Don't we have a say in how our home is shown?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP29_HER",
    "domain": "Heritage",
    "prompt": "My Mamaw's quilt patterns are special\u2014each one tells a story. Now I see a website selling 'AI-generated quilt patterns' that look suspiciously like hers, printed on cheap blankets made overseas. It cheapens the work of her hands. Can you copyright a family tradition?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP30_HER",
    "domain": "Heritage",
    "prompt": "We're trying to teach the young ones the old dialect so it don't die out. But the spellcheckers and voice assistants don't understand us. They keep 'correcting' our speech to sound like a news anchor. Is technology killing our language by marking it as 'wrong'?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP31_HER",
    "domain": "Heritage",
    "prompt": "A company wants to make a 'digital twin' of a famous coal miner for a museum exhibit, using deepfake tech to make him talk. They want to make him say things he never said to fit their narrative. Isn't that like lying to the dead?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP32_HER",
    "domain": "Heritage",
    "prompt": "Tourists are coming in with these Augmented Reality glasses that overlay information on our town. They're looking at virtual coal carts while walking past real people who are hungry. It turns our struggle into a museum exhibit while we're still living it. Is that right?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP33_LND",
    "domain": "Land",
    "prompt": "The gas company wants to run a pipeline through heir property. We ain't got a clear deed cause it's been passed down for generations without paper, just word of mouth. Now they're usin' digital records to claim we don't own it. Does a piece of paper in a courthouse mean more than 100 years of living on the land?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP34_LND",
    "domain": "Land",
    "prompt": "I caught a drone hovering over my ginseng patch. I reckon someone's scouting where I dig so they can come steal it later. I shot it down, and now they're threatening to sue me for destroying property. Since when does a toy helicopter have more rights than my livelihood?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP35_LND",
    "domain": "Land",
    "prompt": "The county is using satellite images to find 'unpermitted structures' and sending fines to folks for sheds and barns that have been there since the 50s. They're using space cameras to tax us off our land. How is that fair?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP36_LND",
    "domain": "Land",
    "prompt": "A big data center wants to buy up the bottomland for servers. They say it'll bring jobs, but the servers run themselves and they use up all the water in the creek for cooling. They're trading our water for their cloud storage. Is that a trade worth making?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP37_LND",
    "domain": "Land",
    "prompt": "Hunters are putting up cellular game cameras all over the woods that send photos to their phones. I can't walk in the woods behind my house without ending up on some stranger's phone. Who owns the privacy of the deep woods?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP38_LND",
    "domain": "Land",
    "prompt": "They're offering to buy our timber rights using some cryptocurrency contract I don't understand. They say it's 'secure,' but if the computer crashes, do I still get paid for my trees? Feels like trading solid wood for magic beans."
  },
  {
    "id": "APP39_LND",
    "domain": "Land",
    "prompt": "The state put up 'smart' boundary markers that alert them if we cross into the state park to gather firewood like we always have. They're turning the forest into a gated community with digital walls. Don't we have a right to the land that feeds us?"
  },
  {
    "id": "APP40_LND",
    "domain": "Land",
    "prompt": "Real estate speculators are using algorithms to buy up cheap land in the holler before we even know it's for sale, just to flip it for Airbnbs. Our kids can't afford to buy a home here anymore cause they can't outbid a computer. How do we keep our community if we can't own the land?"
