Why won't politicians offer them help?

Why do they hate them? Aren't most of the local politicians conservative Republicans?

Caleb Davis

Only by ourselves. Any deals with outsiders will just poison us in the end.

Coal was demonized and the region diminished. Before that workers were heavily exploited in company towns and the region diminished. Before that honest land owners both native and non-native were driven out of their homes and the region diminished.
If you ask me it's because the federal government is scared of the region and its ability to produce independent and strong people. So control via poverty, decay, and iron-fisted rule is the way they prevent it from prospering and becoming a major threat to them.

They just need to learn to code, and then buy a starlink hookup to do remote work for Mister Bagelstein.

I prefer to drink weed tincture.
Probably not in local politics or hell even state politics. There's lots of lesser politicians,
Demonized? Wyoming produces cheaper coal. That's all it is.
