Can Appalachia be saved or is it doomed to desperate poverty?
Will the rusted out trailers ever get removed? Will politicians ever help? Will the locals accept the help?

Appalachia is the perfect environment. The fact that’s it’s considered poverty is indicative of the artificiality of our whole economic model.
Landon Thomas
Perfect environment for what?
Artificial how?
Kayden Ortiz
Perfect environment for a natural life in bucolic nature vs the need to have concrete and steel and bleak weather to be considered an economic success.
Landon Adams
I don't know user. I considered moving there for the cheap land and beautiful nature but I am worried about being targeted by the locals. And by locals I mean the drug addicts, hillbilly types, though I know that most are not like that.
Robert Nelson
So basically a fallacious appeal to nature?
You realize some parts of appalachia are really industrialized? Strip mines, oil and gas wells, pipelines, pressurization and fractionation plants, coal mines, coal tipples, railroads, highways, bridges, etc.
It's not pre-historic....
>bleak weather
in winter yeah but mid march-mid november its breddy nice
Landon Bailey
Targeted how exactly?

Matthew Scott
Respect the hillbilly boom sticks and bring meat and whiskey when meeting the neighbors
Chase Adams
>really industrialized
Not in comparison to the north east and anywhere else that isn’t “impoverished”.
Zachary Clark
Checked. Why is Appalachia poor?
Xavier Price
LEAVE APPALACHIA ALONE. Appalachia must remain poor and free.
Jacob Perez
I don't believe in good or bad. I'm not a moralist. It just is and you can still evaluate it without assigning a dualistic label.
what county/state are you in?
Juan Long
Kino lifestyle of a patricians patrician.
John King
This.
We don't NEED saving.
Everyone can fuck right off.
Stay out of our mountains.

Is it really necessary for parking lots to make up 70% of american city areas?
William Sullivan
I am paranoid about being murdered brutally in my home because I grew up in a third world country where being raped and then tortured to death is fairly common. The persons committing these crimes are often not even high on drugs, they do it for funsies. I am terrified of what an actually mid tier or higher intelligent, high on meth person could do.
Hillbilly isn't bad, I assume they are a bit territorial though. Don't know how accepting they are of outsiders. That and there's lots of places for a kid to get lost.
Ryan Miller
>Will the rusted out trailers ever get removed?
Yeah eventually.
>Will politicians ever help?
Absolutely fucking not.
>Will the locals accept the help?
Depends on the lot owner but largely yes. Look at how many of them sold their land rights to the nat gas. companies when fracking came around.
Blake Murphy
>Yeah eventually.
u sure about that? there's a lot of them...

I like this thread. To the user that mentioned it earlier, strip mining does not equal developed or good. You can go to many mountains near me
Dominic Lewis
Noah Cook
up in Wetzel and Marshall counties where they’ve blasted the mountaincaps clean off and spraypainted these ugly stumps green. No biodiversity for thousands of years
Daniel Watson
I didn't say good but strip mining is not exactly just undisturbed nature as user was claiming.
>near me
which county/state?
Brody Ward
Nah worst the pillbillies will do is steal your lawnmower when you are at work.
David Gutierrez
Hilbillies are incredibly misrepresented by the media. They want the government out of their lives so they can get drunk and have firearms. They present no damage to you. In fact, they can be some of the greatest people you’ve ever met. Crime they do commit stems from meth or the opiod epidemic, but it’s petty stuff like property crime. Any violence is mutual. I would much rather spend time in a small West Virginian town than any inner city in the country where you can be the victim of a violent crime for looking as if you have money
Chase Scott
Look at this picture, it's the perfect example of media jew trying to portray rural childhoods as depressing and lifeless.
Even the bike is not parked properly!
Look how old that house is, bet they don't even have access to information about people they will never see in real life or places they don't give a fuck about, they probably didn't even heard the things their politicians said yesterday! How sad is that...
Someone give them iPhone so they can atleast stop staring at the camera while sitting in middle of street!!! it makes me cry
Ian Turner
By "eventually" I mean "Likely several generations from now".
Ian King
>t. grew up in a rural area where occasionally someone would take a trailer or vehicle from someone else and get caught by the police(who knew exactly who had a pattern of causing trouble) while since moving to a city for work I have been the victim of two violent crimes and get accosted any time into “the wrong area”, contrary to popular belief if any of those people walked down the one street in my town no one would bother them or bat an eye
