Knowing my relatives (they are still living in the area) they probably heard "Go Away" quite a bit.
Screw the poor in America. We need to give hundreds of billions more to foreign aid, Ukraine etc...
Some yankee acting like he’s all that.
WEST “BY GAWD” VIRGINIA!
These people are mostly ancestral Scots and Irish. They are GOOD people. And they do not deserve the bad deal they get from state ,local and federal governments. All they want is work. They detest the Dem plantation.
They did benefit under Trump and it is my fondest wish that they will so benefit once again.
Trumps mother was from the Isle of Lewis, a genuine Scot. There is a reason Trump makes sure to help them out via policy that brings an upswing in their economy.
Do they VOTE for DEMOCRATS?
Yes, great documentary.
I can see those places coming back now that you can work remote. Beautiful country, cheap housing, traditional values...
A big developer could buy a big chunk of a town dirt cheap, cleaning thing up and turning things around... and making a bundle. Especially with some state and/or federal tax incentives.
Lots of people are getting sick and tired of living in big city hell holes.
Thank you for posting this.
Watching it now. It’s well-done.
We have a right to sit in aqualor or poverty rather than leaving for work. Welfare encourages us to lose ambition toward a better future if we can almost scrape by on not trying much more.
They are free, and not stupid. But welfare is like a light narcotic, and social security helps on top, though earned as promised.
Hispanics get crap...so they move here. We stay in place.
I bet they could transform these regions in under 10 years.
Lots of poor folks, poor places, and poor economic times, for all kinds of people.
Poor doesn’t mean Crackhead, Methhead, pregnant at 12 yo, murdering rapist POS, all black, all white, or any other color.
When Poverty gets into your Soul, that’s when lives get destroyed.
And it ain’t Goobermint to the rescue.
The Shining City on the hill was supposed to be the Brite Shining example for other countries to emulate. People to look to for hope and guidance.
Folks need that personal example once again.
We used to get it from family, school, broad cultural teachings, or that old tattered book inspired by an outcast Jewish Carpenter.
“This is how you do it”.
Written down, and passed down for all to see.
Just watch out for the Charlatans. They are all about.
bkmk
But I give him credit for even knowing about it. 🙂
This is the first episode from 8 days ago:
Those last two young men were very good.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the link. There was a time when everything the left knew about rural America they learned from the film “Deliverance.” This documentary is vastly more accurate. Good people. This is the America that Biden despises.
Ran into a group of teens on Sat from Worthington, MN who were heading to NE Kentucky on a mission trip to help build and fix up homes.
