Very true. TVA, Fort Campbell, Lake Barkley, LBL,Oak Ridge, etc. The feds with help of the general assembly has generosity given away Tennessee farmers land for peanuts and manufactured I’ll will towards the government for generations.
Our family got taken when Fort Campbell was formed. Three farms were removed from our family tree on both sides.
Pennies on the dollar.
Eminent domain in the hands of crooks is as much thief as a gun in the hands of a robber
But the use a pen.
The TVA was mostly for water needed at Oak Ridge to enrich uranium and build nukes.
Rural electricity was a cover.
