Born and grew up here. Moved away for 20 years. Came back for family reasons. Sadly the whole county is a ghost town. Coal from McDowell county helped build the country. Now there's nothing driving to Mercer county is like going to another state. The state of WV needs to help but I think it's to late. You could make a zombie apocalypse movie here and not have to build sets we are nothing but a county of ghost towns after dark there's nothing you hardly see any people looks like the apocalypse hit year's ago.
With so many people looking for freedom and working from home, here's what I'd push for if I were Governor. I'd make 1 Gig internet a top priority, I'd eliminate all property tax so people would finally have a state where they can actually OWN their own homes and pass down generational wealth to their children, I'd return to the Constitution and make gold and silver legal tender in West Virginia. I'd also push for a crypto friendly state to attract more young people. This would bring a flood of new residents, businesses and money into West Virginia, I'd move there myself!
It saddens me how folks don't even realize how poor this county is.
Only Pine Ridge South Dakota is more deprived.
We are poor but I always know there are others in far more desperate circumstances.
Helping people become self reliant makes so much sense
Build gardens for poor towns
Prayers for all struggling
However, she seems judgemental.
She is living in the past. Not the reality of the present.
