I know plenty about McDowell county. Decades of corruption and malfeasance leads to their current situation. Why doesn't someone ask the question, "why is it Mingo and McDowell counties are so destitute yet surrounding counties are not?". We know why. Stay out of these hell-holes.

More specifically harlan, clay, owsley, mccreary counties KY (all these places mined coal, and were automated, and now have drug problems) Some counties beat others in stats, mcdowell #1 in lowest life expectancy+overdoses whereas others have lower incomes, and are more rural/rundown
@@Roadtripmik It's the CORRUPTION which has been part of these 2 counties for generations which sets them apart. You obviously know nothing of their history.
