I want that reporter to go back to that county and ask the residents "what has improved since Trump won the election?"
-
u know it's bad when Walmart leaves....
-
Hope this 92 year old man is still around, amazing feat to make it to that age and still be fully intact physically but most importantly mentally
-
“I voted for that black guy two times” as a black guy I laughed WAY too hard at that😂😂😂
-
“Politicians are politicians. They make promises, and never keep ‘em” Wise man there.
-
Giving false hope to those who are so desperate to survive and care for their families is one of the cruelest things you can do.
-
Something I have learned from watching my grandparents and parents struggle financially their entire lives is that you can never put your faith in somebody else to help get you out of poverty. You've gotta take actions and risks and sometimes they pay off and sometimes they don't but at the end of the day, all you have to rely on is yourself.
-
If they were poor then can you imagine how poor they are now with $5.00 gas, unaffordable housing and skyrocketing groceries, taxes and inflation.
-
Current politics don't explain the state of southwestern WV. These town have been drying up since the 1940-50s. Instead of blaming trump or Obama you have to look deep into Appalachian coal history.
-
You know shit is bad when walmart closes down.
-
These are the people most dependent on social services but continue to vote against their interest.
-
It's now January 2022 and it really would be amazing to have a follow-up with these folks. I can't help but wonder how they're doing...and how they feel about Joe Manchin.
-
We need a follow up on this story.
-
That guy is 92? He looks great for his age, wow.
-
The amount of cognitive dissonance these people have most likely had to apply after the 2020 election is just insane
-
I am so impressed with the robust health of that 92-year-old. What a symbol of what it means to be American. He's been doing the same routine for probably More than 70 years. Wakes up, goes across the street, helps people. Although according to him there's not many people to help anymore these days but that's a different story..
-
This whole town was a coal-company construct. When coal was done, the company left and the town dried up.
-
Go back today n interview this people
-
Old Donnie donning that coal miner helmet makes me think of Herschel Walker flashing that dime store Lone Ranger badge.....😆😂😂
