west virginia was never good

West Virginians.

separating from Virginia

Niggers

Lack of emphasis on higher education.

There are no niggers in West Virginia.

I recall visiting the state once as a teenager.

Beautiful mountain terrain, but it was ruined by all the billboards on the highway for sex shops (how many of those do you need, ffs?!). Also, it felt like stepping back in time two decades.

You don't have to be Black to be a Nigger.

This Guy.

Pills. No jobs.

too lax incest laws

get out with your meme flag JD is a legend

Great band

true
the back in time two decades is completely accurate, its weird actually, wv is a part of the modern world like everything else but somehow everything is regressed or behind the times

Then it's not ruined yet, dipshit
/thread

Lack of diversity in industry. It was way too focused on single product which was coal. Even if environmental regulation slapped it around a couple times, there's no chance of recovery at this point. Natural gas has gotten so competitive that even a complete deregulation of coal wouldn't stop gas from killing it.

The best chance West Virginia got at this point is to take advantage of its beautiful landscape for tourism. However, the irony is that that requires a revamping of infrastructure which requires excess capital which WV does not have.

A dying coal economy with kike-based propaganda and an education system geared toward churning out manual labor untermensch retards and brainwashing people to be too stubborn to learn to do anything else

Seriously they could learn to code or install wind and solar and thanks to the brainwashing and shitty schools they just live in squalor and won't even accept government help because they're too patriotic.

Republicans are bought by the coal lobby and they would have to vote democrat in order to get any green energy and the dems would immediately import thousands of mexicans who would quickly take those jobs anyway.

Those poor, sweet people. They can't win. If I ever engineer an amazing product that everyone wants to buy and become a billionaire industrialist, that's where I'll put my factory.

West Virginia is my favorite state.

we had higher per capita voting for trump than any other state, something is going right here

West Virginian here

Ask me anything

>no niggers in WV
college campuses

the niggers come out of state to go to college here

What are the girls like in wv?

Because they believe Trump will open up the coal mines.

Is it true that you either mine for coal or join the military right after high school?

they thought that they could just be coal miners forever, they refused to adapt

now we're paying them to pretend to still be coal miners because they still refuse to take any responsibility for refusing to adapt

>won't even accept government help because they're too patriotic.
It's a deep problem for the entirety of the Appalachian area in general. Long history of the government screwing over locals in the area at least till maybe the 1930s.

This

>A dying coal economy
Just how extreme was this? Are we talking 90% of the total economy evaporating?

Pretty much like any where else. Hot suburban or rural girls with good conservative values. Then you have white trash, like the rural version of hoodrats

Coal isnt very common anymore, but military is pretty common.

With that aside, you either go to WVU, Shepherd, Marshall, or work some shitty job at a small plant or factory

This

Yeah, its a HUGE drop but some people still are insistent that it can be revived

How hard is it to buy a house in full and just live as a neet off of savings and investments in w Virginia?

Do you do drugs?

Yes. Many towns in WV literally only exist because of a mine. If that mine closes it's all ogre.

...

Houses are fairly cheap, all depends on the area.

Being a neet would be pretty difficult though

No, i work for the federal govt

but i know many people who have overdosed and died from heroin, or are hooked on it

Would they go for a guy from New York City?

Where in WV do you live?

less shitskins = not ruined

I can't get over how many fucking trailers are in West Virginia. I thought it was just a mildly accurate meme, but Jesus it's spot-on. It's rare to see a house in that state outside of major cities.

Bill Clinton is from Arkansas

White people

Another West Virginian here accepting questions or just whatever

Yeah, lots of jersey and nyc dudes at WVU have good luck

North central, from the eastern part originally

Also from North Central, what county are in?

This. If they hadn't left they would have been tied to glorious commonwealth and its huge economy and sea access.

Instead they left and became totally dependent on mineral wealth.

And then Congress, in its wisdom, decided to allow Big Pharma to ship enough addictive pain pills into West Virginia to allow every man woman and child to have 5 pills a day for an entire year.

Corrupt government, corrupt business hand in hand.
Currently there is a huge chemical fire in a nearby city. Dupont is covering it up HARD. Lots of people getting sick. A friend of mine barely made it home from work yesterday, he has to go to the hospital today. They lied about everything, over and over. First it was non toxic, just plastic than they closed the schools down. Now suddenly its toxic, after thousands have been exposed. My friend went home puking, shivering and dizzy.

Well I know coal is still pretty big but I assume it was undercut by mines out west. Or did the mines run out?

There was at least enough being shipped to make this which is about coal being shipped from WV.

Every user should watch this shit. DRAIN THE SWAMP!

How many of your first cousins have you impregnated? How many limbs/eyes were you born with? How many lumps of coal can you fit in your rump?

The mines are fine, the demand and pricing is the main problem

A good example of corrupt business is massey coal. Back a long time ago, under one of its many names, it would buy out land so car companies and manufacturers couldn't buy it. Also lobbied the government to make it harder for them to move in the state. Coal COST wv jobs so it could have a stranglehold on the workforce.

West Virginian reporting in. I fled a socialist hell hole city for this state and never looked back. You can have your fucking shopping malls and niggers, I'll take my unrestricted second amendment rights and sanity.

whered you move to famalam?

They don't allow weed. Marijuana could bring in much needed tourism dollars.

>whitest state in the union
>also one of the poorest and shittiest

REALLY makes you think

This, there are plenty of mines and plenty of people willing to work them. Demand is just a fraction of what it used to be and the entire state refuses to accept this. Every politician has to base there campaign around being a "friend of coal" or lose the election

I've got family in Germany Valley. Comfy as all fuck, if you have a job. My great-uncle was a truck driver, so he always had work. I really wouldn't mind finding someone like pic related and teaching Latin at some high school or college there with 9 kids at home. Maybe some day.
Shit meme. Go to the islamic world if you want to see inbreeding.

not willing to get that specific, but i enjoy my life here way more than i did before. once you've tasted the nigger free life, you'll never go back.

also, other underrated places include montana, wyoming, and idaho.

Yeah unfortunately. Although medical just got passed.

Too many state politcians larp as conservative while my dad has smoked weed with one of the well known conservative politicians back in the day

I doubt demand is an issue since the only competitor to coal is nuclear and coal is still huge. It must be the massive coal strip mines.

There may be some demand for coal in the future but it doesn't look like any time soon.

an entertaining answer to your question can be found in the documentary "the wild and wonderful whites of west virginia." basically the whole town shorted on the coal boom and set up shop around that. the coal mines ran their lives. they basically shopped at stores owned by the mining company, lived in houses owned by the mining company, and whatever spare income they had they spent on booze and drugs, because what the fuck else is there to do in west virginia? now that mines started to close they resort to drug dealing and odd jobs and just being poor. it sucks, in my opinion, because it's actually quite a beautiful state, with some of the ugliest people on the planet.

also, about weed: it may be illegal, but there is zero real enforcement of those laws. i've never once heard of a weed dealer being bothered by the cops. ever.

White people.

Are there any leftists in WV?

>"Aren't you a hardworking, patriotic American citizen?"
>"Yep"
>"And these are your tax dollars"
>"Yup"
>"I want to give government assistance to a hardworking, patriotic American citizen instead of a lazy nigger or mexican that doesn't work."
>"Makes sense to me"
>"Then take the government assistance"
>"But that's not hardworking or patriotic"
>"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

lol then go to the eastern panhandle or morgantown

Yeah, even communist idiots

fuck no lol

They want jobs not to become niggers entrapped by welfare and intergenerational poverty

That sounds like some of the mining towns out west
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butte,_Montana

In Charleston there are some

one example of a commie who isnt ironic

twitter rabblerouser304

you have to be joking about morgantown. unless you're literally retarded, it's impossible to get busted up there. ive smoked shit on people's porches after a wvu game lmfao

Send some here will ya? There are almost no real whites here

It was all the coal mines closing. Do you all even history?

you said weed dealer, not smoker

yeah like 6 of them, and they're all sucking each other's dick on the east end.

like i said, ive never heard of it happening, and word tends to spread pretty fast around here.

Is there a difference?

Why won't you rejoin Virginia faggot?

In the colleges and low level government positions. The state voted 76% trump.

landlocked, mountainous, small
better economic opportunities in Virginia suck up all the talent
largest city is like 50k people
industry had/has a stranglehold on state government, and then said industry declined

I'm a senior and the young democraps has a huge club and we also had these queers draw all over the front of the school. The "gay straight alliance"

same thing that ruins a lot of rural communities that would otherwise be comfy....meth and heroin

Collapsing demand for coal as well as collapsing coal prices because natural gas is cheaper due to the shale boom.

And also its a shite place because low population so nothing akin to tech industry there because no metropolitan areas and low education.

what major?

they just like to make noise. trust me, theyll leave for the east coast and get consumed soon enough.

>turn blind eye to coal towns
>let coal towns filled with corruption decentralize everything
>never invest in anything else
>State too mountainous grow large farms
>wrecked in the winter due to snow buffering for virginia
>roads hard to navigate direct routes in

Don’t they mine for non coal things too?

>natural gas is cheaper due to the shale boom.
I could be wrong but I think that mostly applies to peaker plants.

>so nothing akin to tech industry there because no metropolitan areas and low education.

WVU seems decent but there's almost nothing for the grads to do locally, so they ship out

Why? Western states and flyovers do it for cheaper, shoveling and building on flat lands to mine is tons easier.

I totally get that. I'm a dishwasher and I collect food stamps. I feel bad about it and I'd prefer to buy my own food, but I work hard

But in the meantime, holy shit feed your family because the country can damn sure afford it.

Waiting for some Scandinavians to show up and start mocking us any second.

Coal is far more plentiful but yes. We have iron, gypsum and limestone mines in my area.

Basically. pic related.

WV had a strict vote democrat or else they burn your house down, smash your car up, and shot your dog police force.

Then the democrats started shutting down competitors in the energy import schemes by imposing insane restrictions on coal mines after allowing disaster and crime by the coal companies to go on for ages.

Then finally, the drugs. the democrats love pushing drugs in low income areas.


>niggers

nigs were never a big problem until obama gave detroit and chicago nigs free houses in huntington and charelston and beckley so they could move heroin for the government. and here we are today,

a big issue is that the coal in Wyoming is lower in sulfur, making it easier to burn and comply with regs

>trust me, theyll leave for the east coast and get consumed soon enough.

North Carolina is as far as they make it usually, then they get shot by a nig in a drug deal gone bad or just because they are stupid democrats that want to prove they arent racist.
