    I’ll say this, it’s one of the most beautiful states as far as nature goes. Going white-water rafting in the fall when the leaves are changing in the New River Gorge was spectacular. But everything else about the state… yeah. I traveled quite extensively there when I financially audited a coal company. It’s honestly just hopeless how poor and uneducated the people are, and how they vote against their own interests every single time, only making their situation more desperate.

      100% this. I live like 4 miles from wv and have spent My whole life traveling through and doing industrial contractor work through every part of that state. The only parts that aren’t absolutely trash are the places people can’t live. We should just exterminate it and turn it into a national park…mother fuckers from there can’t even drive once they cross the line, they are always the ones that are going 10mph under the speed limit because they are confused by roads that aren’t shit.
