Just over the 1hr mark but you can skip to different segments and not lose much.
A really interesting piece consisting of an independent journalist interviewing locals on the issues facing Appalachia.
A region tied to coal in a increasingly green world. My take-away was that their favor of coal is more so tied to their favor of their community (which historically has been defined by the industry).
Some of the locals were pretty gross, blaming other people in their same situation for not having enough “work ethic” instead of looking at the actual causes.
Appalachia is pretty poor, but it’s nothing like the reservations that, if they ever had industry, the locals never saw a nickle of.
The guy in the post is closely tied with this channel. (Can’t find confirmation of this). The main guy on it has left a nice paper trail of his sexual tourism exploits, as outlined in this reddit post. (Bald and Beautiful is, however, a huge piece of shit)
I should probably stress this: HE IS JUST ASSOCIATED WITH BALD. As far as I know there aren’t receipts for Peter. It’s just that he still works closely with Bald that I am apprehensive to take this guy seriously
