I know a few people from WV and all I hear them talk about when they talk about WV is how everyone they know that is still there is hooked on one drug or another drug.

My favorite podcasters are from Huntington, one of whom still lives there, and they do an annual drive for addiction care for the holidays. At least they're trying, but yeah it seems pretty hopeless.

I got cross-leveled to an Army Reserve unit from WV to deploy to Afghanistan. I had a whole year to get acquainted with the social maladies of West Virginians. My girlfriend's parents live there now, but they're transplants from Virginia who moved there for the affordable mansions and conservative politics. Her dad is building a factory there, but is having a hard time finding people who can pass a drug test.

Every single story that I've read about WV talks about the outside employer who comes in to suck up all that cheap labor but can't find employees who can pass a drug test. It's almost a trope by now.

So you know how for years you'd get far-left people screaming about how Madeleine Albright and Clinton were war criminals for enforcing the UN Sanctions against Saddam Hussein and Iraq because it resulted in half a million children dying? Well turns out Saddam was full of poo poo and was doctoring child mortality reports to garner sympathy in hopes of getting the sanctions lifted as well as giving the West a black eye. Saddam Hussein said sanctions killed 500,000 children. That was “a spectacular lie.” Though the other side of the coin is that U.S. claims that the invasion and lifting of sanctions improved child mortality are false. The invasion and subsequent events have caused the mortality rate to get worse. all around.

They have a ton of podcasts, as they got on it when podcasting was new, like 2007(?). Griffin is great on his own, him and Justin do a bunch of stuff for Polygon. Just watch the Polygon YouTube channel for it. And the TV show is nothing like the podcast which is kinda disappointing because I listen to them to answer the question of ”what would it sound like if I worked at NPR with my dumb friends?"

They cant find enough staff to pass drug tests and then the ones they do hire are incapable of doing the job

I grew up in WV and lived in Huntington for about 17 years before moving out of state. Worked with Griffin too for a year or so. He and his brother Justin are some of the finest people you'll ever meet, but I didn't see Travis that much if at all. Huntington is everything you hear from news reports, and yes the mayor carries Narcan in his pocket. Huntington has also come a long way in the last decade. The core of the city has been revitalized, and they've developed/are developing a corridor between that and Marshall University campus to tie together the two biggest economic regions of the city. They're also attempting to develop the main route into downtown, Hal Greer Blvd. Part of this has been controversial as it's involved relocating families that live in WW2-era project housing along the route and demolishing the old buildings. As a side project, the city has also been aggressively demolishing vacant buildings. On the health front, they've been slowly connecting the entire city through a series of running/biking paths, named after a resident doctor or professor (I can't remember) that died on 9/11. Ritter Park on the south side is one of the nicest parks I've ever been in, and has a wonderful mile-long track around the perimeter. They recently won $3 million dollars as part of the "America's best communities" competition, which will be used (IIRC) to develop some former brownfield areas along the riverfront. I've lived in Charlotte for about two years now, and if anything it's like Huntington, just bigger.

The obvious get in the Trump-Russia party is on thinner and thinner icequote:Buried in a long story on CNN Thursday recapping the current state of play in the Russia investigation was a reminder that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who is largely out of the spotlight at the moment, may not be for long. Manafort, who had spent years on the political fringes helping dictators and strongmen get elected around the world and then lobbying on their behalf in Washington, came out of nowhere to join the Trump campaign, and then take over the reins when Cory Lewandowski was fired in June 2016. By that time, unusual communications between the Trump campaign and Russian officials had pinged on U.S. intelligence agencies’ radar. As did Trump’s new right hand man.
