re: #347 A Mom Anon

It’s interesting how the rich never seem to settle near any of this shit, ain’t it? There are little towns all over that part of the country that are dealing with what’s essentially a toxic waste dump. It’s not only mining (though I have no doubt they are the largest offenders), it’s abandoned factories that never cleaned up their waste that is still sitting there after decades, pipes eroding in towns where the infrastructure was never cared for from the day it was installed, and on and on.

Remember 300,000+ people in West Virginia being unable to bathe or drink their tap water due to a mine tailing spill? From a tailing pond dam that had not been inspected for years?
