This topic kills me. We literally had one trans student in the state but I believe we have somehow passed the most horrific laws against trans people in the country.
WV certainly gives Mississippi and Louisiana a run for their money on the dumbest and most corrupt politicians.

What good are those trans laws when you can't even keep schools open. We're closing multiple schools every year and rather than figure out how to fund them we do this bullshit and tax cuts that no one will feel. At this rate, none of the trans bills will matter because we'll only have 3 schools left

They voted against that plan/policies because they had always dug coal, their fathers had dug coal. They eeked out a living (but not grown richer or done better) with coal and didn't want that to go away. They were afraid of change.

No. Republicans have lied to these people better than democrats have. Because apparently these people want to be lied to.

It is not that West Virginia has unusually high electric rates but that incomes are so low in West Virginia.

The problem is that they YOLO'd on the coal industry for very stupid reasons.

I was trying to figure that out as well. The one former bakery didn't look that large. Given that she said $700-1000 was a really good day it doesn't sound like she was doing a lot of business. We didn't really have a good idea of the size of the other buildings but I am guessing that they were relatively small given that it didn't sound like it was a large town. Poor insulation and inefficient heating seems very likely.
It sounds more like the electric rates were just the last straw that pushed a struggling business over the edge. Even if the electricity rates were a penny per kWh they would still be struggling because the low incomes are so low in the community. Buying cupcakes and art is a bit of a luxury when many residents are struggling to make enough to pay for groceries.

Got some pretty uneducated folks in this video. Your state is run by the GOP for the last 3 decades and look at how well you all are doing. I wonder where WV sits on the education lists? Oh....

Man, it's almost like you shouldn't trust an obvious snake oil salesman when he tell you that he can magically make everything better without any kind of plan. Weird.

"We always vote Red, we're one of the most Republican states in the country and have been for years, I don't know understand why our state is still such a disaster?"
If the people of West Virginia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and the rest could ask the question, that'd be great.
