That includes West Virginians or any other people. You see it on here too often. Fact is West Virginia's history is one of economic exploitation by outside corporations. Just once I'd like to see one of these mega billionaires invest in West Virginia or Detroit or other places that could be revived.

I've driven through WV on my way to DC and it is beautiful, as is most of Appalachia.
