Was speaking to a co-worker about this about a month before the election. He was a "hired gun" contracted by the owner for the duration of the project we were on. He was a native Iowan, who grew up in his words, "a hundred miles away from shit in every direction." He left Iowa and settled in Frisco, TX around 1980. He said there were less than 10,000 people there. Frisco just crossed the 220,000 threshold. He hates it, and said the long time Texans he knows hate it as well for two reasons: one, is they realize that eventually, the population growth will make everything more expensive, just like every other populous area where there is a demand to live and work. Two, was that the newcomers are largely not conservative voters, and are changing the politics in Texas as well.
This is the same game corporations have been playing for a long time. When workers in places like Paterson, NJ unionized, the companies packed up and went to Alabama, where there was little union presence. When it was feasible, they moved the plants to Mexico, and shortly after to China.
The right always celebrates the race to the bottom as a validation of their beliefs.
It's depressing that the connection of two threads one the same forum, one complaining about the rampant homelessness in the richest country in the world and another about corporations running away to get out of paying good wages and taxes and avoiding any pesky health and environmental laws that get in the way of their greed is lost in the shuffle...

In the county where I live in , in NC, approximately 35% of residents are now transplants from mostly the NE.
They left to get away from the brutal winters, crime, corruption, high taxes, poor schools, bad roads, etc.
All ya have to do is ask one of em why they came to the south, and the list comes pouring out of their mouths.
Down here, if your wife has car trouble and is on the side of the road, there are maybe 6-7 cars pulled over to help her.
My wife has personally experienced this when her tire went flat.. In fact, one of the men, called me to inform me what happened, and that she was being helped.
It's like a different world down here from Chicago.

This popped up as a suggested article today...part of it details drilling geothermal in areas not usually thought of as suitable.
Do a land impact study, to preserve the environment in WV. Train and prioritize jobs for the workers in WV. Help those folks out with good jobs that aren't fossil fuel based.
Jobs for the local people. Environment protected so deer population thrives. Everyone bags their take limit every year. Win-win-win, mfers.

Geothermal energy, the forgotten renewable, has finally arrived
To power a climate constrained world, solar and wind energy won't be enough. Geothermal energy is finally getting a second chance.

I honestly think that your entire state is ripe for the smaller uses of it.
Low Temperature & Coproduced Resources
GTO showcases innovative technologies that advance energy use and electricity production via underutilized low temperature resources.
That one strip could be used for commercial production, but basically your whole state seems to have enough heat energy beneath it that it could probably be used in a home application.
If you don't mind sharing what part of WV are you in again?

I love the idea of living over in that part of the world, but too many people and damn, too much hot humid buggy weather. I would have to only live there in spring and fall.

Take a look at the size of New Mexico on the map sometime... We have 2 million people jus sayin.
I imagine fall there is damn near perfect weather. It is nice here too in the fall, but you have to hit the bosque or drive a bit to really get the cool fall colors.... Watching the Aspens change over is outta sight beautiful.
