Why can't this country bring Appalachia up to actual living wages, proper infrastructure, better schools, better medical treatment, and better infrastructure? Why does the federal and state government allow fellow Americans to suffer in this country? This is such a simple problem to solve for our country, and if we do it here we can do it in every place in this country that is living in 3rd world standards.

@tw33k because the world over it’s easy to find someone who will fuck over their peers for personal benefit. The machinery of capitalism knows this intimately, and doesn’t care about anything but profits and growth.

@MookyTroubadour @tw33k: The same things happened in very Communist China and all over the former Eastern Bloc. It's not just a "It's Capitalism" thing. It's a human nature thing.

It also goes way back to the original Thirteen Colonies, and it's not to do entirely about slavery. The North and South were often at each other's throats, much like the North and South of England. It's very "Town vs Country".
