Just over the 1hr mark but you can skip to different segments and not lose much.

A really interesting piece consisting of an independent journalist interviewing locals on the issues facing Appalachia.

A region tied to coal in a increasingly green world. My take-away was that their favor of coal is more so tied to their favor of their community (which historically has been defined by the industry).

Some of the locals were pretty gross, blaming other people in their same situation for not having enough "work ethic" instead of looking at the actual causes.

Appalachia is pretty poor, but it's nothing like the reservations that, if they ever had industry, the locals never saw a nickle of.

This is America. You get the poor to fight the poor so the upper class can keep their yachts.

Cool guy. Solid content he makes. I also recommend Dime Store Adventures.

~~He's too closely tied to Bald and Baldr for me to trust him to be a good person~~

edit: can't seem to find sources for his ties to Bald and Bankrupt so I may have just spread misinformation my b

~~The guy in the post is closely tied with this channel~~. (Can't find confirmation of this). The main guy on it has left a nice paper trail of his sexual tourism exploits, as outlined in this reddit post. (Bald and Beautiful is, however, a huge piece of shit)

How are they related?

The bald and bankrupt guy does seem like he's a bit... Idk. I guess sex tourist makes sense lol.

Well that fucking sucks, really liked his videos.

[–] Nutteman@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I should probably stress this: HE IS JUST ASSOCIATED WITH BALD. As far as I know there aren't receipts for Peter. It's just that he still works closely with Bald that I am apprehensive to take this guy seriously

How are they closely tied? I haven't seen all of Peter's videos but this is the first I've heard of the other dude.

[–] Nutteman@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I'm trying to find some links but I'm starting to wonder if I've mixed the guy up with someone else.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Peter or dime store adventures? Peter, I could see, he's also a bit right winged I think.
