West VA used to be one of the most democratic states in the union, now they're the opposite, they underwent zero demographic changes also.

I feel very fortunate for him to have lived during my lifetime. I hope me sources are wrong and he's still alive. 7 hours ago, mikeman said: So the bottom line is Runny started a thread about Jimmy carter dying(heard from trusted sources), and he's not dead. Nazi Merlin, read my post again. Your are always posting incorrect and wrong information. I actually said a source said he may have passed. Then I said I hope the source is wrong and the great Jimmy Carter is still alive. Nazi Merlin is a big drama queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dems failed massively on that and for sure are failing now with fentanyl. Another ding against them for ever getting West Virginia votes again.

mikeman Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 A little known fact about west va is that there's a 13000 sq mile area of it that does not have cell phones and will never have cell phones, no wi fi, not even garage door openers. it's like the Twilight zone, thousands of people live their lives like we did before 1990. https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/a11414/why-this-west-virginia-town-has-no-cellphones-17320315/ Why This West Virginia Town Has No Cellphones Almost silent / West Virginia / Blue Ridge Mountains / throw your cellphone in the river.

The U.S. Town With No Cell Phones or Wi-Fi | National Geographic Watch on "Some people, they'll come here, they'll say 'What do you do?' I just say, 'I'm doing it right now.'" That's Artie Barkley, a local resident featured in this National Geographic video about the National Radio Quiet Zone, extolling the virtues of one of the most peculiar and peaceful places in America. Pocahontas County in West Virginia is home to the Green Bank Telescope, a marvelous piece of machinery that surveys the skies for radio signals from across the universe. But the telescope, built in 1956, is so sensitive that any local radio signals could interfere with its mission. "A cellphone on Mars would be the brightest radio object to us in the sky," one of the scientists in the video notes. More From Popular Mechanics How Millions of Pliers Are Made Every Year Current Time 0:17 Remaining Time -4:08 As a result, Congress created the National Radio Quiet Zone, an area of 13,000 square miles around the telescope. In the towns nearby, such as Green Bank, residents go without any kind of wireless technology. That includes cordless phones, cellphones, wi-fi routers—even digital cameras and garage door openers. As the video notes, the zone is something that could never be created today—you'd have a hard time talking anyone, even a card-carrying luddite, into giving up all this stuff. But because the Quiet Zone was established decades ago, the folks who live here just never adopted wireless modern conveniences and got used to living without them. (They have hardwired Internet in their homes.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmcarroll33 Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Dopesick on Hulu was an awesome series about WVU and opiods. I remember the end where the lawyers were blasting Purdue pharma and saying that Oxy was supposed to be for extreme levels of chronic pain, not people that had just had their wisdom teeth removed and I laughed. They gave me Oxycodone for that and I had no pain at all. My mom told me take one like like the prescription said and another before bed like the prescription said. Needless to say I was in the drunkest hangover dream sleep of my life until 4pm the next afternoon until my brothers friend came over and kicked my bed. I probably could have slept 4 more hours. That stuff is poison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same active ingredient, but OC is time released making addiction potential even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Purdue Pharma was inventing bs science of "breakthrough pain" to explain why people were in pain when they came off of it, just to keep them hooked. "Just double the dose." I took those 2 Oxycodone with my wisdom teeth and threw the rest of it in the trash. Would never want to take another one of those things ever again.
