[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What explains the conservatism of WVa? That was a good question. If ever a group could be helped by education, health care, and job training, it would be the West Virginians. But yet, they are among the most conservative voters these days. What's up with that?[/quote]

Yep.  I'm the one with a second home here, and I agree.  It's amazing to behold.  I'm a 90 minute drive to our DC rowhome right now and might as well be in another country.  Recently there was a $1 million home liisting here that sold right away, then before you knew it it was back on the market -- the buyers discovered that there was no way to get internet!  Yet, the locals consistently vote against anybody supporting any government spending programs that could be life-changing for them.

And, yes, many flatly refuse to get vaccinated.

I'll take DC's liberalism any day of the week.[/quote]

Why won't west Virginians get vaxxed?  Do they think the virus stops at the WV border?[/quote]

Good question.

I've been soliciting bids for some roof work.  A guy showed up the other day who could barely walk up my front steps (and there are only four of them) without getting winded.  Said he just got over a month-long bout with covid that he thought was going to kill him.  Had been hospitalized.  Forty years old, thin, no underlying health conditions, not vaccinated.  Crazy.
