    Funny how when the government needs a new road or dump it’s “We have to eminent domain your private property for the good of the community.”

    But when a business is destroying a community, the government is, “Our hands are tied, it’s private property.”

      New road or dump? Try new stadium… oh and here’s the bill for the toxic waste removal that you wouldn’t have had to do if we didn’t build a stadium on your house.

      Homeslice needs to do a bit of research. Go solar, then trash his local grid.

    The last couple minutes of the video are so disheartening. To think that they are living through and dying because of the policies of the current administration yet still give their support. Even when they are shown how the president is directly profiting off of their misery, they still are fine with it.

    The cognitive dissonance is insane.

      It really drives home how much of a benefit it is to them to keep the population stupid and cause as much chaos as possible with education, or eliminate it in any place they can.

    People who live next to a freeway or major arterial often get relief because walls get built to deflect the continual noise away from housing.

    These people need to organize and demand relief. That mine needs to be inside insulated walls… or moved WAY out of town. 300MW? I guess they can afford it.

      The company needs to buy out any landowner within earshot for 3x the value that their house was worth before the mine moved in.
