ZitoSalena @ZitoSalena - The planners’ goal was not simply to provide homes. They hoped to create a self-sustaining community economy outside the private coal market.
That goal proved difficult to achieve.
Arthurdale’s rural setting, limited local markets, small workforce, and distance from larger commercial centers made it hard for the cooperative businesses and cottage industries to succeed. The community never developed the durable economic base that its architects envisioned.
That failure has produced two competing interpretations of Arthurdale.
To critics, it was an expensive example of the limits of federal planning. The government exercised considerable influence over community life, the settlement required continued public support, and the local economy did not become self-sustaining.

ZitoSalena @ZitoSalena - Done right this is an industry that won't just remake blue-collar workers lives, it will also remake communities that have been on their knees for 40 years.
Always be curious. Always be skeptical. If something does a 180 & politicians are suddenly demonizing it in a short period time you have to ask yourself why? As I said yesterday, there's always bad actors in everything we do. But an entire industry?
We have all seen this playbook before.

You think this is the only CCP bot farm? Any idea how many Iranian/Pakistani/Russian active bot farms currently exist on here and other platforms?
