You do realize that Appalachia gets a ton of Federal aid. The official region covers a broad swath ranging from New York to the deep south.

It doesn't. The RIAA equalization curve guarantees that. This is just audiophools throwing money on a passion based on nothing but blind faith.

That's exactly what it is. There's no point in sugar coating it with the presumption of that they're trying to help out the little guy. This is all part of the orchestrated plan by the elites to create an oversupply of labor with foreign workers and drive wages down. Their proximity to Vancouver makes this a slam dunk for Microsoft.

What Uber is doing in these markets is illegal but the demand from consumers using their services shows the current system does not support competitive pricing.

Don't forget the big one: The quality of news articles mostly sucks. Most news publishers are failures at providing good news stories. Aggregators separate the wheat from a larger pool of chaff.
