>one of the lowest crime rates
And nobody said poverty was the only factor that creates crime. There's so many factors that create crime that poor areas can still be relatively safe, they would just be more violent than an otherwise equivalent, richer area.

no, it's not.

The appalachian area in WV and Kentucky has a lower violent crime rate than the national average.
>>
>>68207014
West Virginia has a lower homicide and violent crime rate than the richest black areas.

Betting your entire economy on one horse. I'd make the same prediction about the Dakotas concerning oil, but at least they can still do farming when it runs out.

What about the millions of dinosaurs yucatan killed?

NAFTA
it was like a kick to the balls while the rust belt was already on its knees
it has explosive economic growth right now iirc though

It's shaped like Afghanistan
>>
>>68207357
Yeah with mass amount of people going from oil wages to much lower wages will take a huge toll.

Dakotas have to prepare for that and set up the state so that if oil demand drops or becomes unviable in the state that they can diversify because I think Dakota had a boom before.

I wonder if there's a pattern between non-germanicness and drug abuse. That map seems almost like the opposite of this map.

white people in general are, west virginia happens to be heavily white

>>68208518
And somehow the Dakotas aren't? Do drug dealers go "nah, fuck the money, it's too cold for me there"?
>>
>>68208586
what possible reason would anyone have to go to north or south dakota?
>>
>>68208625
Surely oil field workers are easier to sell drugs to than Mormons.
>>
>>68208625
Same reason hookers and strippers do.
To get some of that oil money by way of single men having massive boredom plus loneliness.

The white people there are the poor kind of white. Also, it's very mountainous. Land isn't the same as land, when that land isn't suitable for large-scale cities or farming.

And don't forget the constant bribery and resource theft going back and forth between the mining companies and the pols. The land there is getting less and less livable all the time with the environmental destruction that's going on.

I used to do interviews for my company all over the east coast and WV always had the most interesting people.

I did 9 interviews one day in Mineral County WV and only one had a tucked in shirt and our best candidate had a huge cowboy belt buckle.

It was an outside sales position and 3 of them asked me if weather would be a problem

It takes over a month to complete a background check in Mineral County WV

2bh newfoundland has the highest unemployment out of all provinces in canada, and has a homicide rate of ~0.6 per 100k, which is pretty damn low

same goes for all of atlantic canada, which is generally very anglo/scot/irish but also very poor compared to the west

The ones that are just administrative afterthoughts always are. Everything back east makes more sense, although the British (hint) colonial boundaries are still noticeable and still nonsensical.
