LOL, I don't have to go to indonesia for that. They're all over the rivers I'm trying to work and play in. Destroying the ecosystem, impoverishing the local pass through economy in sweetheart deals, and obliterating the market value of waterfront homes.
I'd be willing to call the damage in cold hard us dollars incalculable..but it's really not..just that no one empowered to do so wants to see that number or to have the economically anxious™ voters of appalachia be confronted by it. It'd ruin the game. The easy excuse is always that whatever that number is, it'd be worse if it weren't. Well, define worse for a west virginia resident whose children are either dead or in rehab and who owe more on their homes than they will ever be worth while hustling to hold down a super lucrative job at dollar tree, as they approach their so-called golden years?
Aside from some shitheel deciding to valhallan flight their way into a little white on white gentrification...those guys are fucked - now and forever, under the status quo.
