[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 child) Does Texas get a internationally recognized "sacifice zone" where it is simply accepted that those people will die for profit? Texas is bad, but Louisiana is crazy amounts of corruptness with cancer laden areas are simply "well thats what happens". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Meatwagon@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) I don't know if its internationally recognized, but Port Arthur. It's the most depressing town I have ever passed through. The skyline is nothing but refineries and every house is rotting. I drive between Baton Rouge and New Orleans regularly and that's my normal. Port Arthur is a whole other level of poverty and pollution. https://www.vice.com/en/article/sentenced-to-death-what-its-like-living-in-a-cancer-plagued-oil-town/ permalink fedilink source parent
