Take Your Trash Out of Appalachia with Daniel Meade from SWVA Patriots

This show Simon, Chip, and Billy were joined by Daniel Meade, who is from Russell County, Virginia and runs the Facebook page SWVA Patriots, and is an active participant in his community taking on corrupted government. We discussed the similarities between our communities, wasteful spending, and the biggest issue right now which is a landfill being proposed in their back yard that will import trash.
