Española is about 25 miles away from Los Alamos. The difference of the two cities reminds me of Palo Alto and East Palo Alto. Not only is East Palo Alto very poor - decades ago it had one of the highest per capita murder rates in the country. I have no idea how the city is doing now but I assume it's pretty much the same. The local tech bros (including I don't know how many billionaires) surely don't give a fuck even if they say they believe in the bullshit of effective altruism.

A response to viewer questions and comments on my segment about Los Alamos, N.M. | PBS NewsHour

An inevitable risk of juxtaposing the country’s richest community with one of its poorest is the inference that the latter is somehow responsible for the former. We made no such claim, but could hardly avoid the fact that others at least thought Los Alamos and/or the government should be doing more.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
