New Ep from The Holler:

Every January they come to s**t on us. Crows by the thousand. Dark and thick in the trees behind my apartment. Sh****ng. All the time.

Bridgeport, OH is a landmark for crows. It’s wired into their tiny nut brains. Eat. Sleep. S**t on Bridgeport, Ohio. Each generation passes down precise geo-coordinates to the next.

I hear them squawking outside as they take flight. One of the thousands of Halliburton semi trucks rolling through here daily stirs them from the roost. Liquid s**t falls from the sky like cursed rain. It slaps on the sidewalk like dough in a skillet.

The semis are carrying brine. It’s a toxic brew left over from hydraulic fracturing for natural gas. Belmont County, Ohio sits in the heart of a twenty-two-county region responsible for 90% of gas production from the Appalachian basin. An unbelievable 32.5 billion cubic feet of gas comes out of this ground daily.

And, failing up: losing $200 billion to become the second richest person

Last Holler episode of the year! It's beyond rewarding...good for the soul... to create pro-working-class independent media. As far as I know, The Holler was the only media interviewing workers directly for this event. Thank you so much to all the paid subscribers who make these trips possible.
