CHARLESTON — A $2.1 million American Rescue Plan application was rescinded yesterday after a bunch of white people decided homeless people were gross. With $500,000 on the line to aid in Charleston’s growing unhoused population, one of West Virginia’s sole elected progressives, Kayla Young, somehow finds a way to post online.
“It’s a small act of courage, but what can I say? I love my community.” Young told Ramp reporters. “There’s Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and even LinkedIn. That’s four different social media outlets for me to have to help make excuses for the several small businesses that were possibly hoodwinked into printing, and then signing, and then dating a document that would redirect half a million dollars away from the unhoused community. It’s literally exhausting.”
Young made it clear that she stood with ill-informed and gullible small business owners. “Yes, it’s $2.1 million dollars and that’s kind of a lot. But these businesses who likely received pandemic funding from the government could possibly go under, and then where will they vacation?”
Young ended her evening with a 437 tweet thread with popular phrases like:
“Yes it looks bad @ first glance, but I hope there is some understanding before blindly throwing stones”
“We can do better to get to get the facts first”
“We are all very online”
Which, coincidentally, are all applicable to the businesses who were allegedly tricked into signing the document in the first place. Young has reportedly moved on, and sources confirm that she is “not mad”.
