#207: Why does a Wall Street hedge fund own Appalachian trailer parks?

Chuck and Callie discuss a story about a wall street investment firm that has been buying up trailer parks in Appalachian and the south and running them into the ground, and how residents are fighting back.

PLUS - Appalachia's Gypsy Rose and Kremlin Cameron (thanks TN Holler) and his authoritarian golden tickets to the TN House.
