I found out about this from a government staffing post on !mildlyinteresting@lemmy.world. The TVA started as a New Deal regional modernization project in the 50’s, and has a mildly interesting history. Very good.

I don’t know why but this reminded me of…“The day my mama socked it to the Tennessee Valley Authority”.
The TVA is super fucked from an environmental and civil liberties perspective, and has long been a folk-culture boogeyman for that reason.
Lots of poor working-class people were kicked off land that had been in the family for generations with zero recourse and very little compensation.
