This is the latest coming from the White House President Trump has mentioned restarting coal mines as a means to produce more energy . The mines have been shut down for years most of the workers have switch to other energy positions or in a nursing home or dead .

Imagine not supporting bringing back jobs to rural coal mining towns that have been decimated by regulations? How retarded are you on a scale of 1-10? It feels like a solid 9 to me

Those coal miners will be voting Trump when they're working again.

This is easy to assess. Just put out a notice of Jobs Available and if no one applies then drop the project.

Would be awesome but it takes a lot to get an idled or mothballed mine up and running again.

Theres a ton of autonomous technology in mining now so workers aren’t the biggest issue.

A lifelong blue collar worker making fun of other blue collar workers.

You are so easy to figure out. You’re a blue collar worker that is a closeted homosexual.


It’s why you constantly trash the working class and consistently talk about how manly you are.


So easy. Roger. You are still a good person. Maybe dumb economically. But being a gay blue collar worker isn’t the reason you failed.

Is it the job of government to ignore a viable energy source because of questionable climate concerns?

No, but most of your viable workers are gone. Good luck finding employees who show up on time and sober.


There are hundreds of thousands of construction jobs available, and guess who ISNT taking those jobs?

Well, it sure did seem to be the job of the government to end these jobs and erase the communities this industry supported so…
