Leopards Ate My Face

Look I hate to see industries churn through workers lives like disposable commodities but:

1. You chuckle fucks voted for this.

2. Perhaps your painful deaths etched into your loved one's memories will cement shit like this from happening again (at least until living memory of you fades, as is inevitable with the human condition).

3. Even if it doesn't, with you lot dying for nothing including your bosses withholding any death in service pay from your families at least we can call it karmatically even.

They misunderstood, trump said he loved minors, not miners.

Coal mining has become much more automated. It now requires highly skilled engineers and equipment operators and does not need the massive man power as it once did.

Their jobs are never coming back and the ones that do are not good matches because they don't have the proper skills.

They were lied to then betrayed. We should not blame them. We should blame the leaders who lie to our working class. The ones who promise impossible things and deliver garbage.

Guess they should have let Hillary teach them to put up solar panels like she wanted to.

Lots of news in the "no shit" category these days

Probably voted for trump.

When Trump says he's a friend to miners, he's just keeping them quiet while selling them out to the big mining corps and damaging renewables for the big oil companies.

When he says he's a friend to farmers, he's just keeping them quiet while selling them out to argentinian fascists, republican land grabbers and the big agro-corps.

When you are working class, Trump was never your friend, the republicans aren't your friends and the industry is not providing jobs for but exploiting you.

Yeah, they have. Why do you think we've been trying to get people out of the mines in the first place? The only people who still want coal mines are evil or ignorant. If you're not evil, you probably have black lung.
