They are in much better shape than they were under Obama. He & Hillary decimated the industry. Trump brought it back.

Give Maggie ring.

Why in capitalism everithing going bankropt like ex soviet member land and lands in africa and latin america even in europe and north america usa people canot count bankropcy

Yet they keep voting for McConnell and believed Trumps clean coal lies. They criticize those on welfare as lazy or wanting free hand outs. They were warned by previous administrations that the industry is dying & must evolve. They chose not to. I have no sympathy for them.

Am I right in saying that these are the communities that the USA version of bojotheclown🤡 made all sorts of promises to in order to get elected ? What do they think of him now or are they too thick to see him for what he is ?

The government has been running programs forever to help coal miners retrain. Have they? Apparently not. Why do we need NEW programs, when they aren't making use of the ones that exist now?

Too bad they have been voting republican all these years. They can thank senatemajldr for their starving and dying problems. We can’t help those who don’t really want help. Wonder how many fly confederate flags and stickers? 🙄

Anyone who went into this job within the last 20 years is an idiot and doesn’t deserve help. Same with cod fishermen. Some jobs are doomed. It’s written on the wall. Enter at your own feckin risk.

Wow so, wait... trump isn’t doing anything to help the working class people in America? So weird. I would have expected different from a racist, narcissistic, NY billionaire...

I thought they didn't like socialism

Bwahahahahaha... Yeah, soon the steam train lobby will pressure for bailouts too. 😂
