he hates working white folk.There was nothing Trump could do about coal one way or another – that he could ‘do something’ was just another ridiculous lie his supporters fell for.
“miners reject retraining”
Then they have only themselves to blame for being poor and unemployed, coal isn’t ‘coming back’ – they and other Americans whose jobs are based on a 19th Century economy need to train for 21st Century jobs.
Trade, energy and economic policy will have an impact on coal jobs. It is dishonest of you to pretend otherwise.
Coal is 40% of electricity production today, in 2017. For you to dismiss it as "19th century" jobs, is you being, not only an arrogant ass, but dead wrong.
Retraining has become a code for "we going to fuck you, but pretend we care".
Retraining means, giving up an income for at least months, if not years, maybe being able to finish, maybe being able to find a job in that field.
Why are you so hostile to these people?
