Paychecks bounce, leaving Kentucky coal miners at bankrupt Blackjewel in a bind

[highroller]

How do you know they don’t?

[conan]

Maybe you can post example.

[highroller]

What kind of example would you like?

@conan

Why is it that libs always want to take?

Why don’t libs give back?

Oh, they do. Here’s a commercial that I think illustrates that very well. I love this ad.

We Belong to Something Beautiful

@conan

No…what YOU want is we work with libs. It’s very nature of authoritarian mind.

Why won’t libs work with us? Is it because we want most of em to leave us alone?

This makes no sense.

Their last checks were taken back out of their accounts.

Well, how the hell does that work? Like, unDirect Deposit?

Even under Obama republicans were more proud to be American then libs.

this place had tons of upside down US flags as avatars.

[conan]

Read it and weep.

Polling numbers show Democrats not as proud of America

[fu1jdo9txeyzjtv63gwmbw] What is the disconnect? I am not asking to throw shade, to criticize? Why is it since at least then turn of the century, Democrats and independents have less pride in America than Republicans. Being a man that leans libertarian these days. Just what have republicans been so proud of. And what are democrats so ashamed of? Just asking for a friend…

That doesn’t count.

[Konssurvative1]

What are you weeping over?

[conan]

Even under Obama republicans were more patriotic then libs.

[Konssurvative1]

Ok. That’s what I was wondering. What is it about America in this century that has Democrats so upset? But I don’t want this to be discussed in this thread. It will be too hard for me to discuss.

I remember a possibly former poster commenting on laid off workers taking advantage of state vocational rehabilitation programs. Rather than take advantage of something more in demand, like nursing, they selected (drumroll) coal mining, having faith it would be brought back.

As shown in the link, such training still exists. Sorry for the workers in the OP. Maybe they, too, can get some more updated job training & get out of this dying industry once and for all.

That doesn’t change the fact on the ground now does it? China sells America solar panels and wind turbines while they use coal for power to make em.

Again…do you know how much energy it take to run a robotic an automated plants…under environmental controlled area?

This is China’s past, not its future.

Half of all investment in the WORLD in renewable energy is from China.

China is committed to having a quarter of their internal energy use come from renewable sources by 2030.

China understands going back to the 1950s when it comes to energy use is neither desirable nor sustainable.

@tnt

You are the one who wants to emulate China’s use of coal.

China doesnt even emulate China’s use of coal.

[biggestal99]

@conan

Right…is that why when we criticized Obama administration libs called us racist?

why is this in the coal thread? should be in the americas great thread.

There is no reason to equate dirty coal to pride in America.

Its a totally misplaced in this thread about bankrupt coal companies.

Slight diversion, but its no surprise to any fan of union music that the OP story is from Harlan county.
