Exactly why Trump said smart people don’t like him. Sad...

Miners or Minors...or both.

Trump has proven, throughout his life, that he doesn’t care. It’s extraordinary that ordinary Americans would think this vile man would give 2 shits about them.

PT Barnum said, "A Sucker is born every minute." I think areas of the country were really cranking them out faster than that based on your story, God.! I am channeling all my positive energy, love and good wishes on all the Dems elected a few days ago so they are successful and show us a positive path forward toward the midterms. We NEED some HEROES!

I didn't know black lung was back. Thank you God, especially with a president who is trying to kill renewables and just authorized drilling off shore on both the east and west coasts. Spite of course.

Smite spite, please!

Measles was eradicated by 2000. Smite Bobby McMeasles!

I hate to point this out, but he’s only making black lung worse.

There are more non-union mines in WV than there used to be. And as we found with the Sago (2006) & Upper Big Branch (2010) mine disasters, efforts to mitigate black lung & explosions due to coal dust in the air were short changed in favor of producing coal. The 41 miners killed were relatively young & autopsies revealed that they had evidence of black lung more advanced than it should have been given their age.

McConnell has also been voting against black lung legislation. & he represents a coal mining state! & they kept voting for him!!

What the hell are they using coal FOR?! There's infinitely more efficient sources of energy, even non-renewable ones, and the only other use for coal is as a carbon source for making steel...which we apparently don't do any more. X-P

The decades-long strategy to scare and enrage the rural and other blue collar workers has been very effective for the GOP, or actually the Pedophile Protecting Party. By removing occupational safety rules, the rethuglicans are screwing the workers and helping the megacorporations. This is what conservatives do, working folk. This is what they always do. THEY DON"T CARE ABOUT YOU.

"Rethuglican" — marvellous. Thank you. There's no awareness of the "Public" left in RePublicans. More like RePrivilegedans, RePatricians.

"Rethuglican" rolls infinitely better off the tongue, and echoes the joy they get in smashing up the lower classes.

"rethuglican" is not of my invention. It has been floating around Substack for a while now

Amen, God, Amen. Unions came into existence for a reason. Are they immune to corruption? No…. Like all of the institutions created in history, it to was created by an imperfect human being. There’s always going to be someone who figures out how to work the system. That’s why we always must be vigilant. Why do we have to keep proving to them that we are all expendable and replaceable?😞

Final thought, that poor Binky!😆

People like these are the ones who will really turn on Trump when the Epstein files are finally released. Sleepy Donald's approval ratings will finally crash below 35%. Then it's Game Over for his corrupt regime.

I believe the majority of people have NO idea where the "magic" of electricity comes from. Someone has to go down into the mines and dig the coal out of the ground. The photo op you posted of the coal execs have NEVER gotten their hands dirty, or breathed in the coal dust.

Very sad. But will they continue voting Republican?

There’s no such thing as “clean coal” either. Coal is perpetually dirty. It never takes a bath. 🙄

This is why I cannot forgive MAGAts. I really don't care if THEY want to kill themselves, but I don't see why the sane Americans should suffer for their stupidity? Let them drink rawmilk with a chaser of bleach. Not get vaccinated. Dig coal or drill for oil. No regulations so their massas get richer and they die choking to death.

Nancy's avatar

Ah, but the problem of them not being vaccinated can lead to mutations among the diseases; look at things like measles making a comeback after it was nearly eradicated. I wonder if the pharmaceutical companies now have to make new vaccines; if the measles strain has changed from the one(s) I and my husband (since we had intelligent parents growing up) had gotten vaccinated against. :-/

I agree with you 100%!
