I wonder how/if the states of these workers will reemploy them

They've tried constantly to transition them but they'd rather starve than learn a new skill. I feel for them but if they only want to go all in on voting for "fascist force the country to run on coal" I don't feel for them once the stopgaps run out.

Some of those communities ARE finding their way into the future though and I support supporting them.

I’ve got absolutely zero sympathy for anyone in the coal industry who refuses free retraining. Go ahead. Go bankrupt. See if the rest of the world gives a shit.

The people who want to move on from coal move out, thus a sampling bias exists where the diehards live off promises that can't be fulfilled
