Trump is good for the death business.
The US Republicans have been the death party for a very long time. All of their policies are designed to get people killed.
*designed to get non-white people killed, but have the unintended (from their POV) side-effect of killing white people.
That's what they want to make you think.
Usually yeah, but coal mining is a pretty traditionally white male job.
These areas are getting exactly what they vote for
At an individual level, I have some limited sympathy, but overall, let them lay in the bed they decided to shit in
Backwards fucking hicks.
I work in the mining industry, pretty much 99% of the employees voted and still support Trump. All of them hate the EPA, OSHA, and MSHA. Since Trump was reelection they have all been super excited for him to get rid of all the regulations for safety calling the rules “woke bullshit” I’ve told them many times that if OSHA/MSHA is shut down there goes half of your paycheck because those “woke bullshit” laws are what enables us to take home a good check every 2 weeks. They all gave me a look like I was speaking Chinese then I was told I don’t love American enough. It will be interesting to see what happens when the price of precious metals drops, but it also will suck because me as well as all of us have to be on board for this car crash.
Leopards eating faces. They love their coal mines enough to die for them.
They're just so... unimaginative. There are so many things other than coal and mining people could invest in.
If they weren't so fucking stupid they'd be asking the government to train them on installing solar and wind. Then they'd have future proof high paying jobs without dying for it in their 40's.
But this is straight up natural selection at its finest.
The wind Trump is cancelling?
Everyone acting like every single coal miner is republican
The voting record is pretty stark.The Wyoming and West Virginia counties where coal is the main source of employment voted over 90% for Trump in the 2024 election. In Pennsylvania it's closer to 70-80% in those counties, but still pretty overwhelmingly in support of Trump. Those three states are responsible for the bulk of coal production in the US.
No group is entirely homogeneous, but there aren't a lot of groups that are so unilateral.
Nah, just 90% of them.
Fiscally Socialist, Socially Conservative. Might as well be Republican with how they wanna use their party as a weapon against trans, gay and minority ethnicity folks.
in the USA that is "with all deliberate speed"
