It's a shame that there are no longer high paying, unskilled jobs in the energy sector, like running wellbores in Oklahoma, which pays around 30 bucks an hour, that these people could take.

Besides, it's more like Trump wins, flails and utterly fails to remove Obama's signature legislation.

His signature legislation is a blowjob for insurance corporations lol

And he has systematically removed other achievements with no issue. Just funny that obama was so smug and guess what?

i've noticed the same is true of many decades
what we would call 60s fashion - psychedelia and hippy stuff - was small/counter-cultural in the late 60s but really went full sellout mainstream in the early 70s
what we think of as 70s - disco - similarly really went mainstream in the early 80s
etc etc
even today idk in hindsight what we'll associate with what decade, but you might say that "hipster fashion" will be associated with the 2000s (because that's when it was a trendy subculture) even though it was the early 2010s that it was no longer in any way countercultural and ppl like your dad and random guys in like fast food commercials were wearing flannel shirts, trucker hats, and moustaches

if Democrats had an energy policy other than ENERGY BAD they should wholeheartedly support natural gas plants and drive a giant wedge between the coal and oil industries.

I had a good laugh when NPR had an interview with a WV coal company rep who talked up all of these new technologies which were going to revolutionize coal, and then was asked multiple times to name any and he couldn't.

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current President of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

Also... the coal business knows its days as a relevant industry are never coming back anyway, partly because technology and natural gas and partly because the GOP is not going to be in control long enough for them to capitalize on the relaxed regulations. However many new megadrills and power plants they build, that poo poo will be shut down immediately once the parties flip and everything gets re-regulated.


Not all businesspersons are braindead morons.







The morons are the ones expecting the plutocratic oligarchy that owns the world to hand them a "job" and something resembling proletarian dignity, and refuse to put in work to learn any actual skills or go to college, because red-blooded Americans deserve to succeed and will achieve satisfaction because destiny says they will. Labor jobs are almost entirely going to be exported/automated no matter what; any kind of a future for an advanced nation is to get increasingly advanced. Which means backward flyover states that hate hate hate funding public education will continue to decline to a third-world standard of living while anyone with a functioning brain goes to college and then moves to live in cities with other educated elites.



Not that this observation matters to me though because growing up in a lovely school in rural Tennessee and then going to Berkeley for free has shown me that this stupid country needs to die. Just applying a bit of analytical/critical thinking. I currently don't have a choice but to go down with this ship though (burning poo poo-barge that it is) ...but whachagonnado.
