I hope they all move to South America and create another Jonestown.

He's not really bringing back jobs though, is he?

You know given that this was scheduled to open starting years ago and these 70 jobs are temporary as the mine isn't expected to even be open for longer than 15 years before it closes.

You're correct. And to be fair, there might only be a handful of "true believers" in the mix while some are just listening for entertainment, but they are all still weird to me. Some of them even pepper other peoples cars and toolboxes with infowars stickers.

Well coal is loving dead whether or not you can life support it for another decade so maybe give them pensions and their kids a free education while investing in better adult education while working out a good strategy for how to transition tons of jobs as industries change in the future.

Of course that would require actual leadership haha.

The regulations repealed make it more profitable to use less labor intensive methods of mining coal. This will mean companies will shift to these methods to capture these profits. This means LESS JOBS FOR MINERS.

Coal is a live and well, please stop making things up. Guess what, electric cars will never mainstream either, crazy i know. Not that they are actual electric since you plug them into a coal produced outet.
