Missionary Positron posted:Yes, but isn't it comparatively small relative to other industries? I mean if this is the heading for the wiki article for coal mining in the US, the industry is in pretty bad shape: "By January 2016, more than 25% of coal production was in bankruptcy in the United States.[5] In 2015 four publicly-traded US coal companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, including Patriot Coal Corporation, Walter Energy, and the fourth-largest Alpha Natural Resources filed for bankruptcy protection. The second-largest producer Arch Coal and the largest producer Peabody Energy declared bankruptcy in 2016.[5][6][7] By March 2017, the coal industry employed approximately 77,000 miners. 60,000 jobs have been lost since 2011.[8]". Mr. Nice! posted:There is no one actually working in the coal industry. TBeats posted:Because the GOP represents the good, hard working blue collar American and what better way to send that message than with the coal industry? It's not about the coal industry at all. It's about optics.  A lot of conservative American vote-gathering is about pissing off liberals, whose views are threatening and confusing. This includes coal, as Cole points out. A lot of conservatives understand coal matters to some people--even if not the voters in question, or their friends--and so it's lovely and useful to pander to that notion. It's the evil doppleganger to neoliberal/corporate knob-slobbering of social justice imagery. Gays are a minority; ethnic minorities are a minority; yet many liberal voters prefer the candidate who pays lip service to both regardless of what they actually have done or do in office.

Reverand maynard posted:so I was having dinner with my family and my uncle (who is an engineer and has been using the non lovely lightbulbs for years) got into a really big argument over loving lightbulbs with his father in law. Watching an old rich white dude getting upset that someone would use cost efficient, energy efficient lightbulbs was loving bizarre. He's also very vocally for fracking. It's almost as though intergenerational disputes force their way into any and all contexts

Yeah okay. Macron is the manifestation of Hillary Clinton's PR countenance in a man's body, which is to say a source of excitement for a small group of people whose opinions and intentions are already known and consistently undermined. Automated driving is 5 to 10 years away. Trucks definitely, cars per city. Toxx me, doxx me, just don't diss my moxie.

In the lifecycle of a country, isn't this the part where its poorest and stupidest emigrate and work their asses off to make a better future for their children, who within a generation or two will return to recolonize the homeland with a smarter form of government and cooler guns? Also D&D is totally welcome here / in this thread, I'm just worried they have an inferiority complex with respect to how much we're heroes and they're not.

I was talking to an Army recruiter and he was totally selling me on the "sure enlist and then you can work your way up to officer!" Since all I had to show in life was a history degree and a $30K job. (No one wanted me for officer). Jeez, thanks for not joining Chichevache posted:You really think someone wants Cole?

facialimpediment posted:The Intercept probably blew the source when the reporter(s) checked with ANOTHER contractor to confirm the document's veracity and literally gave them full pictures of the document, plus the intelligence report number. There's some bullshit in there about the documents being creased, but it looks like Contractor #2 went to the government, then the government person blew it up. https://twitter.com/leahmcelrath/status/871854226644840448 Durr make her sit in an office doing nothing for six months so she has experience before we let her see the good stuff!

I'm confused as to whether people wish that first lady of Arkansas Hillary had sent the prison labor to do the same job anywhere besides the governor's mansion, or if they wish that first lady of Arkansas Hillary single-handedly crushed the prison-labor complex regardless of where it took place, or something? I guess what I'm saying is that when we live in a future when any piece of text longer than a hot take is considered a book, I won't feel so bad about walking into a bar at 10am to watch Comey testify on the TV.

This rush on mammoth ivory is luring a fresh breed of miner – the tusker – into the Russian wilderness and creating dollar millionaires in some of the poorest villages of Siberia.  https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/15/well/family/talking-to-boys-the-way-we-talk-to-girls.html Talking to Boys the Way We Talk to Girls posted:What’s more, a 2017 study led by Emory University researchers discovered, among other things, that fathers also sing and smile more to their daughters, and they use language that is more “analytical” and that acknowledges their sadness far more than they do with their sons. The words they use with sons are more focused on achievement — such as “win” and “proud.” Researchers believe that these discrepancies in fathers’ language may contribute to “the consistent findings that girls outperform boys in school achievement outcomes.”

Also FYI everyone, regarding Russians' general desire to drink themselves to death and provoke westerners who are otherwise averse to nuclear confrontations, it makes a lot of sense if you realize that Russian citizens are basically that superstar deployment E-4 that is now trying and failing to survive in a garrison environment, lashing out at everyone and everything in the process as a masturbatory conflagratory act of self-destructive trollpocalypse.

Back in the day you used to be able to murder anyone you wanted as long as you were stronger than them or had a bigger club or a meaner pet dinosaur. Back in the good ol' paleo days. Everything was organic, natural, simple. I guess what I'm saying is this gun / police derail in the current events thread ends here; I have a probation in the chamber and 8 more in the magazine. Go ahead and reach for that wallet. I'm feelin' a-frightened.
