Coal Country Picked Trump. Now, They Want Him To Keep His Promises

[guno]

looks like they are going to get a wake up call on being conned


From West Virginia to Wyoming, coal country overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump and his message that he will bring coal jobs back. Now, those same voters are eyeing his incoming administration closely, careful to see if he will keep his promises to revive the coal industry and get miners back to work.

These hopes have become increasingly desperate as the industry has floundered. U.S. coal production in 2016 is projected to be at its lowest level since 1978, and over the past few years, the country has lost about 30,000 coal jobs.

Coal Country Picked Trump. Now, They Want Him To Keep His Promises

Why wouldn't he, shithead?

 

[TheOldSchool]

Why wouldn't he, shithead?

Because there is no demand for coal whatsoever.

 

[Fenton Lum]

The coal industry was so good for appalachia, all that progress and improvement it brought to the region.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Why wouldn't he, shithead?

Because there is no demand for coal whatsoever.

There would be if not for the Dems SS, the EPA.

Of course, if I only support the proper side, all will become righted.

 

[Correll]

Why wouldn't he, shithead?

Because there is no demand for coal whatsoever.

Really?

Is Trump going to kill natural gas and oil jobs?

Tell me, according to the laws of the free market, what happens to demand when you dramatically increase supply?

50 years ago, when I was a teenager, I took part in a scavenger hunt. On the list was a lump of coal. I was the only one to find one. I found it at an abandoned railway station.

Why wouldn't he, shithead?

Because there is no demand for coal whatsoever.

Really?

Yeah look at that stagnant U.S. demand. Bringing our jobs back indeed.

Nothing. It's the price that is affected.

1. Stagnant why? Because of a hostile government? Because of low gas prices? Both or either will change.

2. ANd of course, coal can be exported. Pretty easy to dump a train car of coal into a ship.

 

[TheOldSchool]

The U.S. is now pumping out a record amount of oil. Yay more jobs right?! Can anyone raise their hand and tell me how many jobs cheap oil creates in the oil industry?

 

[Vandalshandle]

This coal thing that Trump promised was one of his most transparent lies. The people in Appalachia are not educated, but I never thought of them as downright stupid, until now.

The EPA stifled the industry. Democrats should not be allowed to vote.

Nothing. It's the price that is affected.

When the price collapses because of bunch of coal is being mined that nobody wants or needs, what will happen to the coal jobs?

Do you believe that Trump will massively subsidize the coal industry wih federal funding to create unneeded coal jobs?

If true, then there should be massive demand because people cannot meet their energy needs! Tell me, how many hours a day is your home without power thanks to the EPA?

Cheap energy creates jobs in every sector because more people have more money and that enhances demand which prompts productivity.
Democrats should not be allowed to vote.
