98 percent of America was involved in agriculture at the ratification of the Constitution.
Today, less than two percent are in agriculture, yet they are producing more food than ever.
If some stupid fat lying **** promised to "bring back all those lost agriculture jobs", how profoundly stupid would you have to be to bleev him?
That is EXACTLY what is going on with mining jobs. Trump is lying to them. He's depending on them to be stupid enough to bleev him.
At least Biden and the Democrats are being honest with them. And all you dumb gullible ***** can chortle about is the delivery of that message.
Jesus Christ, you so deserve to be lied to by Trump. I swear to god. You totally deserve it.
An interesting argument. Does anyone know about how many people it takes to produce the same amount of coal? I think the demand for coal will always be high, because it can be used for just about anything. I live in an agricultural area, and the populations of small towns actually went down as super corporate farms took over. Rural America contracted. Many small towns lost schools and traditions such as town festivals, and drugs swept in. However, many of these towns adapted through industry. Some small town got bird food factories, packaging factories, ect. It is obvious that the more useful skills you have the better, but opportunity goes a long way helping the small towns. Becoming a service only economy, and cheering about it, is not a logical solution.
Well, here are the number of coal jobs over time:
And here is coal production over time:
Just as with every other industry, it takes less workers to produce more output, thanks to technological advances.
I cannot believe this actually has to be explained!
The recent reduction in the production of coal is attributed to the recent boom in natural gas. Coal plants are being replaced by natural gas plants.
It's been in all the papers for a while now. The ones the gaslighted tard herd have been trained to call "fake news".
Trump is hoaxing the rubes. At least the Democrats have been telling them the truth: "Coal is dead. You better find something else to do."
Better to tell the hard facts to the people, then bullshit them into continuing down a dead end. Trump is a ******* criminal fraud for telling the coal miners he is going to save them.
