Shocking! Uh, no.

I guess coal mining is more profitable if Citizens Untied gets the cost of killing workers down. Luckily, corporations aren't *actually* people so no one will pay any personal cost for their murder ... and even if that CEO refuses to do it again, the corporation will find another willing CEO. Human suffering will never outweigh profits. Capitalism always finds a way

Did you vote for him? Because then I sincerely wish you happy coughing yourself to death. Why I don't give a fuck? They wouldn't either, if this was happening to other people. So... Enjoy what you ordered.

Too bad they dont have white lung. /s

What part about "dismantling regulations and the EPA ' wasn't clear to them? Well, in the plus side they country can't get back on track until the kind of people who vote for him die out, so there's that

I read the thumbnail as "Cool miners..." and was a little confused.

But the coal is clean now!

Problem is. If they go to the police they will get shot in the lungs.

Well, to a racist you shouldn't use black. Call it Grey Long and try again.

Dear mr Coal Miner, did you vote for this ?
bourbonandbaddecisions
Surprised?

Maybe they should look for someone that isn’t a cheerleader? Maybe they should look for someone that is an actual leader?
Cheerleaders rally up the people that already believe in your side. They are all show. They don’t convince anyone on the other side.

Why aren't they mining clean coal?

If they didn’t want to be cast aside and treated like trash, they shouldn’t have voted for Republicans.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
When a Republican says "I support [industry]!", they only ever mean the owners and bosses.

Trump is a cheerleader for himself and himself alone...anything else is pretense and gaslighting in the one long scam that is the miserable life of a narcissist.
icantbelieveistillhavetoprotestthiscrap
Hillary Clinton rolled out a program to train coal miners for other industries as part of her campaign and they HATED her for it. "HITLERY'S TRYING TO KILL COAL" they shrieked. Well, yes. She wanted to give you careers that WOULDN'T GIVE YOU BLACK LUNG. I feel bad for the decent coal miners that got dragged down by the reactionary morons.

Wait... you work in a field where you're more than likely going to have health issues and the first thing you do is vote for a guy that wants to get rid of the health care benefits you require? FAFO

If only there were some kind of occupational safety and health group or administration, and their job was to protect workers from workplace hazards, and they had staffing and funding to do their jobs.....I think that would be great!

Didnt some mining towns find success with reeducating miners into green industries ? like i get Trumps gov put an end to all funding there but what about private funding ?
veesee
Recruiter for renewable energy here, anyone that thinks people need a "re-education" to get a job in my industry is falling for propaganda. You just need to apply for jobs.

Hilary actually had a plan on her campaign website for this kind of thing, putting anyone displaced from an old energy job head of the line for a new one, since they're already skilled technicians (miners having put aside the pick for machines some decades ago), but damned if she ever mentioned it

Tag your posts, please. Use "trump" and/or "politics". Thanks.
OrangeIsTheNewFacism
Notice how the #ASSHOLE# still hasn't tagged his post. What a fucking ASSHOLE.
NChomsky
Regarding people who ignore polite tagging requests from fellow users, it's a virtual guarantee that posting political memes is the absolute & utter extent of their "activism". These people are 100% politically inactive dickheads irl.
DrFlukeHawkins
Naw. They do this intentionally cause they know their post would just die in a circle jerk.
The same people that said we needed trigger warnings on everything think you should be forced to hear their every thought no matter what
NChomsky
It's not that I'm some lobotomized Trump sycophant. In fact I despise the whole administration. It's just that this non-stop political slop sucks me in and I end up making post after post when I'm really just here for a laugh & maybe to meet a few creative people. My tags are packed with political terms and yet 30% of my thumbs are posts about or indirectly related to this this creep... It's driving my up the wall again. I managed to tamp it down for awhile but now the poli-spam bots are back.
HamSlamwich
Damn that second sentence. I've been trying to summarize that exact thought for a while now. I am both extremely liberal and simultaneously SO sick of the SJW(for lack of a better term) mentality here.
