Big, beautiful coal is making a comeback, along with the horse and buggy, polio and giant blocks of ice harvested from your local river and delivered right to your door. Of course, that last one is only for the wealthy, not you scrubs. 🤣
It won’t collapse, the people working in the mines will be the ones that suffer from lack of safety precautions and laws. There are no other means for employment in these areas that are as lucrative. That’s why they all rally around Trump like he’s a God. It’s because it’s their livelihood.
The private industry will collapse because without safety, the expenses will become too great to operate. And there will be many failures leading up to that point.
Mr. Cuban, Respectfully- these miners don't care if Trump's policies kill them. They really, really don't- it's a personality cult and there is no leaving it
Trumps the only clown in the world who would sign a bill for more Oil and coal mining then sign a bill a week later cutting coal miners health care. "Your Vore Your Reward"
Totally get what you're saying and I agree. These same people have literally been working since Reagan to make what is happening right now come about. And they'll never stop voting "R".
At least they need to admit that they were badly fooled and stop blaming D's for their own mistakes. That said, they and we are all in it together and need to get out of it, together, if possible.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” ― Lyndon B. Johnson
Trump's name should absolutely be mentioned. Always make crystal clear who is the cause. Not mentioning Trump's name is a mistake. Also, never give credit to a certain percentage of the population - 30% at minimum - that they will "know" or "get it" without it being blatantly stated; they won't.
I imagine USA 'left behind' communities get lied to as often as in the UK and are vulnerable to popularist politicians who claim they care and there are simple solutions when all those politicians care about are their rich pals and helping themselves and their pals get richer
Yet all you hear from the MAGA faithful and even some “moderate” republicans is that DOGE is making necessary cuts and removing the pork from government. They don’t hear that the cuts are non discriminate and dangerous. Even if they did, they wouldn’t admit it unless the cuts affect them personally.
The 🍊💩🤡 stood in front of them laughing and joking about beautiful clean coal telling them how great their lives are going to be,knowing all along this was gonna happen. Just like mine owners 🍊💩🤡 only cares about 💲💵💲❗
They were part of the 77.3 million voters who drank the kool-aid. They almost did what the Jonestown people did - they drank the poison and are now probably going to die.
So sad - They voted for this. FYI, my grandfather worked in the coal mines for a few years when he was young. He died from lack of lung function, i.e. he suffocated.
Awww! So cute. It's all bluster and tough talk when Trump brainwashed them, and now that THEY are being effected, I should give a shit? No, that's not how this works. Figure it out for yourselves magats. I will never care what happens to any of them.
They rejected money from the Clinton’s and Obama to remain in the mines and have their kids follow them to their death and I’m sure health care cost mean nothing to them
Yep. And the GOP took that and claimed Clinton hated them and thought they were stupid b/c she told them those jobs wouldn’t last. Pepperidge farms remembers.
Given his decades-long history of labor exploitation, I doubt that even after the Farmington disaster Trump would have supported occupational health and safety legislation, let alone black lung benefits.
Was Trump's loud support of the coal industry supposed to distract their attention so they wouldn't notice when he cut their benefits? Or doesn't he know he cut their benefits?
First he wants to increase coal and then he wants them to die of black lung disease. Are you kidding me? This is just absolutely sickening disgusting and no I never use his name. I hope they understand that Republicans do not care about we the people. No more voting for them. Only care about money.
Oh but he wants to bring back coal mining. Talk about the right hand not knowing what the left is going. The bipolar president need to be taken to a home by his kids far, far away. Step up Ivanka!
Sad. Won't even know they have it until it is too late. Sure, try to open more mines, hire more people, cut safety, and lead them to an early, painful death. Trump wants to turn back the clock in America.
Yeah well, one of the things I really, really hate Trumpers for is that they made me not care about those coal miners. Or all those veterans who voted for Trump. Or the Trumpers who are going to lose their health care. I. No. Longer. Give. A. Shit.
Trump says "I LOVE the miners!" When King Midas the Maleficent Malignancy says he "loves" (or worse, "CHERISHES" you) BEWARE! He's about to slit your throat. He's a toxic pathogen.
It’s not though. There aren’t an excess of workers, then there is compensation for families and such, higher worker’s compensation rates, reputational damage, etc.
With the greatest respect. There won’t be any compensation, because all legal systems are being closed down. And they won’t care about reputation because the regime praises this behaviour.
I’m with you in principle. I live in a country with free healthcare.
Happens all the time in Shipyards. Injured workers were never brought back, nor did they have to be, even though that’s what they thought. I know cause I worked with those receiving workers comp from the federal govt to find them jobs or retraining. Only they didn’t usually die
My grandfather had black lung disease; I have an understanding of what this means for a generation of miners. I am torn though, since this was known & 70% of them voted for it anyway. Would we feel the same remorse if they just shotgunned a leg off instead?
Sadly, like most of maga, trump doesn’t care at all for them! I have relatives that wired in PA coal mines and have a pretty decent idea how dangerous it is.
Trump is responsible for these devastating cuts. He is shameful!
1990 I had the opportunity to go down into one of W.Va. mines. I was suited up, the whole thing. Three days later I will still getting coal dust out of my ears. Black lung is horrible.
I’m from a coal mining county in Ky. I don’t live there anymore, but my family does. I’m actually a coal miners daughter. My dad, a former Marine also, has black lung and has defended Trump relentlessly. I don’t get it.
Isn't this another prime example of Trump not caring about the American people? Wasn't he a proponent of fossil fuels particularly coal mining and now he doesn't want to help coal miners? I'm not surprised. And any coal miners who voted for Trump shouldn't be surprised either, Democrats told you so.
I love this for them. Trump said he wanted to go back to the early 20th century, when America was great. So they should have known exactly what they were voting for.
70% of the vote. 70%. For Trump in WVA. These folks can literally fuck off.
Good luck kids. You voted for Hitler. Fuck you. I care more for the people the Gestapo are disappearing than Dumbfucks with zero regrets complaining that they harmed themselves.
No. You harmed so many others more.
I only disagree with you on one point. Tie Trump’s name to it. Repeatedly. Connect the dots in a way that makes it explicitly clear that this was his doing. Simply because they DON’T know.
People entering the coal mining industry will have less protection than their fathers and grandfathers. It’s time for all young Americans to wake up. The Trump Administration is targeting you, too.
In journalism school, they teach you that you and your publisher/broadcaster can be sued unless you're accurate. The only defense for libel is the truth (I wrote for a local newspaper for 10 years).There were fact checkers.Trump has turned the system upside down-there must be a way to counter that.
Biden-Harris gave more than $140 Million in fiscal year 2023 funding from President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to address dangerous and polluting abandoned mine lands (AML), create good-paying, family-sustaining jobs, catalyze economic opportunity in coal communities across West Virginia.
According to the rich and the shareholders workers are expendable and replaceable. No health care means more profit just like the good ole days of coal and oil barons.
Interesting that the first American Pope chose the name Leo XIV when Leo XIII was known as the worker's Pope and pushed hard for better working conditions. Maybe this American Pope will spark a shift in class consciousness.
Guess your inbred dumbasses shouldn’t have voted for the #ConvictedFelonOrangeAss #FFOTUS #Führer2 #JustShutYourFuckingMouthUp #YouAreNotThePresidentAndYouNeedToGoAway #Schadenfreude #Karma
He’ll get 71% because young men voting for the first time will be indoctrinated. Remember, in spite of screwing over millions of people the first time he was president, he’s increased his vote total every time he’s run.
I’m looking forward to seeing Millions of MAGA Republicans turn on TRUMP/VANCE. It won’t be pretty. Many of them will try to blame ANYONE other than Trump (because of the cult mindset). However, not all of them will. Either way he’s losing support in DROVES!
Well I guess rural Appalachia has to live with the decisions they made. Everyone else knew this was coming. They don’t get a pass anymore. They had a choice and made it. Shit happens at this point. Let’s figure out a way to keep American citizens from being kidnapped by the government.
Sadly, you get what you pay for…. In their wildest dreams they never thought that “their President” would do anything to hurt them. He was supposed to go after the woke Democrats. WRONG!!!! He doesn’t give a shit about them
I'm not sure how many of his supporters will admit he did them wrong. They are stubborn, concrete thinkers and will wait indefinitely for the promises to come to fruition.
This "individual" has only one reply, which he/she/it copies and pastes, apparently randomly, to posts, together with that one unreadable attachment. Best ignored, not engaged with.
This is how most cut throat businesses work. Always has been. Knew a guy back in the 80s who's dad was fired 3 wks prior to retiring, where he would have gotten a pension & hlth ins. Instead, this VP ended up with no pension, a ♥️ attack, losing the family home, & a bankruptcy. Devastated the family.

Stop pushing this bullshit, Mark Cuban. These people are not hapless children who are too stupid to know better.
They’re adults who can live with the consequences of their choices.
No, no mercy for them. They will, given a chance, vote the same way.
Enjoy breathing while you can.
Then they die, and their sons will vote for Trump again and again and again.
Protect due process
Protect the rule of law
Cruelty is the point
Just another step in the creation of a permanent underclass.

Saves a whole bunch of money. Great for efficiency.
Do you seriously think they care about this?
Train another miner and wave the sick one goodbye for zero cost. Got to be a winner for the company.

He just said the idea of “taxing the wealthy,”…You should make a statement saying that you are all for it!
And also pressure Nutting to sell the Pirates!
This is what happens when you’re misinformed not knowing the facts of which side actually cares about your quality of life.
@ustrulymg.bsky.social
We got too many dumbasses today getting incorrect news from Twitter
Zero.
The proof?
They'll vote Republican no matter what, and blame their misery on Democrats.
Therein lies the MAGA voters mindset.
