The world changes industries rise and fall. You don't keep industries around once they stop making sense just because people have jobs doing it. If you did buggy whips would be booming.
Coal is the worst offender, a dirty, carbon-intensive fuel source that pollutes the air, fouls our environment, and single-handedly produces more than a quarter of U.S. global warming emissions.
Jobs are no longer union? Your damn right you were a dumb ass for not joining and alowing them to be weakened by guess who! Republican governors. Hell yea you are a dumbass.
Still Democrats try to help those folks out.
Show me a single Republican bill that does so. Oh i am sure you can find a whole lot of them that "protect" them by loosening restrictions and allowing pollutants and lax worker safety. That is the only way you will find Republicans "helping" them. Fuck the water and air we need jobs and everyone pulute so it's no big deal.
