@hightor,
I wonder whether the slim lead that Biden acquired in the several states were the result of TRUMP"doing it to himself"
1. His Az lead, was it lost as voters who remembered TRUMP's vainglorious attacks on John McCain, a true AMRICAN hero who failed to kiss the fat ones ass?.
2. Much of Bidens "catch up andpass" was centered in results from South-Western Pa, where Trump had failed to deliver his promises to restore coal mining in the commonwealthW. He instead lost an additional 12% of mining jobs. We perhaps could be retooling mining and colliery skills developing the technology to mine rare earths from the coal and the coal dust. (Crap that is presently polluting about 25K tream miles in PA alone
roughly 1/3 of Pa's 84000 stream miles. Mining rare earths could make the mining an "expense" so the cleanups that would result would be offsetting operating costs as a greater tax relief. Compliance and metallurgical coals are loaded with REE's and Anthracite too.
