@coldjoint,
Trump claimed that he brought back 45000 coal jobs. Check this out and show me where are these 45000 jobs . I know at 2 mine complexes in W Va, an additional 250 minrs were laid off. WHY??? frack gas has taken over the need for coal,
On top of that, thoe "Miner" jobs dont even xist anymore. "pillar robbing metallurgical coal (was being sent to China from W Va and Wyoming mines) are all in need of mining ENGINEERS , not miners. We have autonymous mining machines that are controlled from 2 guys in the mine and others on top.
Trump lied to PA minrs who , when Trump realized he fucked up by promising a "Coal comeback" which didnt, he then borrowed Hillary's mantra about RETRAINING. But Trumps base in SCranton And Wilkes Barre is still so strong that none of the miners signed up for retraining.
Menwhile, I was part of a retraining team that turned about 50 younger miners into Ground water monitor and gas well service techs while they "waited for coal to com back" Even though gas has tanked, these kids still are working because they have to maintain environmental compliance.
WHATEVER TRUMP SAYS ABOUT COAL"S COMEBACK IS A GODDAM LIE , you find the real number of mining jobs this phony has created and see how many werent just seasonal. Obama's Bumines and th coal states would be responsible for about 1500 jobs a YEAR until frack gas began eating into the remaining coal .The only coal left is for coking (metallurgical grade) but thats being pushed out of marketability by plasma arc furnaces, and power plants (but even those are being switched to frack gas.
So if Trump can take credit for more than , say 2000 jobs in his whole regime time (Ill even give you the area of the whole country ), I will apologize. Otherwise , you apologize to me. (We will use Bumines annual tally as final) NO FOX OR MSNBC)
