So now coal miners were "spreading opiates"?, it sounds like you feel a need to shit on these people because they voted poorly. Nope, neither Obama or Hillary or Trump can stop market forces and re-training might work for some, but if your 54 and done nothing but mine for 30+yrs what can you learn now?. Where will the jobs be even after a successful re-train?. Hopefully the entire state has learned an important lesson, no one in the GOP gives a rats ass about them (or anyone else not rich).
I get your feelings are hurt because you don't like people pointing out the truth that the situation these people are in, is due to them enabling the politicians that have aided in and profited from them getting fucked over, but seriously, you're just being straight up stupid at this point.
Where did I say that? I said they'd now be free to go and do that, because that's going to be a realistic thing they'll resort to now (and you know what, some of them were doing that, just like some of them had a role in the meth issues, and some were probably moonshining too). Ask me how I know this mother fucker. I've lived in areas like that.
It sounds like you feel a need to play moron so you can pretend you give a shit about these people or at least don't want to have to admit how fucking stupid your arguments have been in this thread.
I'm just being honest that their voting is a big reason why they're ending up like this. But nope, Turmp blowing coal smoke up their asses isn't any worse than what Hilary told them was going to inevitably happen and offered a plan for helping them deal with it. Somehow that's just as bad according to you.
Where did I say they could stop that? Oh I didn't? Gee, maybe you could try being honest instead of a dishonest dumbfuck?
You're right, they're hopelessly stupid and will never be able to learn to do
anything else. Hey, let me play stupid now. How about we just fucking murder them instead, it'll be mercy killing and be better for them in the end. After all they're otherwise worthless human beings and no way we could possibly help them. At least that sure as shit sounds like what you're saying about them. Personally I wouldn't have given a shit if the $30 billion plan from Hilary was literally just a living fund (that operated like welfare in general, paying their rent and giving them and their families food, paying for education, etc).
How about we train them to cleanup the superfund sites they helped create? This way they get to stay in the same place, and undo the damage that mining did to the area. Hell, they'd likely even be especially good for that since they'd know the area well. But nope, fuck it they couldn't possibly learn to do that. And no reason we should consider cleanup of these places, just leave them to continue to poison the region.
They haven't and they won't as long as people like you keep giving them reasons to go "the Democrats are just as bad if not worse!"
