War on coal! Turns out most of it is because of the “free market.”

Yeah, it’s a funny thing. Everyone loves the “free market” until it shits all over them. But rather than admit that maybe the magical invisible hand isn’t that great a thing, they look for someone else to blame.

See also: DEY TUK R JERBS! Nobody ever “took” a job, they just offered to do a comparable job for a lower price (or a worse job for a low enough price to justify it). Supply and demand, the “free market” isn’t so great when your livelihood is the product, eh?
