re: #202 Anymouse

It’s been noticed in my town that over the last few years fewer coal trains come east through town. (Wyoming is coal country as well.) Given the opportunity, I have explained what’s really killing coal (technology has rendered it obsolete as a fuel source at any price). It is not foreigners taking jobs or other such nonsense.

Coal is symbolic. It stands for well-paid jobs with benefits for poorly educated white people. That is the promise that DT got elected on.
