As we move to clean energy, and cars that don’t require constant infusions of gas, oil, and tune-ups, replacement of thousands of superfluous moving parts… I do not recall these guys giving a shit about blue collar workers as corporations offshored jobs. Textiles. Ceramics. Steel. Jewelry.

So now we got Joe and this is suddenly a concern? Hmmm. Timing is everything.

It’s doable. For this Wyoming town, and great swathes of West Virginia.

Environmental repair will be lots of jobs for a few years — bulldozing dirt to fill in the holes and tunnels, replanting. Once that’s done, they’re well-situated to be a hunting and fishing tourist destination.

ETA: Buffalo ranching. Dude ranches for city people to enjoy the stunning scenery. And Wyoming is barely an hour flight from SF — fill it with Silicon Valley techies working remotely in a place where their kids can have horses.
