Coal mining was once a way of life for many Americans. So was farmng. Economies transition. I know it’s tough to go into a new field and line of work but why should miners and steel workers be coddled and told otherwise? By all means, revitaize these areas negatively impacted by the loss of jobs but coal and steel aren’t what they were in our grandparents’ lives just as agriculture wasn’t for them what is was for their grandparents.
