From someone who worked in the coal industry

1. That was a well-written piece detailing the impact of the purposeful destruction of an industry.

   A decision based on junk science and lies. And whose goal is to handicap us economically, and thereby weaken us, and eventually impoverish us.

   And done in concert with replacing us.

   It’s difficult to enjoy the end-game of the decline. The slope is getting close to vertical.

2. Nothing comes next.
   First we lost underground coal mining.
   Then we lost forestry.
   Little by little we are losing sugar beet processing.
   Our beef industry is an obvious target of the woke, over-schooled and under-educated ninnies.
   Our single sawmill hangs on, I’m not sure quite how.
   Nothing replaces those jobs.
