Why? There have been warnings, economic indicators for years that coal was not sustainable. That coal based jobs would be destroyed. These folks had ample time to adjust their lifestyle, to retrain for new industries and such. Instead, not only did they not take proactive steps to remedy their situation, they fell for a hucksters false promises and voted for him.
Why should I respect these people?
- zaphar 8y agoThere are likely just as many structural reasons that people in coal country are still there as there are reasons for people in like income city neighborhoods to be stuck there. You are vastly oversimplifying both their responsibility and yours for the situation they are in.
