I happen to be in favour of a model based on WPA to tackle unemployment in general, but coal doesn't have any special claims and should not be afforded any. I am aware that is essentially dooming West Virginia, but people will then simply have to move. No that is not easy. But if we allow one particular group to claim special rights, then all other groups will have similar requirements and we will end up in a situation where we will never be able to advance the state of the country, or the world. If we had chosen the "Luddite solution" back in the day, then instead of being obese we would have been starving. Essentially nobody would have learned to read or write, and we would have been happy to have two sets of clothes. No special rights were due then, no special rights are due today.
