If you take away people’s ability to provide for themselves and their families you’re bound to make enemies and that’s due to hurting people. It says a lot about what one calls progress
I would suggest helping those people move on to something else that enables them to care for their families. It’ll make change far more palatable and is better for people
- adrianN 7y agoWhat would be concrete actions that enable someone in their late forties or early fifties to find a new job when the whole industry they've worked in so far basically disappears? Say someone working at a coal plant, or someone assembling ICEs? Who will hire them?
- iagovar 7y agoIf they don't find anything related, tangential etc, nobody. That's the reality we are facing off. In Spain several coal mines shut off. The initial idea was to just retire this people. In some cases they made them hop trough some recolocation programs. IMO retiring people is just cheaper. The administrative overhead of managing this people is not worth the cost.

- mfer 7y agoThere are programs for this. I know people who have gone through them. I think the issue is they need to be funded. I’d defer to the experts on this.
