@kendallybrown: The same week the administration was crowing online about all the “mineral maxxing” they’re doing, we found out miners in Appalachia are being diagnosed with black lung at higher rates than we’ve seen in 50 years. As one expert put it, the administration sure seems to have a “love affair with the black rock, and not a love affair or compassion or concern for coal miners.” I couldn’t agree more. #economy #bluecollar #mining #appalachia #news
If only we could have predicted this! (Oh wait, that's why OSHA regulations exist)

This country... the EARTH... will NEVER recover from this regime. Never. The world as we knew it a decade ago is gone; morally, ecologically, economically, we're past the tipping point

There is a documentary about West VA that was made after the first term of Trump that shows the coal miners talking about, black lung and how they were not getting insurance to cover their medical care, how they don’t want their sons to go to work the mines, and that coal mining is dead . I am trying to remember where I watched it.

Because Fuck You, That's Why :
My family is in Appalachia, many of them worked in the coal mines for the entirety of their working life and ultimately developed Black Lung. They all suffered horribly from it and passed.

I highly recommend watching the documentary BLOOD ON THE MOUNTAIN. It’s free on YouTube. You can see exactly who the villains are.

I’d say unbelievable, but nothing surprises me anymore… he opposes clean energy, he should have his sons work in these mines and see how fast this would be fixed. Siding with the coal companies, I’ll still say unbelievable, but I’m not surprised. Thank you for bringing this to the forefront

We need legislation that forces coal companies to cover 100% of their current and former employees work-related health expenses. I guarantee that will get them to put safety measures in place real quick.

MIND YOU.... It's not just the mining industry that is fighting against silicon dust exposure regulation.... SO IS STAR-SHMUCKS... Starbucks' "blending powder" has silca and is being breathed in by baristas all day and they aren't allowed to mask up. MULTIPLE INDISTRIES are making sure to get everything deregulated during this regime .
