Can't speak for other liberals, but I am fucking done. Let the GOP rape and pillage. I don't give a single fuck.

I still think this is the view of the person who isn't really affected by what happens. This isn't a vanity project where your feelings are hurt so you stop trying to help people.

It's rather quaint. He claimed that bringing to light how Native Americans are still treated like it's the 1800s, is some petty nonsense.

An American conservative that hates the Natives? No surprise there.

That's just a different variety of divisive bullshit. He's just lashing out rather than looking at it squarely. The way that Repubs deal with coal country is simply cruel. They can deregulate coal mining all to Hell & back & it won't overcome the economic forces that reduce demand. Coal operators just get a smash & grab opportunity on the way out the door.

The coal jobs aren't coming back anytime RSN. It simply won't happen. So if we want to do anything about the situation we need to do something else.

I'd agree if Democrats weren't punished at the polls for trying to help. America doesn't want help. Fuck 'em.

I have a friend that works in a power plant.

They converted to coal because they were forced to and now they are going to fire up the cheap and dirty coal plants again and shutter the NG plant.

How and why were they forced to?

It's a brilliant strategy that conservatives have used for decades to keep their voters loyal: "eliminate evil regulations!" that promise to keep their jobs (they never do), all the while, those eliminated regulations allow heavy metals and industrial waste to pollute those voters' water supplies, keeping them poisoned, stupid (malformed, arrested brain development) for generations, to keep them as loyal, unquestioning simpletons that respond only to simple, monosyllabic talking points.

It's really quite shrewd.
It's not just people here who have used that strategy. Look at China.

Elites don't want competition, no matter what they choose to call themselves. Some groups of elites are just a tad more benevolent than others.

Just trollin', huh?
Of course not, and laughing at the rampant propaganda pics being posted in here by a bunch of ignorant Chicken Littles.

Here's the thing. The sky already fell in the past. We know that. We have proof. You only have to go back 70 years to find examples of people dying due to Smog poisoning in the United States (Donora Smog Incident). That's actually nothing compared to Great Smog of London where thousands of people died. You want the sky to fall again, for more thousands of people to die again, well then, keep writing I suppose.

He is also busy writing letters insisting that lead be added to paint again, that car emission regulations be removed, that ozone depleting substance be added back into aerosol..... you know sensible things that will improve the daily lives of us all.

You're one of the most stupid and ignorant people here. If you had only graduated high school, you wouldn't be such an idiot.

That's kind of different though. China intentionally rejected environmental standards to quickly overcome decades of Marxist economic and technological damage. Now that they are at or near the top, they are slowly instating environmental regulations. Basically China is experiencing a century of American progress in a quarter century, including the economical damage we inflicted on ourselves in pursuit of that progress. Once they rule the world, I'm sure they will get even more environmentally friendly, because environmentalism is a movement one has to be able to afford to embrace. Here we're talking about a nation at or near the top going backward. That might make sense if we were mining unobtanium and such environmental damage was required to win the war (assuming it was a war of survival anyway), but here we're talking about serious, lasting environmental damage to make it cheaper to mine freakin' coal.
