        “My grandpa worked at the gives-orphans-cancer factory until he died of cancer, my daddy worked at the gives-orphans-cancer factory until he died of cancer, I’ve been working at the gives-orphans-cancer factory for the last twenty five years and by God I’m proud of my recent cancer diagnosis, and I will fight with every fiber of my being to make sure that my son grows up to work at the gives-orphans-cancer factory!”

        Hopefully Ford’s massive investment into EV and battery factories in Kentucky will help Kentuckians appreciate electrical power for providing jobs just as easily as coal did.

        I see no reason every coal miner can’t become a solar/renewable installer and technician. There are fields of panels across the Midwest already, someone has to build and maintain those and it’s certainly safer than being underground

          Mitch McConnell’s retirement should help too, time will tell.

        go bitch about your local government fucking up your entire community, rather than pissing and shitting yourself over the fact that the one egg in your basket didn’t fucking hatch.

        I get why people are so mad, but like, jesus fucking christ, try to be mad about shit at least a little bit correctly.
