          Yup, but if you want to win an election you don’t tell potential voters “So, yeah, I’m going to end your industry and put you all out of work. LOL. Learn to code or something…”

            Exactly. Talk about the new jobs you’re going to create. Do NOT tell people you are banning their present livelihood. She would be insane to tell Pennsylvania voters she was planning to significantly restrict fracking.

            Better to tell potential voters “so, yea, I’m just going to pretend your drinking water isn’t being poisoned by industrial fossil fuel extraction because that would hurt a private industry that’s important for this other constituency. LOL drink bottled water or something”

              The constituents have priorities, and for some of them, livelihood comes before long-term health complications. At the end of the day, votes tell us which of those they value more.

                If only those long term health impacts were limited to the people who were deciding their livelihood was more important.
