Do you think anyone really misses you when you've flamed out or gotten the umpteenth ban? You're barely mentioned. You have some serious issues going on dude. You should sort them out for your own sake if nobody else's.

If I had, you would never have known how they fooled you.

It's never pleasant to learn that, but here's a way to maybe avoid it in the future:

Whenever someone tells you something you really want to be true, it's time to be very skeptical.

Ironic you should say that...

Do you suppose if you left, anyone at all would ask you to come back? When I left, you at least had a sense of humor.

Don't panic; I'll likely be moving along before too long.

If we can get off your obsession for a moment, the OP calls.

As you see, there are numerous reasons why the jobs aren't coming back in the Appalachian coalfields. Technology, economics, and a reduction in easy coal deposits are doing what Trump cannot undo.

And as you see, some of Trump's own moves have made things worse. Fracking is the single largest economic disaster for coalmining jobs, and mechanization is the largest technological disaster for them.

Kmoney was telling me coal was never coming back. I guess his MSM sources forgot a few pertinent details.

That isn't what I said. What I did say is that regulations aren't the only thing hurting coal.

EDIT: looking back, one of the quotes in the articles did have a pretty grim view of coal making a comeback, but there were also industry people expressing some caution.

You have no idea if jobs will come back to the Appalachian coal fields or not.

People who know a great deal about it, say that they won't...

Robert Murray, founder and chief executive of Murray Energy—the nation's largest privately held coal mining company—told the Guardian that many mining jobs were lost to technology and competition, rather than regulation.

Trump can't really change that, Murray said.

Does that mean it's an absolute certainty that jobs will never come back? Is it as certain as the likelihood the sun will appear in the morning sky tomorrow given a clear sky?
