I understand that Hunter is having money problems. Maybe he should learn to code. I’m just sayin’

This clown had NEVER worked an honest day in his life. He’s been a political hack and he’s been getting rich off the taxpayers for fifty years.

Yes, and telling blogger / journOlists to learn to code when they lose their jobs is considered hate speech.

“Learn to code...”

I don’t need all that much help, really. I wrote the web shortly after AlGore invented the internet. It’s mostly just maintenance work now.

As a programmer, my advice to the miners is: first, look at the rich guy, who doesn’t know how to code, telling you to learn code. Then, realize that you KNOW you could do HIS job.

Forget coding, Learn to Campaign!

Another advantage for former miners, if running as Democrats, is that a history of appearing in black face seems to be valued experience these days.

Seems like the message for folks in coal country should be the same as is often given to Blacks in the ghettos and Hispanics in the barrios, get an education and move to someplace that is more prosperous and hiring.

The thought of that man being President should frighten everyone.


Should especially frighten women, children, state troopers and biker chicks.

The groups that promised to teach people to code were fake.

You get kicked off Twitter for telling reporters what Biden told coal miners ... who are poorer, less educated and officially lower class.

And Big Tech censors people who tell laid off reporters to “learn to code”.

“2. Journalists should learn to code “

Given equal training and time, I’ll bet the coal miners would come out on top in computer programming over journalists. Easily, too. Of course, the journalists would then sue because the tests were biased.

a West Virginia Nonprofit Promising to Teach Them to Code Was a Scam

Some years ago I visited a data center in West Virginia to try and understand how they were recording data in their mainframe and how we could improve the results. These were medical records put into a database. I was trying to use the "data dumps" from the mainframe to convert it to useful information for a corporation's medical plan/preferred provider network.

Virtually every employee was an unkempt overweight woman who did not appear to be "well educated"--trying to be nice about it.

The data I had to work with was so full of "garbage"/wrong information that it could not be improved, reinforcing the old axiom, "garbage in, garbage out."
