OK, plan B: NO money. Zero. None. As in, GTFO, you have no jobs, here’s a cardboard box.
You do that, while I’m sipping a tropical cocktail on the beach and living like a Pasha on under $1,000 a month.

Where would that be?
Where?
Thanks. I will.
“Republicans led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have vowed to fight the regulations tooth and nail”
You arent going to do anything mcconnell. Same as you have the past 6 years.
Hey, coal miners unions, congrats on your candidate obama winning back in 2008. Not only has he put you out of your jobs, but soon your towns will be ghost towns if his agenda isnt reversed.
You can survive on that, but it will help to have a little more, but yes, you can sip cocktails on the beach. Everyone else does. 😎 Google Paradise Island beach resort, at the Island Garden City of Samal. I knew there was a reason they call it Paradise Island. 🇵🇭
wv went with mccain and romney. romney got 63%
soon your towns will be ghost towns ==

"The case, brought by coal company Murray Energy and a coalition of states led by West Virginia, ..."
How did this coalition of states argue its case? All that they need to argue is the following. Not only have the states never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate environmental issues, but even if the states had done so then theres another constitutional problem.
More specifically, the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide them from Congress, to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected government bureaucrats like the ones running the EPA. So Congress has a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative / regulatory powers whether it wants it or not.
So by unconstitutionally delegating federal legislative / regulatory powers to non-elected bureaucrats, not only is corrupt Congress wrongly protecting such powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above, but Congress is delegating powers that it doesnt have in the first place!
But lacking the necessary votes to override a presidential veto [emphasis added], McConnell's bid to sink the rule looks more likely to succeed in the courts than in Congress."
Note the irony that Sen. McConnell would possibly have the necessary Senate votes to work with the House to override a presidential veto (1.7.2) of a bill to stop the EPA if the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A) hadnt been ratified, except that if 17A hadnt been ratified then RINO McConnell probably would not have been elected to office imo.
But also consider that if 17A had never been ratified then the EPA probably wouldnt exist today, at least not without the Senate doing its job to protect the states by leading Congress to successfully propose the necessary amendments to the Constitution to the states before establishing the EPA.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and a bunch of corrupt senators and constitutionally clueless EPA bureaucrats along with it.
The 12 coal states(with electoral votes) that were a party to this lawsuit were Alabama(9), Indiana(11), Kansas(6), Kentucky(8), Louisiana(9), Nebraska(5), Ohio(20), Oklahoma(7), South Dakota(3), South Carolina(8), West Virginia(5), and Wyoming(3)

Did you move again???
Nope. Just looking at Plan B alternatives.
I am so ready.
I have read articles and discussions about this subject for years, now, and one total lapse from the opposition is too obvious to ignore, yet it has never even been mentioned...
The Federal Rules of Evidence, which exist for the very purpose of either preventing the ignoring of science, or prostituting Science in criminal and civil cases has never been applied!
Yet no GOP "Leadership," or other "conservative" entity with standing to challenge this elephant in the courtroom has come forward to challenge this omission.
It is a monumental lapse incredible beyond belief!
You can survive on that, but it will help to have a little more, but yes, you can sip cocktails on the beach. Everyone else does. -Mark
It became a reality for me in February, 2013. Though I prefer a good glass of whiskey or brandy, but the beach is quite close. The only adaptation needed is to the incessant heat. To the Filipinos, 80 is cool. The food is what you make it.
We recently started business here, buying a used small bus, and building a food truck. We are locating along the street in front of the most affluent University in Davao City, Ateneo de Davao U. Customers are coming for our American Style burgers and Mexican Tacos. They can buy street foods at local eateries at lesser prices, but they appreciate things of a foreign nature.
Seafood and rice normally makes a large part of the Pinoy diet. I love the fresh seafood, and shop at S&R (just like Costco) for imported New Zealand beef and other things.
We won't get rich from it, but since I am 67, and my sweetheart is just turned 31, I wanted to give her some future security. It is her business, as I am disallowed from working here without proper permits. No worries, since I have my fabulous SS pension. Anther reason for the business is for when the SS checks stop!
Though Southwestern Mindanao makes the news with Muzzie problems, Davao City is far safer than any big city I see in the USA. I go about town without worry. Nearly every business employees ARMED security guards, and the Police and Army have a visible presence.
The Philippines has a large and growing foreigner population, many married to Filipinas. For those wanting companionship, many of the young ladies are looking for the security and are happy to join your life. But, when that happens, be aware they have a large extended family. My MIL and FIL are at our home now, since our full time housekeeper/cook left and we are looking for a replacement. We have a Doberman that we don't want to leave by himself!
Life is good here. I have no plans to ever go back to live in what is left of the USA. It is not the place I knew growing up. With the policies of the last administrations, they have bankrupted the system, and made it difficult for anyone to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I don't see it improving so much in my lifetime, that I wish to return. The cost of living here makes us comfortable. The quality of life is good enough.
Is it the best place in the world? I can't say it is, but it is best for me, and my friend, Mark17! He's my neighbor and almost brother-in-law, as our partners are sisters!
Mark, on the left is retired USAF. The guy in the middle is a retired USArmy champion sharpshooter. I am USNavy (VietNam era, but not career). There are several USMC retired here that I know. For all of us, it is now our home.
The photo was from last Thanksgiving...
Thought about that bit and wanted to clarify.
We invited the MIL and FIL to come and stay at our home while we are looking for help. The came and are a pleasure to have around. I don't yet speak Bisaya, the local dialect, but communicate well with them. MIL was mopping our floors just before I took my shower.
The large families here are normal. The tension is normal as well. They depend on each other to make it sometimes, as work comes and goes. Many families sleep in the same room, and most of them sleep in their clothing. They seem happy to have a place to keep our of the rain and sun.
While poverty is quite visible here, affluence is gaining. The number of new gas stations here tells me there are more cars. Subdivisions are everywhere with gates and guards, but they also high-rise condos for sale or rent.
We pay 5000Php for rent (about $120 USD) and 3000PhP for our housekeeper. We have satellite TV (w/FoxNews and Nascar and more), cellphone and DSL. Davao City has the third ranked water system in Asia. I drink it every day!
