Oh, wait... it’s coming back to me now.
That was four years and several thousand jobs ago. And the head UMWA goonions are gonna be hard-pressed to convince a man in PA, MD, WV, OH, or anywhere else which lever to pull behind the curtain when the EPA permit at their job site's been pulled by The Kenyan's lackeys, and they have a wife, kids, and a stack of bills that depended on that paycheck. Maybe it was fool me once in '08 when they followed their marching orders, but rest assured they won't make the same mistake again when they can barely afford to put a skillet of Hamburger Helper on the dinner table now. I was born and raised in coal country, and while those folks may carry a union card, an unemployment check is no substitute for the bacon they brought home after spending all day in a dim shaft in the ground.
