Stossel, Beck, someone needs to go chase this guy down and do an interview and get this some exposure. There are a lot of Ronnie Bryants out there right now.

He’s obviously a racist for trying to shaft the economy and Husein.

Ping; worth the read for sure.

justsaynomore - Herman ought to consider visiting with this guy.

It's all a part of the plan.

"My name’s Ronnie Bryant, and I’m a mine operator. I’ve been issued a [state] permit in the recent past for [waste water] discharge, and after standing in this room today listening to the comments being made by the people…. [pause] Nearly every day without fail — I have a different perspective — men stream to these [mining] operations looking for work in Walker County. They can’t pay their mortgage. They can’t pay their car note. They can’t feed their families. They don’t have health insurance. And as I stand here today, I just … you know … what’s the use? I got a permit to open up an underground coal mine that would employ probably 125 people. They’d be paid wages from $50,000 to $150,000 a year. We would consume probably $50 million to $60 million in consumables a year, putting more men to work. And my only idea today is to go home. What’s the use? I don’t know. I mean, I see these guys — I see them with tears in their eyes — looking for work. And if there’s so much opposition to these guys making a living, I feel like there’s no need in me putting out the effort to provide work for them. So as I stood against the wall here today, basically what I’ve decided is not to open the mine. I’m just quitting. Thank you."

Who is John Galt Ronnie Bryant?

Problem is that probably a lot of the people at the meeting don’t even live in the area. Coal production is growing in the U.S. as the export markets are the future. Our utilities will be going up 30-50% while developing countries will enjoy cheap power.

Been in this business for 34 years and the small operator is being squeezed out by regulations. If they can’t pass on these regulatory costs to the utility they have to eat them which equals costs that cannot compete.

And the administration wonders why

Very sad. Some mornings in Obamaland, it is hard to get out of bed. What’s the point?

[Paine in the Neck]

There are a lot of Ronnie Bryants out there right now.

I'm one. When Axelrod's Obama v. 0.9, Deval Patrick, was elected governor in Mass I shut down my business and began the process of moving to TX. Even now that I'm in TX I will not start up a new business until the socialists who control DC are put on the run.

Who is John Galt?

Agreed...this is HUGE, and needs wider exposure.

Ping. If the link doesn’t work, there’s a Google cache link in #6. I think this is going viral and his server is getting hammered.

“There are a lot of Ronnie Bryants out there right now.”

Yep! I am one of them also. I closed my business two+ years ago and retired to Myrtle Beach. We trust in God for our provision daily, grow most of our own produce, drive older cars, do all of our own repairs, fish a good bit more than I used to, hunt when the snakes aren’t too aggressive, and live quite well on my meager social security benefits.

I may crank up another business in the future, but not if the government doesn’t change direction. More than likely we will drop completely off the grid when it is just my wife and I.
