There’s only one left for him to do: vote Democrat just to show those cruel heartless republicans. /sarc
flee?
in a welfare state?

I fled West Virginia. Only lived there 4 years, but that was 4 years wasted, that I’ll never get back. WV can keep their banjos, narrow roads and those mole hills they call mountains.
I might be persuaded to feel badly for Mr. Estep and his co-workers but, having been to Logan and surrounding environs many times, I have this sneaking suspicion that they all voted for Obama.
lol
Yup, keep voting dem and see what happens.
The story is not only about what environmentalism has done to the industry, it’s what the United Mine Workers Union did to it too.
Unionized businesses are like giant slugs that can’t move or do anything quickly or adapt to changes. The slime that holds them down is the Union and its marriage to the National Labor Board and cronyism and pandering that produces only a positive benefit for its ranking leaders and members. The “worker bee” is simply forgotten.
We have the worlds largest reserves of coal and look how the liberal environmental Nazis have destroyed the businesses and professions that can get it out of the ground and actually use it for energy.
Political Correctness is destroying our nation.
Raise the import tariffs and bring back American industries.
This would probably help the coal industry, but even if it doesn’t, there would be more jobs. And the tighter the job market is, the more companies seek out low wage, high unemployment areas.

Not much to do in Logan or elsewhere except coal, teach school, be a cop.

Obama announced in 2008 he would put the coal companies out of business. There has been a trend of non-union coal for the last 20 years. Large unionized companies selling off mines 1 at a time to smaller companies.
Obama’s moves are effecting all of them.
Don’t know that one. Familiar with Holden and Dehue. I think Dehue shut down.
My brother-in-law retired and my mom moved to VA, so I’ve been out of touch.
Might go to my cousins reunion next July 1 at Chief Logan Park or they may have it in the elementary school in Dehue.
This is a war being won by Obama and the enviros. Where is the army on the coal miners side. Once upon a time the UMW was a feared and fearsome force, now = nothing.
BUT these inbred RETARDS will continue to vote DEMOCRATE! A$$HOLES!
I did a search looks like it’s in va. Can you name a nearby town?
