During a rally yesterday, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden spoke to a crowd in Derry, N.H., a town that many miners call home. He acknowledged the economic setbacks and job insecurity that coal miners face these days, and gave them some advice: learn to code.
According to Dave Weigel of the Washington Post, Biden said, “Anybody who can go down 3,000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well... Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God’s sake!”

What??? I live down the road from Derry, NH. There is not a coal mine in sight. How is it that this is a place a lot of “coal miners call home”?
He’s also a doofus if he thinks all they have to do is learn to write code to get a job. I think there is a lot more to it than that.

Good point. Seems he was doing a little free association there.
To: conservative98
Hey, Joe! Does Hunter know how to code?
or maybe
Think a miner could get a gig on the board of an energy company?

There is no coal mining in New Hampshire. I agree.
There must be something wrong with the reporting. I am not aware of coal mining in NH. And Derry, NH doesn't seem to have any sort of mining at all.
Such a stupid thing to say, and a stupid place to say it. Hard to believe that even Biden could screw up like that.
