Biden tells coal miners to "learn to code"

Equating working in a deep pit mine with throwing coal in a furnace is odd to say the least. He sounds 100% idiot.

Some one in history once said, “let them eat cake.”

[Does so]

NH does mine granite!

This is from a man who was in the Senate since the age of 29; when you factor in four years of college and three of law school, this means that Bozo Biden only spent a max of four years with a real job. So where does this boob get the personal work experience to have the gall to give stupid advice to others on how to get and do a job?

[Dr. Sivana]

Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God’s sake!

Good news for Mike Mulligan!

Allens is primarily a firewood processor and dealer. They do sell bagged coal, so perhaps they should take Joe Biden's advice and learn to code. But in reality they should just sharpen up their chainsaws and keep at it.

You can get a good look at their business on google maps.

Joe,

Are you willing to ship all the guest workers home so these newly minted coders can find employment?

A “woman owned business” — that means she has a billion dollars in federal contracts.

🎼Well, I was borned a code writer's daughter....

ELITIST personified!

“And another thing - you barely have to change the sign! Allens Coal Company... you just change the ‘a’ to an ‘e’ and the, uhm, no - that’s not right. Um, um the ‘a’ to a um - okay - you got to quiet down, um - I hear ya....”

[P-Marlowe]

Does Biden think that Baristas at Starbucks or hamburger flippers at McDonalds are “coding”?

[grimalkin]

Keep talking you senile old fool.

I suspect that the author, Alexandra Kelley, overpaid for her education at Kenyon college. Derry New Hampshire is not a coal mining town, and the only coal miners in Derry are probably people who came to visit their relatives for Christmas.

Apart from sand and aggregate, there isn't much of a mining industry anymore in New Hampshire.

I like that theory. Click my screen name. I’ve been forecasting for many months how Hillary could steal the election next year without even campaigning. My theory is she will do it through a brokered Democrat convention. And if in fact Joe Biden does make it to the convention as the front runner, He will likely drop out for “health reasons “.

And who will be there in the wings to take the delegates? You guessed it. Hillary.

Your gonna get your liberal ass handed to you with that Malarkey.

There aren't any coal mines in the northeast other than in Pennsylvania. There are some underground coal mines in Pennsylvania, but most new mines are surface mines.
