Just how much of a leftist is Joe Biden?
Remarks that Biden made in December 2019 about the flexible abilities of coal miners are a revelatory starting point.
Campaigning in New Hampshire, the former vice president argued with considerable pique, "Anybody who can go down 3,000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well. ...

And anyone who can drive a race car can juggle live catfish.
I'm sure some miners can learn to program, but the two have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
I don’t know how anyone with half a frontal lobe can vote for them demented criminal Hiden/Ho. They have said numerous times they will ban fracking and numerous times the opposite !
During the last debate, demented Basement Hole said he’d ban oil and gas industries down to nothing. The next day, he goes back on THAT TOO.
Biden Criminal Demonrat is a loser and will lose this election FAIRLY.
He had only 10 or so people listening to him in Pennsylvania today compared to Trumps crowds of thousands!
Basically NO ONE WANTS the Hiden/Ho ticket.
And still the THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA CLAIMS HE IS RUNNING AHEAD????
I smell a SET UP for MASSIVE MAIL IN VOTING FRAUD!
They will NOT get away with it!
It’s TOO OBVIOUS WHO’S RUNNING AHEAD and that is PDJT!
Trump WILL WIN.
Every time I hear Joe Biden speak he mentions Scranton but it’s no secret that his family moved to Deleware when he was 11 years old in 1953. So what is the big deal about Scranton, PA that Joe has to keep referring to it rather than Claymont, then Wilmington, DE?
Hey Joe, learn to code!
My dad and uncle are two very good heavy equipment operators and mechanics that have a construction company.
The most basic computer stuff they need some help.
Me and computer hardware get along well.
Programming was something I could never really get the hang of.
He knows Delaware is in the bag but he thinks he might win Pennsylvania, so he's campaigning as if he's "one of them".
Don't feel bad, despite what Biden says, most coal miners can't do it because most people can't do it. It takes an intense attention to detail (a rocket was once lost due to a missing comma). Also, writing code is to predict the future-you have to predict the incoming data stream and decide in advance what to do about it in many, many different combinations.
“Anybody who can go down 3,000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well.”
Actually no they can’t.
I smell it also. Voting by mail used to be a chouce...now it is required...not good!

24 Oct: The Hill: Biden’s oil stance jars Democrats in tough races
By Alexander Bolton
Joe Biden’s vow to phase out the oil industry at Thursday’s debate creates a problem for Democratic candidates in red-leaning states and swing House districts as it gives Republicans an opening to tie them to their party’s left wing...
“Biden has rolled out nothing short of an entirely left-wing economic agenda and has never been forced to defend it on a public stage until Thursday,” said Josh Holmes, a Republican strategist and McConnell’s former chief of staff.
Holmes said Biden’s comments on oil could have “profound effect” in states such as Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Texas and others were there is what he called “a culture of energy production.”
“I’ve always thought that reminding the American people what economic policy came out of the Obama-Biden administration is a powerful reelection message for Donald Trump,” he added.
Biden’s remarks will give Republicans a chance to put the economy and regulation in the spotlight for the final 10 days of the campaign, something they’ve wanted to do for months...
Biden’s statement also put vulnerable House Democrats on the defensive...

I was a 20+ year programmer. The math needed to program took me years to learn in college. Often, I’d be handed a PDF datasheet which gave the details of a specific microprocessor, and a processor software development kit, and was told to make it perform some function, such as being the core of an instrument, etc. Not everyone can code, and there are not that many good coders, simply because the foreign developers have come to this country and work for peanuts on the dollar.
No intelligent person should go into programming at this point, as the field will soon be dominated by AI computers that will write their own code. Kind of scary that AI has reached the point where it will be able to plot it’s own evolution.
Well, I was borned a coal miner’s daughter
In a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor but we had love
That’s the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man’s dollar
Yes, H1 visas dominate programming.
It is a catch 22 situation - the companies argue that they have not enough workers, get cheap foreign replacements and then US citizens after investing a lot of time and money learning this, will get no jobs, or poor man jobs. So lot of people gave up to even go for that. And so there is a “shortage”. and H1 visas again.
Trying to think which of those would be the best language for a crackhead. Maybe javascript.
“Anybody who can go down 3,000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well”
The insane mantra of the left... who think that an America based on cube farms, coders, and immi-grunts doing all the hard labor will be sustainable.
Large countries do not succeed without heavy industry.
Coal is synonymous with heavy industry. Green power is not produced at night or when the wind stops blowing... hydro is out where the dams are...
Coal fired boilers keep it all running when the green backbone isn’t producing and the storage is used up.
We should be advancing towards green resources. But only a fool thinks it can be accomplished at the snap of the fingers. A level-headed projection might be 100+ years for technology to mature. That’s engineering 101 for a project of that scale.
I’m gonna paraphrase that Jordan fellow a bit here... Politicians think a decade. And the cost will break the taxpayers back. At what cost to the global brain trust? Abortion and hunger and war is killing off a lot of potential. Most of the political “plans” out there aren’t plans at all, they’re wish lists that every special interest has their iwn special input. That will never work.
Hear it for yourself... Greta dipstck starts it off for a few seconds, then segues to Jordan Perterson explaining how the supposed approach won’t work.
There is an approach but it there are a few preliminary adjustments to the global status quo that need to change.
Agree. I have a degree in computer science. I finished with a B average, but it was extremely difficult, I did not enjoy it and never used it.
I would like to see an idiot like Biden or Obama try to do it for a living.
Writing good codes is difficult i think I’m finally getting okay at it after 24 years and lots of hard work. Sometimes it doesn’t completely suck. Sadly it’s better than most
