“Stunning how out of touch politicians can really be.” Ain’t it though! coming from the woman who hasn’t driven a car herself in 30 years or so...
Yeah, Hillary wants to put Solyndra II in West Virginia - since it worked out so well for California.
Greta didn’t get it either. Greta could not grasp why the miners would not want to change careers or why they would see government job training/career services as a hand out. She also could not grasp that we still need the coal powered generators because solar and wind is not creating enough power to begin to replace coal at this point.
I wonder how Greta would like it if someone told her we no longer need TV personalities? Would she like to be told she would lose her job, be retrained and have a new career? With no input from her even asked for during the process?
The spokesman for the coal miners also pointed out there are no other jobs in that area to retrain for; they would have to relocate and what about their homes? No one would buy their homes. Some are not only are coal miners but own small businesses in the area, or their spouse does or spouses work jobs that are not mining jobs. What about that, the whole economy of the area would tank? Hillary’s plan has no answers for these people but they shouldn’t be angry.
Greta could not figure out why the miners were not willing to just go along with it.
