Biden tells coal miners to "learn to code"
The Hill ^ | 12/31/19 2 hrs ago | Alexandra Kelley

Posted on 12/31/2019 3:46:28 PM PST by conservative98

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!”

There is no way you are a better coder than Biden is at being a total idiot. I would say this the greatest coder who walk this planet.

Plugs has been a blustering clueless buffoon his entire adult life.

But throw in his dementia, and you have an angry old geezer completely TOTALLY lacking in self-awareness.

A stupid boy grows up to be a stupid man, then a stupid old man. That’s Plugs’ life story.

hey, if miners can throw coal then they should be able to transition to anything—maybe an abortionist.

Slow Joe’s Hillary Clinton moment. Clue that in swing states. He just lost the election.

Telling working class stiffs to learn to code is not relating to them. Just the exact opposite.

Thats how they get those coal trains out, by shoveling coal into the steam engines.

I thought the author was being figurative in the title.

I can't believe this dumb fkr actually said this - no wonder they don't want to let him out in public.

Slow Joe is a walking gaffe machine. He says the stupidest things possible and no one can make him stay on message.

Malarkey, indeed.

There may be a few minors in Derry but there are no miners.

Biden, get off your ass and shovel some coal. Preferably in a penitentiary for selling out to Russia and China you traitor.

It’s too dam bad you are so old cause it would take a thousand years to pay back for Russia alone.

One of the pithiest summations of the Leftist mindset:

“Not living your life the way they demand.” Well stated, FRiend Williams.

Strip away the Marxist philosophy and these RATs are just old-fashioned busybodies. Their natural home is on neighborhood association or condo boards.

“Twitter was banning conservatives for telling urinalists to learn to code.”

My sister was banned from Twitter when she did that very thing.

Arrogant putz! It’s that coal that makes electronics work. Let’s send Biden down to mine us more coal.

Perhaps you're right. Biden is a gaffe machine, proving his idiocy daily. Decades ago, for one job I took a 3-hour exam on logic skills to get a programming job. Only 6 including me were selected from 400 or so applicants taking the test, and it included an interview panel. Logic skills are necessary in order to code for computing. I'm not saying a coal miner couldn't code, but the majority of coal miners most likely would not be able to sufficiently learn how to code in order to earn a decent living as compared to what they earn mining coal.
