    He does point out that global markets are fickle and fluctuations in economic growth as well as trade policy decisions...
    Increasing tonnage for export is not the point..Coal jobs are NOT coming back.. Production is driven by robotics.. HM seems to miss the point that its about JOBS and pay checks. That's where Trump has deceived and short-changed coal miners.

    When the Titanic sank, the bow slipped underwater and the stern rose. The ship was not strong enough to support half of the vessel like that and it broke her in the middle.

    For the people clinging to the stern section, when the bow section broke off and relieved the stern section of all that weight, the stern section temporarily floated higher. They must have felt like their prayers were being answered and somehow the ship had stopped sinking and begun to rise up.

    For anybody clinging to coal, some increased exports might give them similar temporary hope.

    But it's just like the Titanic. Coal is going down.

    The increased exports only indicate that foreign countries have not been able to make the capital investments to switch over to natural gas yet.

    They will. And just as surely as the people on the stern section of the Titanic were doomed, so is coal.

    your assertion that Australia opening new coal mines will spur US exports to Asia is irrational

    Did you get your HIV vaccine before you went?

    I hear some of those Thai "Ladyboys" you go there to buy sexual favors from don't care who they have unprotected sex with.

    Especially the fat, ugly kind you go after.

    Meanwhile here is a picture of some Thai bullshit for you to savour.

    Good.

    I hope they all close.

    I hope all the miners develop black lung, and I hope none of them can afford treatment, and I hope they and their families go bankrupt and suffer and die.

    These assholes could have been putting solar panels on roofs in the fresh air for the last 40 years, but chose Conservatism instead.

    So fuck them all. I hope their deaths are painful, agonizing, and prolonged.
    When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist

    Maybe you should take another look at 12b.

    I said nothing related to minors or children.

    The term "Ladyboy" in Thai culture has nothing to do with minors or anyone under legal age.

    Better luck next time.

    I understand your anger and frustration with these dumb hicks, but that's a bit extreme.

    Ladyboy
    A slang term for a transsexual prostitutes in Southeast Asia, especially Thailand but the term originated in the Philippines.
    You might not be able to tell the difference between the ladyboys and actual ladies on Walking Street.
