We used to talk a lot about coal miners and their need to adjust to present day economic realities on TAT1.0. This is an interesting tweet thread.

That is exactly what needs to happen — new energy manufacturing (batteries, solar panels, etc.) should be in the depressed areas of old energy sources. Not only do they deserve the jobs, the regions have a history of energy production.

I guess I can talk from experience that the myth that oil/gas/coal workers can easily move to renewables is just that, a myth. The HR departments simply will not give you any opportunity because they see the set of skills as obsolete.
Resentment talking, BTW.

All these unwanted pregnancies should end up on these judges doorsteps along with stillbirths that have been forced to be carried. I also feel that any state with that law that allows you to sue people getting or helping with an abortion, should have every liberal sue every person that does that so there are literally millions of lawsuits. Sadly, for the most part, liberals lack the spine to be effective in those ways.

Acting like they were warned repeatedly that this would be the result.

Ah, why would anybody be surprised about Republican ignorance and their incapability to think things all the way through? Why would this be hard to envision?

^ It's amazing - and rather comical - how Nature continuously humbles mankind.

Or perhaps I should say how Nature's revenge continuously humbles mankind - because these floods, droughts, storms, etc. are often the result of humans abusing the planet and trying to manipulate Nature...
