Hey, I don't even know any coal miners TYVM!Just when you thought the hair sniffing creep couldn't be more out of touch.
Anybody who can actual code know this is bullshit.“Anybody who can go down 3000 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!”
Don't all the coding jobs go to H1-B visa people from India?
Its more profitable and less physically demanding to be a politician anyhow. Lifetime medical and all.
Anyone can learn to lie, cheat and steal, right?
Is he or .gov going to pay for this new education? My guess is no. In which case, it's just a smattering of bullshit.
The coal industry is a dying industry. Very little can be done to save it. And I think much needs to be done to help coal miners and others in coal country retool and get jobs that they can earn a living on while still staying in their communities. But this smacks of ignorance and outright idiocy. Right up there with buy a double barreled shotgun and fire it into the air if somebody is trying to break into your house. Then again, those comments are the same person so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
I dont entirely disagree but- what are those jobs and in what industries, and who will pay to start those businesses where they do not currently exist (and they do not exist in these communities for a myriad number of self-reinforcing problems)?
FIFYThat will get him kicked off of TWATTER!
