I bet you had a fit when the VCR industry disappeared.

I haven't been able to find my "white priviĺege" either.
The only white privilege I have is the privilege to pay taxes so the gimmethats can lay around on their azzes and do more "breeding for cash". Maybe I left it at one of the jobs I had while coming up and making my way, starting with baby sitting and cleaning houses when I was 13 years old.

Its one thing for one's job to disappear from obsolescence, its another when the government knowingly kills it. Coal's making a comeback, BTW.

Hmm...Well, maybe white privilege doesn't refer to you(or the working class)....
Coal won't be making a 'comeback' any more than the VCR. Can one of you tell the no-eyed crow that it's gonna be hard 'going back' to the 21st century, and why.

"In its first Short-Term Energy Outlook of the year, the EIA estimates electric power sector coal consumption will increase by 6%, or 41 million st, year over year to 720 million st on higher natural gas prices and increased electricity generation."

"U.S. coal exports have jumped more than 60 percent this year due to soaring demand from Europe and Asia, according to a Reuters review of government data, allowing President Donald Trump's administration to claim that efforts to revive the battered industry are working. "

I hope you read the article. It states all the reasons the jump is temporary and won't last, but you keep on trying to bring back the VCR.
Due to Europe abandoning their nuclear power plants and finding alternate energy exorbitant cost wise, their only alternatives are coal and Russian NG.
Globally, nuclear power has been reduced 0.7%. A vast majority of Europe is going to renewable energy sources, not coal.
"Germany will stop subsidising solar energy by 2018 at the latest, its environment minister said Monday after last year initiating a scaling-back of generous state support for the faltering industry.
Peter Altmaier of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union had fought to set a ceiling of solar power capacity above which the government would no longer offer its financial backing.
He said Monday that the limit of 52 gigawatts would be reached by 2017 or 2018. Currently solar panels installed in Germany generate 34 gigawatts of power.
"The development of solar energy ran out of control in the last three years," Altmaier told a news conference.
Germany has seen a wave of solar company insolvencies and the number of people employed in the industry fell to 87,000 in 2012 from 110,900 a year earlier, while sales plummeted by 11.9 billion euros, according to government figures.

"Germany Abandons Green Energy, Returns To Coal"

"Germany plans to stop building new wind farms by 2019, gradually turning away from its $1.1 trillion wind power program, according to a Thursday report in Berliner Zeitung.
The government plans to cap the total amount of wind energy at 40 to 45 percent of national capacity, according to the report. By 2019, this policy would cause a massive reduction of 6,000 megawatts of wind power capacity compared to the end of 2015's capacity.
The domestic market for many [wind turbine] manufacturers collapses completely, Julia Verlinden, a spokesperson for the German Green Party, told Berliner Zeitung. With their plan, the federal government is killing the wind companies. Verlinden goes on to blame the political influence of old, fossil fuel power plants.

Germany's legislature voted Friday to sharply cut back on subsidies and other financial incentives supporting green energy due to the strain wind and solar power placed on the country's electricity grid.
Germany's government plans to replace most of the subsidies for local green energy with a system of competitive auctions where the cheapest electricity wins. The average German pays 39 cents per kilowatt-hour for electricity due to intense fiscal support for green energy. The average American only spends 10.4 cents per kilowatt-hour.

Frogs are back tracking on closing nuclear plants.
"French environment minister Nicolas Hulot, a well-known environmentalist, admitted on Tuesday that it will be difficult to close nuclear plants and reduce the proportion of electricity generated from nuclear to 50 percent by 2025, as the previous socialist-dominated parliament decided in 2015. French grid operator RTE warned earlier this week in its 2017-2035 Electricity Outlook that there could be risks of power supply shortages if the plans were not changed."

I don't have to waste my time showing you articles that state the opposite. I can just wait and let the whole 'coal thing' play out on its own.
Don't disturb progressive socialists with facts. Their minds, such as they are, are already made up.

As the tagline of the commercial says, "priceless".
Didn't Hillary and Obama at one time promise to bring back the coal miner's jobs, only to turn on them later? The miners, along with Native Americans, need to unite and start making some noise and demands. For us to sit and watch other pampered groups and foreigners whine and get special treatment while these go without even the basic help is ridiculous and shameful.
After watching all of those howling at the moon, I'm tempted to stock up on silver bullets.

I've mentioned before that there is a movement to pull Native Americans into the fight blacks have with the country. I told one lady to leave me alone about it, that no black person had ever done a **** thing for me, or showed any interest before in helping Native Americans. It's been the opposite, just name calling from them and demands for what THEY want. I think, and sincerely hope, that is just what most NA are telling them.
