>>20072860Just to explain further, I find it utterly depressing to work in a dying industry that's so despised in this country due to green propaganda. Even if I get in at Warrior (I'll know by the end of next week), coal is still a dying industry in the USA, since met coal only makes up like 20% of coal mining jobs in this country. Alabama coal will be booming, since 85% of their coal is metallurgical grade, but still, I will constantly be hearing stories from friends and acquaintances who couldn't make the jump to metallurgical and who are out of work or working part time and awaiting layoffs, and I will still be reading regularly about the evils of coal and the coal phase out, and I am sure even metallurgical coal will be targeted by the environmentalists after thermal coal is done away with, since they hate all coal, and the GEM website, which tracks all Western-nation coal mines (or tries to), lists the stats of met coal mines too, as they are targets for the greenies.
The greens want to end industrial civilization in the West and they are succeeding. The WEF plan is being implemented in Europe, North America, and Australia and New Zealand. The West is as authoritarian as Russia, and perhaps more so, but we have better press to hide it. In Europe, some apparatchik can issue an edict and shut down your farm just like that. Americans are probably more brainwashed than any other population due to the pervasiveness of the media here; no other part of the world spends so much on influencing thought, probably for the simple reason that other places can't afford so much propaganda.
So even if I get this job at Warrior, I feel like my future lies outside of America and likely outside of the West. I do think Western Civilization has done more for humanity than any other -- by a mile. But those achievements are mostly from the past. What we have today is degeneracy codified.
