And btw, choosing fam first is a thing to admire.
    That and I'm 50 years old. It's not easy changing countries for anybody anywhere on the planet. Don't think it is. That being said if I were 18-22 again I'd be out of here.

      List scenarios where being employed and doing your job to the letter of the law (legally) would still make an employee not, "completely innocent".

        I get Rube's point. Being happy to collect a paycheck from an employer that you know is ruining the environment where you live makes you somewhat culpable. Sort of like how we blame the good Germans that did nothing when they saw what was going on.

        Now, if these people are ignorant enough to believe that mining is not bad for the environment, or if the employer claims to be following all the regulations and not harming the environment I'd place blame only on the company (and regulators/lack of regulation).

          Sure. The free market solves all of our problems. That's why all those folks who lost jobs when their coal plant shut down, or the car plant shut down easily found replacement jobs. Free market. And, that's why Flint Michigan has always had clean water. Free market. And that's why once we had one oil spill we never had another oil spill. Free market.

          And for crying out loud, this myth about wage disparity. The private sector is already solving it. Look at how those stock buybacks with the last tax cut fixed all that stuff.

              Their wells are poisoned. They have to waste quite a bit of the money they make on bottled water to drink/cook with. As evidenced by the original article I posted, I don't think most of them are very happy about it.

              Their employer (and not everyone in the area is employed by this mine, I guarantee you) only **allegedly** follows the regulations they are required to follow. Which in WVa, thanks to lobbying, are much slimmer than they should be.

                              That brief history of the post-war US is something else. It is apparently what passes for education in Alabama.

                                From The Hill write up:

                                The newspaper publisher told the Advertiser that he was “not calling for the lynchings of Americans.”

                                “These are socialist-communists we're talking about,” he continued.

                                Asked if the KKK was a "racist and violent organization," Sutton compared the KKK to the NAACP, according to the paper.

                                "A violent organization? Well, they didn't kill but a few people," Sutton claimed. "The Klan wasn't violent until they needed to be."
                                Who knew lynchings were non-violent...
