The people who could afford to move away and wanted to did.

2018-01-10 00:23:02 UTC  

same story for most the midwest

2018-01-10 00:23:04 UTC  

So the only people left we're too poor or too stubborn to leave.

2018-01-10 00:23:11 UTC  

Basically

2018-01-10 00:23:22 UTC  

Story of a lot of factory towns

2018-01-10 00:23:23 UTC  

What the local mayorship is doing aint helping much. Last I heard, they wanted to ban bulletproof glass.

2018-01-10 00:23:42 UTC  

Heck, similar story to what happened to bridgeport here.

2018-01-10 00:23:44 UTC  

hence the name for the region, The Rust Belt

2018-01-10 00:24:19 UTC  

Wonder if Camden NJ had a similar story or.if it was just always a dangerous place.

2018-01-10 00:24:44 UTC  

kinda simular, except less industry

2018-01-10 00:25:03 UTC  

more on the side of rapid urbanization

2018-01-10 00:25:11 UTC  

Same thing is happening to coal towns now

2018-01-10 00:25:29 UTC  

*has been*

2018-01-10 00:25:32 UTC  

Has been happening to mining town for all of history really

2018-01-10 00:25:50 UTC  

since the end of the second world war

2018-01-10 00:25:51 UTC  

Mine runs out, everyone peaces

2018-01-10 00:26:23 UTC  

But coal is more the market dries up

2018-01-10 00:26:25 UTC  

How bout the coal mining jobs coming back? I thought that was one of the things Trump wanted to fix?

2018-01-10 00:26:34 UTC  

It is.

2018-01-10 00:26:52 UTC  

`woo coal industry`

2018-01-10 00:27:01 UTC  

Will help for a bit but it's probably temporary until the next ban happens.

2018-01-10 00:27:02 UTC  

He declared global warming fake news and took a victory on that promise I think

2018-01-10 00:27:42 UTC  

"I have pulled out of the Paris Accords, I have saved the coal industry. Job down."

2018-01-10 00:27:55 UTC  

"now if only I had pulled out of Paris Accord...."

2018-01-10 00:28:26 UTC  

Well, the Paris Accord was definately not helping against GW.

2018-01-10 00:28:58 UTC  

And the US was actually putting more of an effort into it more than other countries were.

2018-01-10 00:29:12 UTC  

And who was keeping track?

2018-01-10 00:29:19 UTC  

Of all the money?

2018-01-10 00:29:35 UTC  

largest alterinative energy producer

2018-01-10 00:29:38 UTC  

Or if the countries were actually using them for their intended purposes? Do we just take their word for it?

2018-01-10 00:29:40 UTC  

I don't really care about them tbh, and GW alarmist hurt it worst than denyists I think.

2018-01-10 00:29:45 UTC  

With coal it's not just about global warming, coal power plants produce a shitload of toxic byproducts

2018-01-10 00:29:47 UTC  

Like, making sure some of the money didn't just... disappear?

2018-01-10 00:30:05 UTC  

Coal just in general has been on the way out for a while

2018-01-10 00:30:32 UTC  

We need more nuclear plants.

2018-01-10 00:30:33 UTC  

oil is heading that way too

2018-01-10 00:30:37 UTC  

People not happy with regulation around it? Or that people can get it cheaper overseas?

2018-01-10 00:30:48 UTC  

Like what caused the US coal mines to shut down in the first place?

2018-01-10 00:31:23 UTC  

@CreativeRealms if they were more commercially viable we would be building them

2018-01-10 00:31:54 UTC  

And well, if they had some low risk areas to construct them

2018-01-10 00:32:08 UTC  

They are powerful yes, but one mistake can screw over alot
