Sorry for the confusion. You had made a comment on coal miners---in the context of the Joe Lange post---but I took you as referring to the political denigration made against coal miners, to the effect that they should learn code. (Your challenged the denigraters to "learn how to mine coal.") My point is that the denigration of coal miners was totally off base, so that was truly in support of your comment. Does that clear things up?
👍. middle class citizens who work their hearts off, are my America.
i would never in a million years down grade or belittle them. i was saying what 'they' had said when 'they' closed the mines down years/decades ago and now that POTUS and DOGE might be taking their jobs away, 'they' are panicking. i was just saying to them what they said to our people, but in reverse work style.
'they' told our coal miners that lost their jobs that they should learn to code when they lost their jobs. i'm telling them now, that since 'they' are losing their jobs, they might want to learn how to mine coal. it's no way a slam to the coal miners. it's about those government workers who seemed to take delight in our miners losing their jobs.
In case I haven't made it clear, in no way did I take you to be slamming coal miners. I was pointing my critique at those who did, as explicated in the X posting. We are on the same page. I was suggesting that those who recommended "learning to code" probably had no appreciation of the skills required to do that effectively. In other words, it was a facetious remark, like "let them eat cake."

Can we shake hands on this?
