Trump’s America - Page 176 - Politics and Economics

Federal investigators this month identified the largest cluster of advanced black lung cases ever officially recorded.

More than 400 coal miners frequenting three clinics in southwestern Virginia between 2013 and 2017 were found to have complicated black lung disease, an extreme form characterized by dense masses of scar tissue in the lungs.

Coal-loving Trump is on the case to protect our nation's sacred coal miners, right?

Quote:

To combat black lung disease, the Obama administration in 2014 issued a new coal dust rule. It lowered dust exposure limits for the first time in four decades, increased sampling frequency and required the use of real-time personal dust monitoring devices.

The rule was challenged by coal industry groups as costly and overly burdensome. A federal appeals court upheld it in 2016.

Last December, the Trump administration announced a retrospective review of the four-year-old regulation as part of a broader rule-cutting agenda, a move that alarmed mine safety advocates and medical experts.

I’d guess for most of them having their cultural grievances addressed > living longer anyway. I mean who wants to spend the majority of his/her life toiling away underground anyway? (**** I just realized i work in a basement)

Man, if the civil war didn’t happen and the south split off into its own country, it would 100% be a corrupt banana republic over a few decades.

If trump and the south left the union today it would take maybe a month at most.
