They want straight talk. We should give them straight talk. Your jobs aren't coming back, at least no in the old forms. We have to embrace new tech and new manufacturing to bring back well paying jobs. You want to work in energy, well coal is on it's way out. If we could take the lead in solar tech we'll have the jobs for you. You see that guy over there promising you coal jobs?
That shit ain't gonna happen because the Chinese pay their people in a month what you expect to make in a day. Oh yea they also do it in a mines that have no safety standards and tend to randomly collapse on their asses. But that can't happen here because of OSHA and regulations you say?.
Nope, nope that guy over there wants to shove all those pesky, and costly, regulations aside so that you too can die in a mining collapse. Doesn't matter to his ass one bit because they are going to open up a new mine tomorrow and toss your little boy Johnny Johnny's ass down there instead. All of this so that the shareholders can get another diamond tiara for Fee Fee the motherfucking dog.
I wonder if that would be real enough for them.
