Scummo corruptly suckled the coal teat as you gamely fronted turning a blind eye. We see you Bambi, you nasty old fart.
Coal...the govt needs the revenue from coal exports to fund its operations, including the welfare system...and power the nation...keep the lights on and allow businesses/ industry to function.
Something the leftist govt is slowly beginning to understand.
Meanwhile, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
For the second time in my life I now have to live very frugally.
At the beginning (at age 18)...and now nearly 60 years later.
The ride in between was comfortable...I basically worked 9 to 5 for 5 days a week...for wages.
As luck would have it I wasn't born in USA, where life is tough if you don't graduate college.
Washing dishes for a job my whole life would've been likely...although my Prussian ancestors would likely have settled in German American and I could well have been raised on a farm.
Drafted into the Vietnam war I would most likely have spent the duration in mititary prison or tortured to death by 'code red' supposed buddies.
...or India or some other harsh place.
Luck's a fortune.
