“Transgender people don’t go to the crazy levels she does to make people believe in their new gender.”

It sounds like dissociative identity disorder, to a tee. She was abused as a child and would spend hours each day fantasizing that she was an African Princess. She took on a new personality to escape the abuse she was suffering and it carried over into adulthood. I do agree it is not white supremacy, at least not on

That’s GREAT that there are affordable services available to you. I’m happy to hear you can get the help you need.

Wheat pasta is the worst. For real, try rice pasta. It has the soft texture of real white pasta. I eat tinkyada brand. It’s the real deal and I HATE all substitutes, usually.

Sorry, no. There needs to be threads or a lip to snap. Standing it up to create “tension” to keep the lid on is absurd!

So basically nothing has changed since I worked in banking 20 years ago.

Warm bath, melatonin, and the Glenn Harold hypnosis sleep app. It’s free and knocks you out. I swear by it. It will.relax you if nothing else. There’s one for anxiety too.

Why are the police going through their phones because of a random tip? I smell a lawsuit on the horizon!

That happens anywhere, throughout the world. Labor is a mobile asset. People have been moving to cities and, more dramatically, across nations and oceans, for thousands of years to secure employment. Corporations often do set up shop in rural areas for cost savings. Wal-Mart is a great example.

You seriously dismissed an Appalachian’s reply to your insult? Nice!

Thanks for the info. I grew up in the anthracite coal capital of the world.

But “profit and employment” IS the narrative Trump & Co are selling. They are literally saying they are reviving a booming industry and “bringing” jobs back. People have bought into it and it’s absurd. Like most of what Trump does, there’s more to this story. My guess is it has to do with supplying China’s

The internet has helped a lot, as has aggressive college recruitment. I got out because colleges got my PSAT scores through automated reporting and then started offering me programs and scholarships. That was *right* before the internet was a thing. So the flyers came in the mail. But it was enough.

No, not at all. Peabody mining pulled in approx $1.5mm IN TOTAL revenues last year. For the entire company. They are running in the red after operational expenses.

Exactly. Strip mining is anthracite. Mountain top removal is more bituminous. But yeah, as the automation has increased, the guys throwing a pick have decreased. I would estimate that this could be less than 100 men per COUNTY.

Only the small work force currently doing it that would struggle to make a transition. But most of the people in the Appalachian region have access to better jobs, especially in the hospital and prison systems.

Please stop. People in Appalachia have access to education and exposure to the “outside” world.

Wow, what an asshole comment. I grew up in the anthracite coal mining capital of the world (at least in North America—China might be the capital now). Most of the early to mid century miners in my area were first generation Eastern European immigrants. They took the jobs because that was what was available to them
