    That level of delusion is the product of decades of grooming

    I mean its the fact that change is scary. Many of these peoples great great grandfathers were miners. It has been the livelihood of these communities for more than a century now. So while I’m 100% for retraining and the such its hard to convince people who see change as a negative. Stick with what you know is rather normal.

      Normal and completely unsustainable. Everything, EVERYTHING changes. If you don’t change with it you are actively holding back human progress for the sake of being afraid of the new. Not to mention that that sentiment is complete fed into and amplified by the gop.
