That had to be a terrible way to pass away. I hope my post (#3) did not offend you, if so, I do apologize. It is not a joking matter, and I probably should have considered such a thing before making a snarky remark like this.

(6,395 posts)...but it will also kill you before you hit 55.
Learn a different job skill, live to 80 or more...fuck that! I don't have to go through the pain of changing professions! And just deal with the pain of Black Lung....and die knowing my male offspring will also die of Black Lung. What could be better than that!

(18,470 posts)I'm almost at the point where I figure coal miners who voted for this son of a bitch are getting what they deserve. Almost.
And the orange fart cloud doesn't really give a shit about them;
Trump may have let his true feelings about coal miners be known during a Playboy interview in 1990, however.
"The coal miner gets black-lung disease, his son gets it, then his son," Trump told Playboy. "If I had been the son of a coal miner, I would have left the damn mines. But most people dont have the imagination or whatever to leave their mine. They dont have 'it.'"
