Is it a case that many people from places like West Virginia have been voting out of frustration that they have been ignored by the establishment?

  3.  @meechisminners  Thanks for that. I think you're absolutely right it is complicated and there isn't any simple answer even when there are a number of common things. I'm Australian but went to college in America on a sports scholarship. The vast majority of my experience in America and with Americans since are all positive. There are exceptions but I can say that of Australians as well. I was in Canada working a few years ago and that was the same. I've worked with plenty of Brits, New Zealanders and South Africans and its all the same. But what I have seen in America these past 4 years (in fact last 20) is painful to watch. Its like watching a good friends tear their life apart. If there is one thing that does bother me its there isn't a lot of effort to understand WHY. America is an awesome country, but it has its issues (as we all do) and there are so few people asking WHY. Instead there are so many people just righting off entire slabs of the country as irredeemable. We have similar problems here with basically elitist snobs who think the rest of the country is beneath them and some so far beneath them it would better if we built a fence around them and never let them out. I think Biden will be a lot better in simply being more rational, but I worry he wont deal with some of the real issues because they are hard and they are difficult and to people around him solving those things won't win the next election. Thanks for the reply - Take Care & Stay Safe.

  4.  @meechisminners  I did aerospace engineering at U. Illinois. About 18 months ago I saw a great TEDx by another aerospace engineer who made as much common sense as anyone I have seen on how to discuss climate change. Her name is Emily Calandrelli and she would have to be one of West Virginia's finest. Hyper smart and a brilliant public speaker (link below). If you have daughters or nieces she's a role model for them. In 15 minutes she made more sense on how to publicly discuss science than a plane load of NASA & NOAA boffins combined. The Pentagon report she mentioned is public for anyone to see -> https://media.defense.gov/2019/Jan/29/2002084200/-1/-1/1/CLIMATE-CHANGE-REPORT-2019.PDF Any state that can produce girls like this NEEDS to be saved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9haKpJakU4

  5.  @meechisminners  We have very similar issues with our coal industry here in Australia. We vie each month for who's the biggest exporter of coal with Indonesia. The difference is that Indonesia only exports thermal coal where ours is split 50/50 with thermal and metallurgical. We have the single largest ultra high grade reserves of metallurgical coal in the world. I actually helped commission a new metallurgical coal mine 5 years ago. That part of the coal industry isn't going anywhere. If you need high quality steel you need high quality coal to make it. Plus that same high quality coal is what you make carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, graphene and all the other high end carbon products out of. So that part of our coal industry isn't going anywhere and they know it. The thermal coal industry other hand is zombie technology. Its dead but just refuses to stay dead. Wanting to keep it alive as one of our primary power sources is like not wanting to have mobile phones or only have 3-5 TV stations and never have the internet. As for people who vote along a single subject we have those as well - EVERYONE does. Its not just on the right either - look at the Greenies for example. They scream "we must save the planet" and I support that, but after that they haven't a single conscious thought. Ours here made huge news when they went into the coal areas to protest before the last election. NOT ONCE did they propose ANYTHING to do after the coals mines close. So when you say WV got nothing to replace coal mining, we have EXACTLY the same here. As Richard Wolff said these people are not stupid, they know answers like becoming coders is bullshit. Plus WV is home to Marshall U. most well know for its football team but its also well known as a first class engineering college. Places like Australia, America, Europe need to be smarter. We live in uncertain times and people NEED answers and if they don't get them they will turn to people who at least recognize their plight and as history keeps proving that's dangerous.

  6.  @meechisminners  Its not a lot more than simple common sense, which sadly we don't use enough. On re-tasking people. There is actually so much work to be done across the Western World its staggering. You mentioned roads, that's just the start of the infrastructure thing. Basically the entire Western World started to slow down then stop building its basic infrastructure in the 1980s when the world shifted its economic focus. Prof. Mark Blyth has talked about this a lot. Here's a link to a lecture he gave July 2019 its reasonably understandable if your interested in how the world has gone through different phases over the last 100 years and why the world is working as it is now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJoe_daP0DE He recently wrote a book with another guy called "Angrynomics" and instead of looking at all the BS they simply go into what's happening these days and why so many feel feel the world isn't working properly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJH0LIKdC-A He also in another online panel mentioned that in America just upgrading the buildings so they use less energy, things like windows is a massive task that would employ 10s of 1000s and cut greenhouse gas emissions significantly.

  7.  @meechisminners  No problem on Krystal, I think she's one of the smartest commentators (male or female) in America. I saw this piece as the Hill is one of the Channels I watch regularly. I remember last year there were people commenting that she would make a great White House Press Secretary in a Sanders Admin. I can't say I disagree with that sentiment, but as history has written a progressive WH is still only a hope for America. Saggar is a hit or miss with me. When he's preaching right wing ideology (mild or otherwise) he tends to drop reality. When he's being honest about RW politics he's at times brilliant like he was about the Gamespot story. On that "smugness" of MSNBC its pretty revolting, but then the DNC corporatists have utterly failed to get clear messages across. You look at that Fox News Poll and what you find is that the DNC elite are utterly disconnected from electorates they don't like. I just found out that the crazy Q-Anon bimbo in Georgia won because the DNC candidate withdrew before the election. To not even try and just right off an entire electorate and let a Q-Anon maniac represent them in congress with out any effort is just disgusting. Here's Mark Blyth's latest talk on Angrynomics and he yet again points out how the DNC put a fence around 80million working class & rural Americans and simply wrote them off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meJD04IwUlA The crazy thing about West Virginia is that it does produce the high quality coal used for steel manufacture. That part of the coal industry isn't going anywhere because that's the same stuff they make carbon fiber, carbon nano-tubes, graphene, carbon filters and other stuff out of. WV has one of the best engineering colleges in the world in Marshall. So they have all they need to develop new carbon industries and the jobs that go with them. I keep pointing out the same thing to parts of Australia, because we have lots of high quality coal too. 🤚😉✋

  8. To the West Virginian. I saw this vid recently and the panel has 2 University professors. 1 is a progressive political economist and the other teaches Marxism and BOTH have justified why certain demographics voted Trump.
