Wrong again! I quoted Biden, who said explicitly, "anyone who can shovel coal..." Those were Biden's words, not mine. Snack on that.
"I assume you could run or maintain the required equipment to mine coal?"
You're so deranged, you can't see that you are proving my point, not challenging it. I don't know if I could learn to run that equipment, but the fact that I'm good at my current job, says NOTHING about my ability to ever learn that job. Using your logic, it's just as stupid to assume that miners could learn to write code. You are making the same exact argument I am making. Exactly the same.
"Lot's of people on this site who have chosen to work with their minds and hands rather than driving a desk and would not trade you for your space in a cubicle working with or maybe being Bill Lumbergh."
I never came close to saying there's anything wrong with working with your hands. I have no idea who you are responding to. For the 20th time, what I'm saying, is that being able to work with your hands, doesn't imply an ability to be able to make a living writing code.

You said these things about coal miners, and I quote:
One profession is unskilled physical labor
what people do, who have zero other options.
I don't think people go into that field who have a lot of other good alternatives.
Joe Biden did not say any of those things, you did.
I assume you think they are largely true, since you proposed two of them as unequivocal statements.
Joe Biden was speaking rhetorically which you find great when Floridaman does it, but if the opposition does it you seize on one word and claim it is deplorable.
So, can you code or are you a miner?
