Don't worry, those jobs will come back.... oh wait.. http://www.newsweek.com/trump-cant-b...ng-jobs-574766
I guess, like the generals and ISIS, Trump knows more about this issue than Bob Murray.... |

I read that as well.
To say the Obama destroyed low-cost power in America is laughable and wasn't worthy of acknowledgement. Natural Gas (and fracking) is killing coal. That is a trend that predates Obama. |

The trend goes back to the early/mid 2000's, gas is cheaper and cleaner.
Murray's point above was that automation/equipment has increased productivity which reduces the number of jobs needed |
