Wait ... isn't that hate speech and a bannable offense? Just ask the people who got banned for telling fired journos to learn to code.

If "anyone can do it", then no one should be paid more for it than we pay people to do other menial labor like flipping burgers which means it ought not be more than the very lowest of minimum wage jobs.

Then go and mine something else, something that is NEEDED and USEFUL, instead of digging up million year old trees to be burned.
Sheesh, some people will never stop complaining.
Stop mining coal? OH NOES, there goes my living dream of digging up dirt.
Mine something else or be a relict of an extinct career like the needler, the charburner, the typographer and so on.

What you and people like minded like you do not get is you cannot force a technology to be adopted if it is inferior. Tech improves and eventually we will be off fossil fuels - probably nuclear energy is the ticket, but just demanding we quit using fossil fuels is beyond idiotic.
If you fools got your way you would bring on the greatest depression and millions would die.

Well, you know.... since all of those unemployed coal miners who live in the middle of nowhere can afford to pay for a degree and feed their families at the same time while they go off to school in the city just to stand in line behind all of those fresh faced kids with shiny new degrees and all!

Also internet probably isn't available where they live and if it was they probably couldn't afford it. So computer literacy probably isn't high. Hes insulting a huge group of people who work an extremely hard, dangerous and toxic job. A lot of people who work hard labor jobs aren't always the smartest or educated, and that's OK. A lot of mining towns are in the middle of nowhere and well below the poverty line. It takes everyone to keep this ball spinning and there are enough jobs for all education and skill levels. But to take those jobs away, and tell them they can do better when they know they can't, is wrong. They are doing the best with the cards they have been dealt, ain't no shame in that.

Ok ok I know what happen hear
He ment to say they should go mine bitcoin instead
He just got a little confused
U know it's hard for him with computers ever since the punch card went obsolete he still thinks programming is just punching holes on cards
Can't learn about that on Youtube any more, they banned hundreds of videos relating to cryptocurrency over christmas. With reasons such as inciting illegal activity and such poppycock. Some people had over 10 years worth insta-deleted.
They dont like crypto much
I remember some time ago reading all seized crypto was dumped on the market right at difficulty jumps to make it unprofitable
No idea if this is true just thing I heard from other miners

Biden's "code" is an ID 10 T.
You know that very harsh... The problem with Programming Joe is he experienced a buffer allocation failure due to a memory error.

Coal mining is a dying industry.
Coding is a far better set of job skills.
However not just anyone cal learn to code

No thanks. We've enough "programmers" copy / pasting # from StackOverflow with zero real understanding of anything.

Not quite. I recently took a contract to fix a project that a bunch of 25-27 year old's screwed up and I am more than twice their age. It happens a lot lately and big industry is actively seeking experience from those that have been in it for decades.

Give up, baby.
We're on page 5 of an ATS thread. At this point its nothing but folk posting their own knowledge and experience without regard to the underlying story behind the OP. "Lol."

Not everyone is equally as smart as everyone else and you should understand that. Like me, I am a moron and can't code so if I was a miner I would have no job in coding.
