the only issue would be instead of trying to understanding people from india, you'd be trying to understand hillbilly. :grin:

When I was in college I worked at a convenience store. We had this family from Pulaski county that used to come in. There were 4 or 5 brothers and you could only understand one of them and that still wasn't easy. He would "translate" for you. Nicest guys. One night, I had a gig right after work and I was restringing my guitar. The one guy asked if I played, and I said yes. A few nights later, they showed up with some really old Martins and Gibsons and a busted out some awesome bluegrass. Those guitars probably were in the family for generations.

You know, even if it benefited more people, who the fuck wants to be a coal miner? I get you can make a decent income, once you have been there a while and work a ton of overtime, but fuck that. I can't think of a more horrible job than mining coal. How about instead of trying to bring back coal jobs, that like you said only really benefit a few areas of people, start some training programs and maybe bring some call center jobs back to the US. You can locate call centers anywhere and I can't imagine how much better for your quality of life is working in a call center is than in a coal mine.

Sounds like you're saying "help people". The party of jeebas and the white taliban is strictly anti-helping people... unless the funding passes through them or their masters.

Would it be pushing it if we started a political figure assassination/mysterious death pool? Maybe give Mark and the mods 15% of the take to get them to look the other way?

I call dibs on Putin getting taken out by his own people the day after Trump is impeached.
