Not chastising the progression. But rather the fact one man made more in one day than all those his technology aims to replace make in a year combined.HughFreakingDillon said:

Yesterday, after Amazon Go's debut, Jeff Bezos gained $2.8 billion. Amazon Go is tehcnology that pretty much makes cashiers obsolete. You log into the app, go into the store, pick up your items and leave.
So, one guy in one day made more than probably all cashiers in the US combined in a whole year.. for introducing software that takes their jobs away.
This is what class warfare looks like.

As in "your livelihood a year from now doesn't mean shit to me as long as I got my $3 billion today."

Might be a little premature to say that Team Trump Treason has kept "clean" coal alive. But its also a perfect example of his backward thinking, outdated policies. The market is driving the move away from coal and toward renewables. And that's where the jobs of the future will be. Further, "clean" coal jobs were never going to entirely disappear as coal is projected to make up approximately 54% of total electric generation until the year 2040. Team Trump Treason hasn't saved squat as the future is here and the market is buying in.HughFreakingDillon said:

This is what class warfare looks like.
In the chart below, net generation from coal sources declined by 53 percent between 2006 and September 2016, while electricity generation from natural gas increased by 33 percent and solar by over 5,000 percent—from 508,000 MWh to just over 28,000,000 MWh.16 The solar growth only includes utility-scale facilities. In fact, between September 2015 and September 2016 alone, distributed solar photovoltaic generation increased 35 percent nationwide, while estimated total solar—both utility-scale and distributed generation—increased by 52 percent across the country.17
The Fuels sector now employs 1,082,745 workers, compared to last year’s over 1.1 million jobs. However, this relatively small decline is masked by a change in USEER methodology that more accurately identified the number of manufacturing jobs that support Fuels. Accounting for this change in methodology, the Fuels sector declined by at least 8% in the last year. This loss of jobs was largely driven by declines in oil, gas, and coal employment. Oil and gas extraction and support services reached its recent peak employment in the fall of 2014 with 541,000 jobs, while coal mining and extraction reached its recent peak in 2012 with just under 90,000 jobs. In Q2, 2016, these employment figures were at 388,000 and 53,000 respectively.20 Overall, Fuels employers project to see employment decline by an additional two percent over the next 12 months.
Mining and extraction employers in Fuels project a decline in employment of nearly 12 percent over the next 12 months while professional and business services expect to increase employment by almost 11 percent over the same time period.

A negligible increase in West Virginia but it could be administration, logging or another aspect of the industry. Still too soon to tell whether Team Trump Treason saved "clean" coal jobs. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/SMS54000001000000001?amp%3bdata_tool=XGtable&output_view=data&include_graphs=true09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

I'm going to guess none of us in here are shocked by the news
In other news... I watched Hannity last night... all he talked about was the 2 FBI agents and Hillary... Hannity and Herman Cain saying there needs to be a fair investigation and that people are going to go to jail. #Brainwash0 -
Comcast announced 100,000 bonuses of $1,000, while around 500 managers, supervisors, and salespeople were fired. AT&T announced 200,000 bonuses of $1,000, while laying off thousands. Walmart announced minimum hourly wage raises to $11, and offering $1,000 bonuses; on the same day it announced the lay off of "thousands of workers."
Trumpito's America.
