President Biden on Friday said people who lose jobs in the fossil fuel industry as a result of environmental reforms must be provided new job opportunities “in the places where they live.” Biden claimed in a speech at the White House that phasing out coal, gas and oil doesn’t require economic devastation in current energy-producing regions. “As we transition to a clean energy future, we must ensure that workers who have thrived in yesterday’s and today’s industries have as bright a tomorrow in the new industries as well as in the places where they live and the communities they have built,” Biden told

These aren't even clever lies anymore, but they keep dishing up this pablum, Media spoon feeds it to us, and we gobble it up. Under penalty of thought crimes punishments, of course.

And who is better able to ''must be provided new job opportunities'' at these locations? Why the federal (feral) government, of course. I predict that before long ''some'' political opinion sites will allow the use of the more common-use terms for people such as Joe Biden.

No, fossil fuel workers should keep their jobs, because without fossil fuels we all freeze in the dark.

The Startled Possum Of The United States is so brilliant. We can pay them to clean the home of the neighbor to the left and the neighbor on the left can clean the home of the neighbor on his left. We’ll have Minimum Housecleaning Fees and everyone just everyone will have a nice 17th century middle class life.

Like Biden and the rest of the communist death democrats really care about workers losing jobs because of their totalitarian efforts to destroy not only the life sustaining fossil fuels industry which will result in, at the most fundamental level, our ability to feed and clothe ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. That is what is these evil communists one and only true goal - Absolute power over every single minute of our lives. They believe in violence, hunger, torture, and liquidation of all who oppose their rule. They are as fanatical and as pitiless as the Muslim terrorist fundamentalists who are also seeking to obliterate us. We are nothing to the communist death democrats and our lives mean nothing to them. They have no conscience. We are the unbelievers who must be removed from the face of the earth.
Forget about waiting and hoping for the republicans, the courts, law enforcement, the military, or any other part of the Federal, States, City, and local governments (in Blue States) to step in and stop this downward march to a hell on earth. We are the only ones individually and collectively who can stop this and reverse it. The ruinous effects of these Biden Regime totalitarian policies have not begun yet to trickle down to visibly start showing up in our everyday lives but in 2 to 3 months we are about to experience a true collapse of these United States of America and our comfortable level of life.
Be prepared to resist in any way possible right including stopping today wearing a mask of oppression. They are useless and harmful.
What will be the final totalitarian straw which will break our backs and result in a mass awakening. I pray it will happen. I do not wish to be a slave.
Free America.

Second thought, has Joe Bidet ever held an honest job, or has he always been a "public servant" where no accountability is needed, and cost and results are of no concern? We get the government we deserve.

So Biteme and the rest of the communist idiots want to raise taxes on everyone. Meanwhile, thousands of high paying jobs that pay an enormous amount of taxes are eliminated by executive order. There is no logic to any of this.

Sure, at the same time Biden and the Democrats are allowing the importation of innumerable low wage foreign workers under the guise that they have a right to enter the USA because they claim they have been “oppressed” in their home countries even though they are coming in such massive numbers that they have overwhelmed the immigration court system to where illegal aliens crossing the borderline unlawfully today will not be scheduled for a hearing in court for 5-7 years, while in the meantime they get to stay in the USA and do as they wish including competing with American workers for available jobs, a process that is bound to seriously depress wages for all such workers in accordance with the law of labor supply and demand.
Just yesterday the media started reporting that Biden will propose allowing so-called refugees from climate change effected countries all over the world into the USA for permanent residence, who of course will also compete with American workers for available jobs, which is sure to further depress wages and make it harder for unemployed Americans, including minority workers who supposedly voted for Biden, to get any job that will support the customary American way of life. Right now many out of work American workers are not looking to take jobs because they can earn more money by drawing the leftist Democrat generated enhanced unemployment compensation that will last until about September. Resulting in employers, especially those running restaurants claiming that American workers will not take offered jobs because of the enhanced unemployment benefits. So in response Biden is authorizing tens of thousands of supposedly “temporary” foreign workers to enter the USA to take those supposedly unfilled jobs. Those so-called “temporary” foreign workers in reality will never leave the USA as Biden has told the world that he will no longer deport or remove foreigners found in the USA who do not have a legal immigration status. Common sense will tell you that the intention of Biden and the leftist Democrats is to flood the USA with what they believe will be tens of millions of future foreign born leftist Democrat voters, and allow the illegal alien population in the USA to grow exponentially.
Obviously those Biden policies are intended to ensure that most American workers end up only being able to earn about the federal minimum wage and become and remain dependent upon leftist Democrat government payouts for their livelihoods. In that respect the leftist Democrats are telling the American people, that’s what they voted for, when they elected Biden and put the leftist Democrats in control of the Congress.

The jerk seems to think that people who worked in the fossil fuel industry for 20 or 30 years will find it easy to transition into a new line of work. Nothing could be further from the truth. The suicide rate will be high among these people. The same thing happened to the steel industry back in the 70s and 80s. The government made a program to train steel workers to become nurse's aids. Consider that for a second.
Our 'leaders' could care less about us. There are more important things like saving the planet.
Biden is a destroyer.

That's nice, but he has no clue how jobs are created. Biden doesn't even have the sense of George McGovern, who, years after leaving the senate purchased a hotel. He later said that he wish he'd had that benefit of that experience when he was in the senate creating burdens on employers.

Sure they can get a job at Burisma, oh wait that's the fossil fuels. I guess that means old big man Joe will have to find another company to take bribes from.

Not content to be merely wrong, Xiden likes to combine his general ignorance and malignancy with arseholery. He really needs a rude wake up to reality, but he's probably too far gone to realize. Maybe an animal call might get through to him. Vietnam combat veterans will remember sharing the jungle with the Tokay lizard, whose call earned it a nickname that I can't repeat here. But here's what it sound like. Up yours, Joe.

I honestly thought it would never be possible to have a worse president than Jimmy Carter. The man was totally incompetent.
But then Ovomit came along and proved me wrong. He was incompetent and evil -- the perfect affirmative action president. So, once again, I didn't think it would be possible to have a worse president.
Bam, along comes the senile doddering old coot of not-my-president Lyin' Joe biden, in his advanced stages of dementia. Of course, given that he is only president because of the mastery of election theft that the Demon-Rats accomplished this past November, I'm not sure if this really counts. But he is incompetent, evil, and senile. And our nation is getting reamed worse and worse every day because of it!!!
So Ovomit and Carter can rest peacefully tonight knowing that they are now the 2nd and 3rd worst presidents in history!!!

FTA: "...people who lose jobs in the fossil fuel industry as a result of environmental reforms..."
And, to date, no one has explained:
1. why the environmental reforms will actually reduce carbon emissions (hint: the net impact of electric cars and 'green energy' is more CO2);
2. how CO2 could cause any warming loop, since the observed increases actually follow temp increases, not the reverse;
2. what caused the last 50 ice ages / interglacial warm periods....because, until this is done, no one can explain why the the current warm period is not just a continuation of the same warming trend the Earth has been on for the last 14,000 years.
Biden and the greenies are not following "the science"....they wouldn't know science if it hit them in the face.

Right. You are 50 years old and will need $$$ amount of income to support a family and mortgage. A footloose 20 year old will be competing for the same new job. Who...who will get the job?🤔

A lot of fossil fuel jobs are in off-the-beaten-path areas - northern Wyoming, West Texas, SW Louisiana. There is little other industry and few, if any, Grub Hub driver jobs.

Gee, not-my-president Lyin' Joe biden, between your economy busting dictatorial decrees, and the way the never-ending government over-control over the stupid Coronavirus, exactly what jobs are going to be left when you destroy all of the energy jobs too?!?!?!?
How silly of me to ask not-my-president Lyin' Joe biden this question. He is too senile to have a clue as to what he read that day. As with everything he says and does, his handlers hand him papers, and he either reads them or signs them without a clue as to what they say. But if he reads them good, Jill will say "good boy" and give him extra cookies with his milk before his nap time.
Ah, the state of the American presidency in 2021!!! We are so reamed thanks to the Demon-Rat mastery of election theft last November!!!
