“Obviously. Of course. But…let’s say, purely hypothetical, some crazy person claims that this bill hurts the poor while enriching the ultra-wealthy. And they have these statistics about the poors losing food and healthcare while the national debt explodes. We know in our guts that’s all lib lies … but what would you say to that?”
“I would point to a key provision that brings back coal. That’s right—coal is back, baby! And the thing about coal, when you look at where it is extracted, shipped, processed, and refined, what do you see?”
“Pollution?”
“Er, no. You see the poor. Poor are all over the place in all aspects of coal. They live over coal, breathe in coal, and some are even colored in coal. It’s like coal is one big poor magnet. So who benefits from the Great American Coal Comeback if not the poor? They get to participate in all aspects of its journey up the value chain, while all we get is the energy. Heck, I envy the poor.”
“It would be easy for you to join the poors.”
“I wouldn’t want to intrude. It is the their time now. In Trump’s America, the poor shall rise again! Besides, I am making too much money selling Alligator Alcatraz merch.”
