    After learning about 800 coal miners in Colorado's North Fork Valley losing their jobs between 2014 and 2016, a tech company began hiring coal miners to work with fiber optic cables to expand the town's broadband.https://n.pr/2ynAyfW

        The future is technology. It is beyond me why America, especially Americans in red states, seem so fixated with jobs of the past. We live in a different time.

        They would have all been retrained for future green energy jobs much sooner if they listened to #Hillary. But NO! They wanted their ears tickled and #Trump happily lied!

        Isn't this what both President Obama & Secretary Clinton proposed? Retraining coal workers? Meanwhile the R's screaming about the death of coal jobs at 44's hands. Help me Rhonda.

        I heard this story this morning. It was interesting but to be honest by the end I was worried all of those workers would end up jobless again once all the fiber is installed.

        If these same people had stopped shouting "lock her up" long enough they would have heard Hillary suggest this. 🙄

        Very nice, but can we put the fiber optic cables and broadband into a power plant in order to heat homes?

        Great retraining and probably much safer than coal mining.
