That's right...the "US Special Envoy for Climate" who flies his private jet around, plays on his yacht and owns several mansions, while implementing job k*****g climate polices, tells people who have lost their jobs to get new jobs making solar panels...

This is America's new reality, folks. Get used to it because Americans are going to be the collateral damage from this "energy agenda"....the one that they say is going to take 30 years to put into effect.

Kerry is rich and doesn’t have to worry about putting food on the table. As such its easy for him to spit in people’s faces

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Yes by all means do that.... Just the answer...

He, and others like him, are spitting in the face of God. I hope we get to watch as they are thrown, kicking and screaming, into the Lake of Fire.

I don't wish that on anyone

No need to do so. The choice is theirs. They are simply getting what they asked for. Do not pity them. They know what they are doing.

Emily, We are in an era of t***sition. Burning f****l f**ls is no longer sustainable. We need to t***sition to renewable sources of energy according to over ninety percent of the scientists studying c*****e c****e. I believe that the federal government should offer training to workers whose jobs become obsolete. We have the infrastructure to do this. The federal government and other business, and local governments could offer courses in needed, good paying jobs through the community college system.. Is it a perfect solution, of course not, but if there is another solution besides denial of the problem, I'm listening.

>>>False date results in false solutions. C*****e c****e is cyclical and there is nothing we can do about it. We didn't cause it and we can't fix it and we can't change it.

Even if this 30-year energy agenda works, those "obsolete" jobs will not become obsolete for years. Sure a coal miner can go to college to learn how to make solar panels, but I bet you there are not a lot of them who will actually do that. What sounds good on paper does not always work in reality. And reality is what you Dems are forgetting to look at with this. Immediatelly k*****g jobs that possibley could be phased out over time is not a practical, reality-based solution. And I believe you, and a lot of other Dems, can see that. Immediately k*****g jobs like this is a political move....and at what cost to those thousands of families who are now without an income. Most of these families live paycheck to paycheck. And most of them DO NOT want to be on the dole.

In one week, it is becoming obvious to a LOT of Americans what the Biden administration is about - and it is not about Americans. It is about Socialism. The message they're sending is "Get used to taking commands and obeying mandates."

He also didn't have to work for his money. He married it.

The prick also cost American lives in Vietnam by giving aid and comfort to the enemy. He should have been executed decades ago.

The workers you are referencing are NOT energy workers they are pipe fitters. That is a totally different job. It is unsurprising that Tom Cotton and you have no understanding of job descriptions.
When you post a video it might be a good idea to listen to it so that your position won't be mistaken for a lie. It can't really be a lie, of course. It is much too obvious that you have no idea that you are not telling the t***h since you have no idea what you are talking about.

"Energy workers" is John Kerry's term, not mine. And he did say in that video that coal miners can do the job of solar power technicians and wind turbine technicians (he said they are "similar" jobs! ) He did not mention pipe fitters. And all those many green new jobs he's talking about (that have not even been created yet) will be for these people. So you tell me...how long are they supposed to wait until these jobs even exist?

It seems to me that you are the one who doesn't understand job descriptions. Do you really think coal miners and pipe fitters, even if they could be trained, will even want to be wind and solar technicians? And will they be paid if/while they are being trained? If not, how will they feed themselves and their families? I guess they can go on the dole for a while, but I doubt most of them will like being put in that position. They are hard-working Americans who take p***e in living their own lives on their terms...not the government's terms.

And I don't get how you call me a liar for posting a video of John Kerry saying what he said. Yes, it's ludicrous what he said, but it is not ME that said it. Maybe you should watch it again...

Sorry that the t***h bothers you. You need to deal with that.

PS...and Tom Cotton is showing Kerry's hypocrisy when he points out that Kerry flies in private jets, owns a 76-foot yacht and several mansions—has the carbon footprint of a small nation. In fact, he and his wife own six homes, two yachts, 12 cars, and a private jet.

John Kerry's face looks like a horse's face.
Would a face lift work?
A bridle may help to put him on a right path.
