U.S. Pledges to Ease Pain of Closing Coal Mines in Shift to Cleaner Energy

The administration unveiled a plan aimed at extracting more money from companies for mining on federal land and using that revenue to help coal communities train for new jobs.

After the mines shut down governments will pension or train and move the former miners at their choice.
As much money as possible should be extracted from the owners and operators.

Is It Better to Die in America or in England?

Despite all the talk of over-treatment and high costs, end-of-life care in the United States isn’t as bad as you might think.

The result in either case is not good.

When things get impossible there is hospice care.
I will welcome it.

The Founders’ Intent

Readers discuss a letter from a retired diplomat that argued that the founders designed the Constitution to have “flexibility to respond to change.”

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_United_States_of_America

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
