Could I have made a scene? Oh, yes, especially when the talk turned to coal and how closing down coal mines would make West Virginia ‘the poorest state in the country’ and how ‘Trump is already having an effect on the economy, you can see it in the gas prices’.
Would it have helped? Would I have gotten any satisfaction from it? No, and no.
Just wait until next year when no one can afford any Christmas presents, half the family has been killed by bird flu, and there is no food because we have no migrant workers to pick crops. No more family holidays.

They’ll be praising the circumstances to high heaven, don’t you worry.
