Coal is dead.
Australian Coal Miner Allegiance’s U.S. Subsidiaries File for Bankruptcy
The chapter 11 filing covers mines located in Colorado and Alabama
U.S. subsidiaries of Australian coal mining company Allegiance Coal Ltd. filed for chapter 11 protection Tuesday.
The chapter 11 filing includes the New Elk and Black Warrior coal mines located in Colorado and Alabama, respectively
Bankruptcy often permits corporations to avoid funding pensions for workers and to stop paying for cleanup operations. Privatize the profits; socialize the expenses.
exactly. This is just standard operating procedure for these companies to wash all their liabilities (people and environmental damages) from the books.
Ttumpy's Secretary of Commerce could teach a master class on the subject.
One of the best parody pieces ever created re: the coal industry
as a variety of people have quipped, an announcement of their death has been exaggerated. An announcement of Coal's "death" — even this particular firm's death — seems premature.
WOTD "Schrödinger's Douchebag".
Someone who says something funny, and then decides whether he's joking after seeing the reaction.
Britain is experiencing rationing of fresh vegetables and fruits right now. Be thankful for your salad and avocado toast!

It looks like long-time Polster Voyageur passed away a couple of nights back. RIP, and much love to the family.
Oh, no. I was going to ask about him yesterday as I noticed he wasn't posting. RIP, Bob.
I had the same thought. I wondered why he was not posting here lately. Very, very sorry to hear that…
I will miss Bob.
We're very sorry to hear this.
That is sad, indeed. Someone who could bring the snark, the thought, the challenge, and the warmth. Didn't always agree with him, but always read what he wrote. He will be missed. Condolences and peace to his family and friends.
thanks for the news … he clearly was a one-of-a-kind person, who developed his curmudgeonly ways with assiduous practice.
He'll be missed here.
Very sorry to hear.
Oh…crap. This breaks my heart…I will miss you my friend.
Godspeed, V. See you over there.😪
Well, crud. V was, as his former profession led him to be, always well informed on Things Colorado. This blog, and my reading, will be much the poorer without him. Best wishes and condolences to his family.
I suspected as much but didn't ask because I didn't feel it was my place to do so. RIP V.
I'll miss sparring with him. He was a sweet old curmudgeon.
I’m sorry that Bob E ( Voyageur) has passed. He was a friend of my father’s, when they both worked at the Post.
Arguing with him made me a better writer.
You two argued? I never noticed…
Very sorry to hear this news. I was concerned that we hadn’t heard from V in a while. He was super smart and elevated the discussions here. His scholarly takes and newsman’s credentials will be greatly missed.
Very sorry for the loss of V. I will miss him here.
I've been away from this site due to other demands on my time, and didn't realize V was ill. He taught me a lot over the last 15 years of posting here.
RIP Bob.
