The story that it was simple negligence is absurd and it was probably just straight murder.

And trying to paint it as ridiculous that Clinton was involved discredits honest journalism. Something this obvious shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.

Autopsy finds Jeffrey Epstein had several broken neck bones

The Washington Post spoke to Jonathan Arden, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, who said a broken hyoid bone — which is near the Adam’s apple — is more common in strangulation murders than suicidal hangings.

I definitely felt it. It was ****in terrible looking for a job in 2009. I was out of work for almost a year. Sustained myself through crime and blind luck.

Plus I lived in South Florida where the only blue collar jobs are in construction. The housing market crashed and the construction jobs vanished. People who used to make 15-20 dollars an hour were forced to work retail and service jobs for 8-9 dollars an hour.

I'm trying. But I'm afraid I won't be able to get those kinds of jobs with my background. My younger brother just got one and they did a background check. That's why I'm trying to work at one place for a while and not get in trouble.

I would assume that there's a somewhat perpetual repair and remodeling market out there given the hurricanes and wealthy retirees, no? Waiting for a hurricane to strike isn't exactly stable though.

Most of the construction jobs were in building. The area was rapidly expanding. All that came to a halt around 07 or so. I'm sure there were still some people working construction but there were way more workers than there were jobs.

My dad did concrete coating for a lot of the retirees and that more or less dried up around that time too. People stop spending as much on luxuries when there's a recession.

but when it's liberals telling coal miners maybe don't work in coal it sucks anyway...

I digress

Most of the people who work in coal live in dirt poor rural communities where that's the only job in town.

That was intentional.
