2. Unbelievable.
Welcome to the ranks of the uninsured, my coal-mining brethren.

Didn't that judge think for even ONE SECOND about what the families of those miners are going to do when their breadwinner falls ill as a result of his/her occupation? There are no words to express what an utter travesty this is...

4. That's ALL of us...... workers, soldiers, kids, seniors.....
Give us your labor, then out you go.

That the Merkin Way.

It's too bad it takes something this extreme to get that point across.
