I’d like any of you chuds to last 72 hours without WiFi before you start larping that the life of a coal miner was amazing compared to modern comfort https://t.co/YWJomkmkwo

I will never forgive them! We could be living in tar paper shacks with our children in rags, no running water or electricity!! But noooo! We have warm homes, paved roads, running water! Even electricity and internet, my gawd. When will this hellscape end??/?

You think working a shitty job, with three kids, in a tiny place post-wartime was something to be nostalgic about? pic.twitter.com/2dwKpTE04j

He was also a coal miner living in fourmile, meaning he probably didn’t have clean water to drink, food to eat, and barely had time to spend with his family. He hadn’t been working for years because of his poor health, and died 5 years after this picture was taken. https://t.co/Ik29HjBRKo pic.twitter.com/z8eYpZgbyS
