Comment on A West Virginia Coal Miner Just Saved NIOSH’s Black Lung Program

We literally had a war over coal mining in the US. Health and safety regulations and unions were the compromise companies made for workers to not come to the boss’s house and beat the shit out of them or worse. Sure, some people ignore the regulations and end up getting hurt or killed, but the majority of workers are not ready to die just so the company they work for can make more money.
