Joe Biden during the other night's debate said he is okay with possibly losing hundreds of thousands of oil/energy industry jobs in the US. I'm curious to see if Democrats also feel this way.

How many coal jobs did trump bring back?
Coal Comeback? Coal At New Low After Two Years Under Trump

Do you guys want to keep on manufacturing typewriters because you don't realize computers have arrived?

Time for the old white Republicans to embrace progress and the future. That is where the jobs will be.

He was straight up asked... We have been in an energy boom, are you willing to stop it and potentially lose hundreds of thousands of jobs for climate change? Answer the question. Do you agree with Biden when he said YES.

Progress means change to the future and new jobs. We will not be competitive on a global scale if we continue to live in the stone ages.

Who knew that computer science and associated technology jobs would be a career back in the day before computers? Quit latching on to the past, that is for museums.

So why not build upon new technologies and have a gradual market pace transition? Instead you want government to halt everything, cost hundreds of thousands of jobs, destroy families, just so activists in your party will be happy. Things don't happen over night, so don't try to make it happen over night.

The private sector builds them! You guys really are becoming actual socialists. It's crazy to me how the party has changed so much since Obama.
