Hi Humans,

Don't be shy. If you want to comment on my blog entries, please do so. You don't have to be a dog to say what you think. or if you have a pet dog and want to have your dog speak for you, that's also OK. I would like to hear from you or your dog.

COAL?



Dear Professor Trump,

In a recent speech to humans in an industrial area impacted by changing technology, you promoted a return to coal as an energy source. Professor, you must realize that the emissions from fossil fuels (especially cough, cough coal) are making the air less breathable and are driving global warming which in turn is creating droughts and by melting the polar ice caps is raising the water level of the oceans which will obliterate coastal lands, not to mention other environmental catastrophes which will impact on the food supply. But Professor Trump, you are always looking for the quick fix instead of the long term solution. Once your fellow humans are smacked in the face by the disaster you have created and can no longer deny it, you will be gone and they will have to run up hill to fix the mess. This is an issue that especially concerns me because we dogs have to breathe the same air as you humans and drink the same water as you humans.

Anyway, the humans who have lost jobs in the coal industry have lost those jobs because coal is being replaced by new and better technologies. That is what capitalism and free markets are. The answer is not to go backward. Instead as new technologies emerge the answer for the displaced workers is to retrain or move to where the jobs are. So Professor Trump, I invite you to come over to the Little Dog University, where you will find a more up to date curriculum than what is offered at Trump University.
