I will also echo that KOMO is the main one we watched when I was growing up so it really does suck to hear this about them. Though part of me thinks we just chose that station because it was just the channel that also had Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.

NPR - Kentucky Lawmakers Limit Black Lung Claims Reviews Despite Epidemic Just six pulmonologists in Kentucky have the federal certification to read black lung X-rays and four of them routinely are hired by coal companies or their insurers, according to an NPR review of federal black lung cases. The two remaining pulmonologists have generally assessed X-rays on behalf of coal miners but one is semi-retired and his federal certification expires June 1. Among the radiologists excluded by the law is Dr. Brandon Crum, who helped expose the biggest clusters ever documented of complicated black lung, the advanced stage of the fatal disease that strikes coal miners. "I do believe the coal industry is writing this bill to exclude certain doctors that they don't like," said Phillip Wheeler, an attorney in Pikeville, Ky., who represents coal miners seeking state black lung benefits. https://www.npr.org/2018/03/31/598484688/ kentucky-lawmakers-limit-black-lung-claims-reviews-despite-epidemic? utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=nprstoriesfromnpr& utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_ campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20180331 Donald's gonna speak out against this, right? --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! http://i.imgur.com/Dr4NAeq.png ...

Also "shockingly" Trump made a way bigger show of our recent tariffs in the first place. Even if the severity of the tariffs were comparable to older ones, that's basically making the response newsworthy before it even happens.

http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/03/news/economy/obama-china-tire-tariff/index.html "Tariffs accomplished what they intended but made no difference". That is basically what that article just said and it was mind blowing. Tariffs successfully stemmed job losses in the sector. Tariffs accomplished nothing. Tariffs increased costs of tires from American companies. Tariffs were skirted by just continuing to buy foreign tires from next lowest companies. Which is it? These other countries only can produce for cheaper because they have no environmental standards and worker standards. How can we sit back and let American industry die off because we force our companies into higher standards that parts of the rest of the world don't adhere to? If you want to force that on American companies, then force America to buy American so they are not killed off by them. --- LoL ID = imajericho XBL GT = Corrik ... Copied to Clipboard!

Icehawk posted...http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/03/news/economy/obama-china-tire-tariff/index.html There is a benefit too though. Imports give us cheaper goods, and if we pay less for the things we need, that helps us. If we have to spend more on local stuff alone, that is less money we are spending on other things. We also rely on outside markets to sell some of our goods, so if countries strike back with trade war tactics, that still hurts our own industry. You can see what happened with Obama's tire tariff. It helped that one industry a little bit, yes, but costs went up for everyone with that product, and the retaliatory tariffs hurt the industries that rely on other people buying. It's not cut and dry. The tariffs accomplished nothing, because they estimate businesses and consumers having to pay more for their tires, and the cost of the tariffs in other sectors hurt the economy in other ways. This is also a big story because of Trump's rhetoric, as kev said. He said "trade wars are easy to win!", so there is concern about a trade war, which is good for no one. --- I call girls "girlies". ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think congresspeople are generally supportive of tariffs that help their district/state, and less supportive of others, which is why we need a president to see beyond that..
