[NEWS} Annoying Orange made a deal with china, we are dealing coal.

[King Tøny]

President Annoying Orange made a deal with china. We are going to start exporting our coal to china. We are going to make money and create jobs.

Oh yeah, this cut's North Korea's economy by more than half so don't expect any nuclear bombs from them anytime soon. Now they really can't afford them.

All in under 100 days.

Coal industry is not going to rise anymore

anymore than what? a nearly dead industry suddenly jumped to 400,000 tons a month, a ridiculous amount of coal to export. and it will be for decades. we will still need a massive amount of new employees to keep up with it.

This is a complete lie and I know this because the coal industry itself told me it was dying so guess what buddy, you're FAKE NEWS.

I wasn't really sure whether 400kt/month counts as a 'ridiculous amount of coal' so I did some research. The largest coal mine in the US employs around ~1,300 people and outputs around 100 million tons of coal per year. Meaning if we ignore economies of scale and pretend like we're expanding the output of this mine another 4.8 million tons per year, then the additional human labor needed at that plant is 4.8%.

63 jobs.

But more realistically the plant would just buy more machines and acquire more land.
