Workplace deaths in the coal mining industry increased last year to their highest point in three years.

A total of 15 miners died on the job in 2017, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) data show, compared with eight in 2016.

That year saw the fewest mining deaths since records began.

The 15th death occurred early Friday morning at a Revelation Energy mine in Fayette County in southern West Virginia, West Virginia Public Broadcasting reported.

1. Interesting. Will he take responsibility? Not a chance.

2. Just the tip of the iceberg

Lifting regulations for big business will result in uncountable deaths. Pollution, unsafe working conditions, ignoring the infirmed. trump will hide it and revel in it. For him, a life is worth far less than a dollar or the undoing of Obama's legacy. People with no insurance dying? no matter if the rich are getting tax breaks. And that damned insurance had President Obama's name associated with it. War with Korea? Worth it not to be soft on N Korea like that horrible black man that made a joke about him. War, Death, Misery small price to pay to show Obama he won't tolerate being made fun of. Even Armageddon is a small price to pay to get even with President Obama. Nuclear War or Climate Apocalypse? Small price to pay for him to make money and show Obama that he has the bigger dick.

Our president. Fuck.
