30,000 people work in the coal industry in W. Virginia - that's it. It's a dying, toxic industry, but it only takes one Senator to keep propping it up and shoveling $$ in his pocket.

To your point - last year Manchin made $500k from his coal business (ahem - the business he gave to his son) - let's cut him a check for $1m and start pretending it's not the 19th century anymore...
