Peabody Coal, black lung both up with Trump

Within days of his election the stock of bankrupt Peabody Coal shot up 50%. Guess what else shot up lately and likely to go even higher? Black lung disease. The NY Times reported today black lung has recently seen a dramatic increase of a new virulent strain called PMF (progressive massive fibrosis) caused by thinner coal streams more infectious coal dust. Of course the recent increase is not related to Trump's election, but his vow to put thousands of miners back breathing that dust bodes ill for the poor folk of Appalachia. What also looms for those afflicted? Loss of special help current sufferers receive from the Affordable Care Act Trump lambasted as a disaster and vows to repeal. All those Trump supporters in Appalachia didn't realize Trump's campaign motto was actually 'Make America gasp again.'
