Presidential climate envoy John Kerry stirred up a black cloud last week when he said the workers who lost their jobs over the administration's decision to shut down Keystone XL pipeline construction could just make solar panels instead. At least he didn't tell them they should learn to code.
At a news conference last week, Kerry said "What President Biden wants to do is make sure that those folks" who lost jobs "Have better choices, that they have alternatives, that they can be the people who go to work to make the solar panels." Unsaid yet clearly understood is the Democrats' contempt for calloused-hand working class Americans - these "Deplorables" just can't make good decisions and need the guiding hand of government to help them avoid the briar patches and potholes of life.
Kerry went on to scrape coarse-grained sandpaper across workers' wounds when he admitted the executive order to halt the pipeline is a useless gesture that will have no effect on the climate, since "Almost 90% of all of the planet's emissions, global emissions come from outside of U.S. borders."
Which tells us the administration's desperate need for the approval of world leaders who play the same climate game is more important than crafting sensible policy.
Boston talk show host and columnist Howie Carr likens Kerry to a man who is "Chauffeured to dinner at the Chanticleer Inn on Nantucket and order Halibut a la Provencal with puree pommes and then wash it down with a moderately priced $600 bottle of Henri Boillot white Burgundy," and has zero awareness of the lives of men who "Go 2,000 feet down into a coal mine on the midnight shift and get black lung."
In a meager and condescending defense of the White House's decision, Kerry said those who lost jobs have "Been fed the notion that somehow dealing with climate is coming at their expense," and claimed that is not the case.
The economy grows and lost jobs are replaced by more productive jobs.
