    An oversized wide-load truck carrying heavy equipment used in the mining industry turns from East Broad Street to head northbound on North Railroad Street, Route 309, a one-way southbound, at 9 a.m. Thursday. Parking was temporarily banned for five blocks of North Railroad Street. Police, fire police and a state escort service assisted. The cargo measured 17 feet wide and 82 feet long.

Well here we again see how a POTUS can make or break an industry.
Barack and the rest of the "Green" radicals proposed a war on coal, as you remember.
The coal industry went on to loose 50,000 jobs from 2008 to 2012. By 2016, the number of lost jobs climbed to 83,000.
Lost jobs? No big deal, the Kenyan's administration would dole out a mere $14.5 million in federal funding for programs to retrain these folks. With good ole uncle Joe, they could teach em to write code, after all, "anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God’s sake!” (Joe Biden)
Ironically, the Kenyan said he wanted to shift from coal to natural gas, which was another one of his lies, anyway... under Trump, both industries are flourishing, as we see here locally.
Democrats (socialists) destroy jobs so they can turn those unemployed workers in to victims. Victims run for help! The government calls them in and says "We're hear to help", just vote for us, and we'll extend the Unemployment Benefits for up to 20 months, remember that folks?
Under the leadership of a Nationalist-Populist who understands Capitalism, we have both industries thriving, and if I may add, moving us to the status of one of the leading energy producing countries in the world.
You think about this picture of heavy equipment being moved come election time.
Don't vote for the Democrats, vote for the Republicans, they'll more likely keep you working... unless your the type that ask, "What can my country do for poor ole me"
"I need food stamps, unemployment for 20 months, and free this, that, and everything in between"

Not us. We are producers, and the takers will eventually fade away, leaving those resources of welfare for the TRULY needy.
MAGA 2020
Amen Mike, your Spot On;
Note: one addition to the Kenyan energy program which he touted as consisting of:

^Scum Ponds" for energy, which should be a easy self sustaining source in the Swamps of DC

#Diversity SUXs, build the wall & pipeline too.
