You DO NOT have the first clue as to what you are talking about. If you were in business or running a business, you would know how devastated the local economy really is. If it is so good, why is just about every independent small business owner in every sector , shutting their doors. In what I do, there is no independent in the state of Kentucky that is bigger, and right now the enviroment is the worst I have seen in my almost 30 years in business. Mines are already starting to lay off too. Some may be going gung-ho for right right now, but that is soon to end when their current permits run out. Like I said, the signs are already indicating a future nose dive. Are you aware that the price of coal has dropped down into the 60's now? There comes a point that you can't keep running when it costs more to produce than what the market pays. It's all cyclical and it's not going to be long before they start shutting them down for that reason as well. Booth is one of the very few that will survive IMO, and a lot of that is due to his diversification in other associated industries. You're just kidding yourself kid, if you want to believe the propaganda that the media spews out. It's BAD kid. It's really BAD. And kid, it's going to get even worse around here.

Doing a little deducing from your previous posts about diesel and trucks(not being coal trucks), plus living in Paintsville, it's looks like you are Kentucky's biggest independent milk man, or tire peddler. The biggest independent business owner of your kind in Kentucky, right here in Paintsville? Isn't Paintsville lucky to have such a large business right here amongst us. All the time I thought you were a lawyer, I thought it was your grandson that egged my truck, causing me 500 dollars damage out of my pocket. Boy, I was way off.
