China's coal mines are the most dangerous in the world, although the industry's safety record has improved in recent years as smaller, illegal mines have been closed. Annual fatalities are now about one-third of the high of nearly 7,000 in 2002.

Well, it sounds like good news, but it's still about 6 men a day who go to work and don't come home.

China is the only country which produces more coal than the United States, but the statistics are startling. In 2010, China produced 1.3MT/DCM (metric ton per dead coal miner), while the US produced 19.4MT/DCM.

A coal industry spokesman explained the discrepancy by saying, "China has easy access to cheap coal miners. If job killing government regulations were relaxed, we could produce a lot more MT/DCM."

When asked if this would create more jobs, he responded, "It'll create more job openings, for sure."
 
Thought it was going to be free Beef with Broccoli, every Thursday from now on.
 
My great uncle on my moms side died of in a coal mining accident. This was back when grandmas was just a kid so it's not like I knew him or anything. 30's I think but not sure. Grams is gone now so I can't ask. I do know his name was Eugene.
Little piece of family coal mining history for ya.
 
I also have (had) a drug addict hooker cousin on my dads side. Nobody knows if she's still alive or not. She's dead inside for sure.

She's not Chinese, is she? She wouldn't be too good in the Broccoli Beef.

I was facebooking this morning and clicking through friends of friends and came across the daughter of a high school buddy. She appears to be a stripper in South Carolina. I may need to take a road trip.
 
The hookers brother was also an addict who found himself on the street and called my dad who never says no to giving one chance to family. The guy came up and my dad told him he could stay if he got a job and didn't touch drugs. No problem for about 3 months. Nobody knows where he is now. Possibly with his hooker sister. They're from Georgia after all.
 
And that's it for today's episode of The Seedy Side of KRC's Life. Join us next week when we'll discuss the former moonshiners and moms hometown that had the law "No niggers after sundown."

Maybe if you stopped calling yourself celibate, you could find a woman to marry you.
 
You know how much women cost these days?!?! I can't afford that kind of extravagance.
It doesn't matter. In a few years, you'll die of the cancer you develop as a result of all the unexpressed rage she will evoke, just like the rest of us.
