From the Death by Doctrine podcast, more episodes here.After doing an episode on coal in our Standards series, we must answer the question: Why do coal miners support conservative politics despite how harmful it is for them? "We're bringing back an industry that was abandoned. With us today are some of the amazing workers who will benefit from these policies." Trump, a liar. "For too long, coal has been a dirty word that most are afraid to speak about, but we are still strong. We are still here. And we're still needed in order to make America great again. " Jeff Crowe, a coal mine manager from West Virginia, definitely not wrong about this. /shttps://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/nad.70001-o-www.everythingispublichealth.comBluesky Social: @everythingisPHMastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: [email protected]

Deleting data and research is book burning. No need to read 1984, we’re living through it. Data is a representation of reality. By controlling data, one can control our understanding of reality, and in the hands of an autocratic regime erasing data is a highly effective tool for erasing dissent. After all, no one can claim the regime is causing problems if no evidence of said problems exists.  We are witnessing the full scale dismantling of our science and institutions. -o-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth  Bluesky Social: @everythingisPHMastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: [email protected]     Photo Credit: Photo by Enayet Raheem on Unsplash https://unsplash.com/photos/white-printer-paper-with-black-text-0UxQZNoLnlk?utm_content=creditShareLink&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash
