Quoting one of the ambassadors:

> Sure some dont like it here, but they may just dont like to work.

Ignoring the grammar..

How stupid or naive do you have to be to a) believe that and b) repeat it.

A not so subtle attempt at saying anyone who has a problem here is actually themselves the problem.

This sentiment is quite common in blue collar sectors. Calling them stupid and naive is, at best, out of touch with at least half the voting block of the United States.

Out of touch does not imply it's an inaccurate statement, though. In 2015 55 % of the US voting block thought there was a need for the same or more emphasis on coal in power generation.
