If he doesn't know, he shoulda known. I don't care where he lives. This isn't a secret or a surprise party.
If that's it, the only job he can get is in a coal mine, whaddya want from me? Should we keep the coal mines open so this guy can continue working there?

Well if you put it that way, then, umm, yes. The greater good is obviously more important than the livelihoods of a few hundred thousand people (though I don't know where you got that number).
Of course you are also assuming that the people doing those jobs right now won't be required to do something else. I don't know where you are getting that either.
