I was watching the morning news and the Fox crew was interviewing the Keystone Pipeline employees. Many are going to lose everything thanks to a piece of paper.

They all own homes and such. The businesses that support them are done.

In the background on a building, there was a sign stating the situation. It said, "KILLING FOSSIL BY AN OLD FOSSIL"!

Boy oh boy is that true.

I don't suppose the Feds have "NEW" jobs lined up for those that are out of pipeline work? I don't mean making solar panels.

I was supposed to be completing my welding school last year, but that got canceled due to the virus. Our goal was to be on the pipeline (welder helper) January 2021. While learning, I made good friends with some pipeline welders. It is heartbreaking hearing these stories, knowing these people affected by one groups actions. The people with $60,000+ welding rigs are selling them at a third of what they cost, just to pay bills. Many are going other directions to keep welding, but it's not the same as that lifestyle, and the influx in welders creates a massive shortage of jobs. And this is just the welders I know. This isn't the laborers, equipment operators, drivers... so sickening seeing the damage done.

When 2022 elections come around, remember who cut your job. Then in 2024 remember who continued your work before the 2020 elections.

Keystone Pipeline project was not killed for economic, security, or environmental reasons.

They can learn to code or air craft mechanic for Kerry's private jet ! The libs do not care about the average American or working man. I live in upstate rural NY and a lot of people travel 30 -50 miles to get to work. Gas has gone up 75 cents /gallon since sleepy Joe retired into the white house.
