“Louisiana and Texas - please secede from the union and withhold your oil. We will join you later.”
“We will join you now!” -Mississippi and Alabama”
Abso-freaking-lutely! There are many support jobs on the line...not to mention those who live in AL, MS and FL who work on the rigs.
One thing I don’t get...why do people think all oil workers live in LA and TX? The fact is, they can live anywhere they want to live!
It’s not that those states are the only ones with oil workers. It’s that they have most of the domestic oil reserves outside of Alaska and California. It just might get the attention of the Feds if that oil were to suddenly stop flowing to them.
