Year before last we visited Monahans Texas, just west of Odessa. At the suggestion of a pipe fitter I met camping in the state park, we hung around two days exploring the booming Permian Basin drill sites to the north near Kermit.

He was in the state park because he was having trouble finding permanent space. The RV parks were all full and even overflowing with worker trailers.

He had come there from Pennsylvania where he got fed up with the political wackos interfering with the work. (His permanent home was Missouri) He would come to work to discover it had been shut down for some reason or other. That meant he lost pay.

In Texas there was too much work. He could work 24/7 if he could stand it.

People need to be productive (work and produce) for emotional as well as financial reasons.

Obama’s crowd wants to cripple people with their “liberating” Obamacare-gives-you-freedom-to-quit-your-job poison.

Local zoning is a power used by local tyrants and local crony capitalists. Zoning laws need to be reigned in and simplified. Nobody should have their life turned over to a government bureaucrat aka a disinterested 3rd party.

The local politics in W. Pennsylvania is the fly in the ointment. Most local politcos in this area are 4th generation progressive Democrat. Add to that, the coal miner union mentality and you have the formula for keeping everyone poor and dependent on government. There’s a “town meeting” somewhere every damn week, featuring some college professor who has the proof that fracking ruins the water table, causes cancer and two headed children. IOW, there’s not much that’s dumber than W. PA.

It’s worth repeating, but you’re not alone. All zoning laws, along with licensing/permitting are tools to control individual liberty. They form a local tyranny as bad as anything Obama’s doing.

They’re used by politicians to please crony capitalists and maintain the status quo. Bureaucrats love them because they remove any thinking or responsibility.

“...there’s not much that’s dumber than W. PA.”

You mean other than E. PA?

Don’t you find it interesting that after declaring the Pittsburgh city region off limits to drilling, our pathetic child ex-mayor now wants to start a consulting firm specializing in the oil & gas industry. May he starve in that venture.
