I think I did recognize the delays.
Learn to code. And besides. Bootygag says Biden “hopes” to create more jobs for the newly unemployed pipeline workers. What professional 6g certified pipe welder doesn’t want to sit in a little office coding apps for facebook at $8 an hour?
I lost mine when Obama the Magnificent announced how evil it was to have a private jet. I was a flight control engineer for a private jet manufacturer. Orders slammed shut and we all got “funemployment” thanks to that jug eared Marxist.
Biden needs to be impeached. Shame on him! We could have had it so good with another term of Trump. It would have been so easy. It’s really hard to comprehend that approx. Half of our fellow Americans gave it all up, screwed us over and now the quality of our lives will suffer.
These people don’t think the Communist Party gives a crap about them do they?
Follow the money.
2.4 million miles of hydrocarbon pipelines in the US.
That huge blob of crude oil lines in north central Oklahoma is Cushing. Cushing is the largest crude oil pipeline hub in the US. Enormous storage capacity there. Why Cushing? From about 1900-1940, huge oil fields around Cushing, ie. Osage County, Glen Pool and Seminole. Pipelines snaked out to the east, northeast and south to get to the big refineries.
Not mapped at all are the pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico. You can get a sense of that network looking at the pipelines at the Mississippi River delta extending west to Galveston Bay.
All of those pipelines heading to the northeast will be in a world of hurt when the New Madrid fault line breaks loose again. Although I’m sure they have done some work on upgrading them.
Rail and trucks going to the NE might have a few bridges upgraded that might survive.
Back in 1811-1812 there were 3 large quakes, some of the fault scarps ran for 5 miles and 30-feet tall!
A large pipeline containing gasoline was buried under the river upstream of Channelview. The floodwater velocity scoured away the overhead cover above the pipeline so the line was directly stressed by the flood currents and broke. This was a very large line and it was some time before low pressure alarms triggered and the gasoline feed was shut off. Also, the broken line was draining gasoline into the river as the line drained out.
Something sparked and several miles of the floodwaters caught fire. Fire was blazing under the I-10 bridge and severely damaged one span. Traffic was screwed up for months till repairs were complete. Amazingly, no one was killed.
I got some wild stories of that night from a couple of chemical plant. operators that were on duty at a barge dock near the pipeline break. Basically, in all that rain coming down, they smelled a cloud of gasoline vapors then hit the red alarm button and took off running.
Democrats are true scumbags who care nothing about the working man.The construction of these pipelines also create a massive amount of spinoff business.From the pipeline workers spending their hard earned money in the towns they pass through to the Chevy/Ford/Dodge dealers selling new vehicles to the well paid workers and the list goes on and on. Who do the democrats think builds the heavy equipment that is used in building the pipelines?The pipe is built and transported by hardworking Americans.I think there are way more jobs lost than the 11,000 the media likes to throw around.
I wonder how many pipeline workers voted democrat in November? I suspect many of them did.
Delays are certainly part of the issue however I believe the context of the 1997 reference can be determined by other comments made comparing the concept of “career” versus “job.” I believe the reference was more about having a career in building pipelines since 1997. His current job in that career involves the Keystone XL construction project. Taking away that project puts a lot of workers in the market with pipeline construction expertise/careers who will be chasing fewer jobs because Zhou Xiden and the Butt-boy have made those jobs anathema to their green dreams.
I used to have this fight with Hubby’s union prez all the time. How the heck can you support Democrats who want to raise wages, etc.....then raise taxes more than the wages rose? What good does that do us?! He is a friend who finally got tired of the political bs a year ago and just quit.
.. and put in.....who?? No thanks.....
The direct jobs related to the pipeline construction are going away, but a lot of support jobs will dry up as well. Ripple effect. And at the same time, obama jr. is going to welcome millions into this country from Central America.
The one and only Donald J. Trump...the true and honest winner of the 2021 POTUS Election. Face it....weak Americans, the Democrats have no one that can be a real, strong executive leaders, Biden is a lost soul, adrift at sea...they are all certified nutcases, and the Republicans are the weakest human beings in the entire world!!!
“cleans himself off on her new curtains”
First good laugh in weeks- thanks.
It would be interesting to see how freepers lost their jobs under Obama/Xiden.
When obama/xiden allowed the Iranians to dump their oil on the open market, I along with 80,000 of my closest friends found ourselves out of work.
Around 80 others and myself lost mine when the jug eared tyrant hit the private jet business. I was an engineer at a factory.
