Among the biggest lies or just plain intellectual stupidity – take your pick - was barry’s view that the US can’t drill it’s way to lower energy costs and provide family wage jobs in the oil and gas industry. When a leftard talks about wanting private sector family wage jobs, they are lying. Socialism has collapsed the Venezuelan oil and gas industry. To a green gaia religionist this not a bug but a feature of socialism.

BOOM TIMES: Typical Worker’s Pay Nears $200,000 at Oil Refiner.
Oil and gas drillers and refiners had some of the highest-paid median workers in the energy and utility sectors in 2018, according to The Wall Street Journal analysis of annual pay disclosures by hundreds of big U.S. companies.
Houston-based Phillips 66 paid its median worker $196,407, the highest of any company in the sector. Phillips was followed by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. APC +11.60% at $183,445. Oil giant Exxon Mobil, which has roughly 72,600 employees, according to its latest proxy, had the third-highest median worker pay with $171,375.
Phillips 66 and Anadarko both boosted their 2018 median pay by about 15% in 2018 compared with 2017. Exxon raised its median pay about 6%. Oil-and-gas companies typically pay their workers better than many other sectors because they have fewer low-paid retail jobs and must compete in a tight labor market driven in part by the shale-oil boom.
Turns out we can drill our way to lower prices and our way out of wage stagnation.

Construction crew I worked with today was 50% black and 50% Hispanic (no whiteys but me and the inspector).
It's as stated one blue collar job that pays really well. White kids take out loans to go to college to get a degree in minority studies so they can be a barista then vote for loan forgiveness. Poor minorities get a labor job and start out making at least $60k with full benefits out of high school(in energy and some other similar sectors).
All these guys today grew up poor and couldn't afford college but all of them own their own homes today which is no small thing in California.
Csb.
Maybe I never read the post to begin with
