Texas...that bastion of freedom (rolling eyes)...
This is my hometown. The Permian Basin has been the largest oil producing agent for the USA for decades. Now that all livelihoods have been completely decimated, other citizens simply can’t try to keep their business open either.
It is BECAUSE of the success of the Permian Basin that America was able to become energy-independent for just a season or so. Those of us who grew up there understand the ebb and flow oh so well.
Snide remarks about these people just go with the territory I suppose. They are so much bigger than you.
