“They get what they deserve”

What about us loyal Trump
supporters that live here?
You want us to burn down too?

I’ve written and called the
governor, and state reps on
this matter. Between this and
COVID restrictions (mainly the
food server businesses), New
Mexico is finished.

“New Mexico, which accounts for 57% of federal onshore oil production and 31% of onshore natural gas production, is projected to be among the states hardest hit, losing over 62,000 jobs by 2022,” an API news release said.

Uh, no. New Mexico makes about 12% of US onshore oil production and 6% of US onshore gas production.

Might the difference in numbers be the Federal lands vs. all land?

“Let every state that went to Biden burn to the ground. F em all. They get what they deserve.”

The problem is, we need to sort out which states voted for Biden, and which states were stolen from Trump.

That makes sense.

don’t worry, folks, The Governor has invited hollywood to set up shop in the state. That should bring in all kinds of dough, right? right?

No, sorry. I got a little overheated. Didn’t mean to throw you good Trump supporters in the flames too. Heck, I’m originally from California, 51 years there. Now in Texas. I understand where you’re coming from. LOL......:)

Of course the industry gets a hefty tax break:

New Mexico Incentive: 25% for film, 30% for TV, plus 5% for resident crew wages if filming at least 10 days at qualified facilities (15 days if over $30 million). Minimum spend: $0

And if they move here, they bring their Hollywood anti-Trump, elitist bias.

I stand corrected. That is probably true on federal onshore lands. Wyoming is probably Number 2.

Biden’s Keystone Pipeline shutdown must be working for his cronies. I just noticed a train go by the house.

Instead of Kansas City Southern (KCS)engines it was Canadian Pacific engines pulling a huge number of oil cars behind it, heading for Texas. Most oil tankers I have seen together in years.

Yes. Elections have consequences.

Regardless, it sucks to be a western state subject to the King. And the rest of us that rely on fuel. Or on stuff that relies on fuel to get to our stores.

Time to take a good, hard look at land ownership by the feds in the Western States. We should pass a Constitutional Amendment or something to outlaw excessive federal ownership.

I’ll keep saying it. I hope this tanks New Mexico’s economy and causes considerable hardship in the state - especially to state workers dependent on the tax revenue generated by oil and gas.

The only way some people learn is by suffering the consequences of their actions.
