Keystone Pipeline Canceled, Let The Layoffs Begin
Fox Business ^ | January 20

Posted on 01/23/2021 7:31:48 PM PST by Helicondelta

Layoffs are already being planned. TC Energy said the Keystone XL was going to sustain more than 11,000 jobs in 2021 so we can start the Biden administration with a net negative 11,000 jobs job is lost. Not bad for your first day.

Adding fuel to the fire, the International Labor Organization (ILO) says that globally over 6 million jobs will be lost in the energy sector as we rejoin the Paris climate accord. Biden's $2 trillion clean energy infrastructure plan, with its goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, is on the table.

Gas prices have gone up 30 cents a gallon since Biden started farting in the oval office.

“...Gas prices have gone up 30 cents a gallon since Biden started farting in the oval office....”

The stated 11,000 jobs are directly related jobs. Not yet quantified is the ripple effect to all the companies who supply parts and material support the pipeline whose orders will be canceled as a result of this EO and the resultant layoffs at those suppliers of material, parts, and services.

Yet the oil will still come. It’ll just come by truck and rail, so democrat donors can profit, and we can pay the higher price. It will be more of an impact on the environment to truck the oil here, yet environmentalists will applaud the change.

How is this legal? Trump issued an E.O. to reverse an Obama ban on offshore drilling and the Sierra Club tied it up for 4 years!

These are HIGH DOLLAR jobs, and it's not just the lost jobs themselves.

It's the locals who got the cash infusions from rentals and spending, too.

When I was doing Census in 2019 & 2020, I talked to the owner of a travel trailer park that was way off the beaten path.

These guys travel around in nice travel trailers and stay in parks like this guy had, filling them up and generating a nice stream of guaranteed cash for quite a long term.

All the local small mom & pop motels were filled, too.

Jao Xiden's handlers have screwed lots of Americans with this...

Yes.

See also my post #7 - it affects the locals, too. I think my informant told me that the entry level jobs for the pipeline people was around 75 bucks an hour - that's for a guy with a shovel...

Nah. Only four years. It’ll get back up and running. Makes too much sense, and too much done aleady. Not a big deal in the sceme of things.

BTW, Trump won, Biden is a fraud, Epstein did not kill himself, abortion is an abomination before God, family life is best, and homosexuality is an abuse of the body.

Let’s all start a quick Twitter account just to post a few truths. Better yet, set loose some bots and let the bearded man play whack-a-mole for a while.

This is how you create the “universal Wage” by bringing the US wages down to third world wages. Now you have a universal wage. Democrats are killing jobs, and unions jobs at that after unions donated 8 billion dollars to Democrat campaigns

The left actually fights to protect its interests, whereas we on the right just type.

The economy will really tank now. As the price of gas, and home heating oil go up, Americans will have less disposable income to boost the economy. Back to the Obama malaise.

They’re just warming up - wait until the progressives really start punishing the American people in about four months.
