(the rest of the story)

According to Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts (R), the decision will impact the state for decades to come. TC Energy, the parent company of the Keystone XL Pipeline, was going to fork over millions in property taxes. That is something that will impact states across the board.

Flyover country so, Meh! Hardly anyone in d.c. will miss a check. Maybe some oil lobby guys will get cut.

I am surprised that no one has noticed that Biden’s EO took effect at about the same time the Chinese are buying Texas oil properties.

I am sure that is nothing more than a coincidence.

How can we be so dumb as to allow that?

Small RED towns do not matter to Dems. Obama showed similar lack of concern when states that did not vote for him had a difficult time getting disaster relief funds. Now the Dems will be just blatant about their disregard.

The Dems do not care.
They have cemented their strangle hold on the country using their useful idiots in the big cities.

They used their California Plan from 2018 all across the US in 2020. It worked, and will continue to work for the foreseeable future.

The rural Flyover Country is nothing to them...................

I hear learning to code or cleaning up land mines isn’t any harder to learn than learning how to run a diner.

When they cause enough families to go hungry, January 6 will look like a couple of ants at a family picnic.

It is the goal of the Marxist left to destroy the middle class which they blame for their glorious worker’s revolution to fail to occur. They want two social classes, the elite overlords and the peons. It’s a return to feudalism.

Sadly the public will be shielded fro this news. By the msm. Only highly informed conservatives and a few of the more involved liberals will know anything about this, and so most low info liberals, I dependents etc who only get their news from CNN or .ate night comedy, will continue right on voting Democrat, oblivious to the destruction going on around d them unless they personally are affected.

With the stroke of a pen, Biden’s executive order effectively killed 11,00 construction jobs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I suspect the impact on Canadian jobs was just about as many...the Alberta government had taken an equity position in the project with a loan guarantee of just over $7 billion.

It seems like killing the pipeline served multiple purposes: get America dependent on foreign oil, kill economies of Red States, and force gas prices higher to stop “climate change”.

Yeah....how do I feed my cattle on carbon credits? DO I plant rows of carbon credits, or just let the chickens get to it?
