Laid-Off Arkansas Pipeline Workers Reveal Heartbreaking Consequences of Pipeline Cancellation
The Western Journal ^ | FEBRUARY 10, 2021 | SAMANTHA CHANG

Newly installed President Joe Biden has decimated thousands of expected jobs and destroyed the lives of many Americans after flippantly canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline on his first day in office through an executive order.

Many are terrified after abruptly losing their income because they have no idea how they’re going to put food on the table for their struggling families.

Biden’s callous job-killing rampage has killed an estimated 11,000 potential pipeline jobs.

That does not include the 5,000 jobs he eliminated when he cavalierly issued another executive order ending the construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Mindy Seyler, an Arkansas resident, is the wife of a laid-off worker on the Keystone XL Pipeline — a project designed to transmit oil from Canada to the United States.

She has no idea how she’s going to make ends meet now.

“Our youngest daughter is a junior in high school, and she’s supposed to be going to college too, and I don’t know how I’m going to pay for it,” Seyler told Fox News on Wednesday. “I have no idea.”

Valerie Knight and her husband were both hired as pipeline workers. She was especially excited because it was her first job going back to work after being on maternity leave.

Now, she doesn’t know what she’s going to do to support her family.

“My husband and I, we were both going to be able to have the opportunity to work on the Keystone,” Knight said. “That was going to be my first job back as a helper after having our little boy.”

No secret-Biden did what he said he was going to do. What’s there to be upset about? That’s for those that lost their jobs.

Yes, no secret and I don’t recall any of these companies going all in for Trump. Trump can’t do all the heavy lifting by himself.

Anybody who voted for Biden so they could slay the great orange whale because suckenberg and his billionaire pals convinced them that the orange whale is bad, deserves a lifetime of misery

And those pipeline jobs ARE "great jobs".

A pipeline in my area flooded the zone with cash.

I was told that it's around 75 bucks an hour to start if you land a gig with one of these pipeline companies.

That's for holding a traffic sign or a shovel.

It goes up from there.

The locals who were housing the workers were ECSTATIC over the cash infusions.

Social media and the MSM will flood the airways with human interest stories of people wronged by historic statues, sexual preferences and other wokefullness but...

These families that are suffering from Biden and company idiocy won’t rise to the threshold of importance to have their story heard

But bidet DID take an obama in his adult diaper today - several times.

So it's all about "give and take"...

Where are the Republican parties in all the states affected by this? During the Trump years, no matter what initiative Trump set forth, some jackass judge would declare a national injunction to stop in—within days.

Why are these Republicans so lacking in teamwork and political will?

The economic model of Democratic administrations is, “These jobs are gone and they are never coming back.”
