The devastating fallout of the Biden administration's job-killing rampage continues after he canceled the sale of 80 million acres of Gulf of Mexico oil leases that was scheduled for Wednesday in New Orleans, KLFY-TV in Lafayette, Louisiana, reported Monday.

“It would kill our state. It would kill workers,” Mike Moncla, president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, said of the Biden administration's move. “It would kill jobs, and it would be a terrible thing.”

According to the Moncla and the association, nearly 250,000 Louisiana residents work in the oil and gas industry, and 98,000 of them have offshore jobs.

Mrs rktman’s mom, aunt, uncle and grandma (Oma) ended up in nazi interment camps for not following the herd. Grandpa (Opa) was forced to be a mess cook for the duration. Somehow they all managed to reunite at the end of the war. Guess they were religious ‘thinking’ types.

Would it not make better sense to have an efficient alternate energy source already in production before you get rid of the one you are using now?

These people are not stone-cold insane, they are stone-cold America haters. The enemy is America and America’s enemies are their allies. Just ask Jared Kushner.

“...Governor Edwards has sent him a great letter letting him know exactly what that would mean to Louisiana, all of the economic and finances that come from our offshore work,” Moncla said.”

Edwards doesn’t mind killing jobs, not at all. Any letter he sent to Biden is just PR.

Better settle into a comfy chair, since commies, leftists, marxists, anarchists, demonKKKrats etc don’t and won’t produce anything of value. They only destroy others ability to produce.

“I’m like a “thinking” german in early 30’s germany watching my country go the Nazi path.”

The big difference is Hitler loved Germany. Biden is doing everything he can to destroy the US

my husband just filled up our car and paid 2.79 per gallon

It's already over 3 bucks per gallon for regular, here in NJ.

Another difference is that we are a lot better armed citizens and the military is really not on Biden’s side except for a few political appointments

Everyone is saying Biden is doing this, but who is really running this administration?

Chaos and misery are part of the democrat plan... all the stuff they’re doing that looks like a ‘mistake’ is intentional.

Gee, if only we would have had control of Congress and the White House for a couple years not that long ago, maybe we could have changed the statutory law to make impossible for the Executive to ‘cancel’ mineral leases that have already been granted.
