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.

This should do wonders for the price of gas. Here in Californiastan it’s already $4 per gallon for regular.

Once the plague restrictions are lifted and summer driving season is in full swing, six dollar gas will become a reality.

And the environazis will cheer, while the useful idiots will cry - and still learn nothing from it.

Reminder to self - buy call options for anything oil or gas related to offset the coming increase in the cost of gas.

“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”

That’s the whole point.

I did that for a long time and quit. It is without question the most boring thing a human being can ever do on this earth. I would rather go to war with a butter knife against tanks than be forced to ever do that again.

China doesn’t have to lift a finger in that regard. Our enemies within are doing an excellent job of that.

President Xi can just sit back and enjoy the show waiting for just the right moment to walk in and take over without firing a shot.

And that will be a big improvement over the sick and dysfunctional country we currently inhabit. At least they are grounded in reality

Good news here. The price of gas has gone up $1.05 since Chomo Joe was installed. It shows no sign of slowing. every other day or so another nickel or dime.

And the idiot democrats are going to bring up the oil company executives and grill them asking why gasoline is so high and they will meekly apologize and take the blame.

Trouble is, when you’ve learned to code, you’ll need an India work permit - that’s where the bulk of the new coding jobs are.

He’s canceling new mining permits as well just like his CCP masters want.

Sorry I forgot to divide off what the guy I was replying to (setter) said from my own comment see #32.

And we are not concerned here with a dead German’s thoughts at the end, rather thoughts at the beginning which in this case is where the Regime and Mao’s are similar in their hatreds.

Best to stop reading the news that we are powerless to change.

Everything these fools do makes me mad.

Been here before with klintoon too. The cost was horrific. What most of the sheeple see as their God given right to cheap gasoline is going to fade very quickly. Good thing they won’t need it with all the little electric cars. We had those once upon a time, they didn’t make it, too restrictive and too much trouble. I see the same thing coming again.

History may not exactly repeat but it rhymes. Silly people, stupid people.

I’m having nightmare flashbacks to the Obama years: Like his master everything Biden does is bad for America.

WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO WAIT FOUR YEARS! This theft has cost us and our country too much - these are times like none we have seen before! Everything is at stake! All the rules changed when these CRIMINALS STOLE the election! The math to common sense and sanity just doesn’t add up the same numbers any longer....
