It would appear the radical left didn't think about the consequences of getting Biden to clamp down on oil. In New Mexico alone, the state where I live, Biden is putting 100,000 jobs in jeopardy, this is already a poor state and we can't take that kind of hit. I don't think Biden listened to both sides of the oil argument, more than likely only one side was told and then Biden was told what to do. This story is from ABC, not Fox or Breitbart.
Biden’s first few days have done nothing but cause suffering. Not shocking, given what his party has done over the past few years. What a disaster of a start to this administration.
New Mexico's population is 2.1 million people and they stand to lose 100,000 jobs. This fake news is devastating to this state.
They’d only lose those jobs if he stopped all activity on federal lands. He didn’t, he stopped new leases and only for 60 days. Doesn’t affect existing leases.
if the Trump and his supporters can call the truth 'fake news' for 4 years, the left can call real fake news 'fake news' for 4 years
save this post and we will see who is right... see if 100k jobs in oil in New Mexico are lost, or not
Aside from funneling revenues to the state's coffers, the industry supports about 100,000 direct and related jobs. Most related jobs would not be lost. The article doesn't differentiate between the two, but 100,000 jobs will not be lost.
Biden is working to kill jobs across the country so this is not surprising. You dems voted this in, don't call it fake news to dodge the ramifications of what he's doing. When the country is already in an economic strain due to covid and covid shutdowns, leave it to Biden to make it worse.
"100,000 Jobs"? New Mexico DOESN'T "stand to lose 100, 000 Jobs". That is straight up BS. And, as was pointed out by Others: Also, this policy was well-publicized BEFORE the Election by the "Sky is Falling/Biden Bad/Chicken Little" Crowd. Here is an Editorial discussing this possibility from August: https://www.grantcountybeat.com/edi...-new-mexico-and-cost-billions-in-lost-revenue Obviously, Residents of New Mexico were made well aware of this possibility MONTHS BEFORE the Election. And, Biden still won the state by over 10 Points (54.3% to 43.5%). Obviously (to the voters of New Mexico), getting rid of Trump was more important than something that "MAY" happen. Thus, the entire "Biden Bad for New Mexico" narrative has fallen flat (and been utterly dismantled). Carry on.
Wow, I guess I shouldn't be surprised you said that outloud, but there you go. Nothing like revenge for those with opposing views. Let them suffer.
I am skeptical a 60 day pause on new leases costs any jobs. The shoe that remains to be dropped is what comes as a result of the moratorium. Could be Joe is just giving Burisma time to get their company set up in the US for Hunter.
"Opposing views" are not an issue and , in fact, welcomed. Carrying water for sedition and repeating a Big Lie is another matter. This is suffering of their own choosing, so "revenge" is not an accurate description. More like masochism. Enough is enough.
But yet you took it upon yourself to personally wish economic hardship to thousands of families with your blessing and try to justify it somehow. I'm sure the others on the left here will applaud your thinking.
54.3% of democrats voted for Biden yet ABC News publishes a story about how concerned those democrats should be. Why would they put out this story if there was nothing to worry about?
Well "jobs" are sort of our thing! We are not the type to stand in a Gubmint handout line begging like the DNC like their followers to do..
Is that what I said ? Please quote me. Otherwise, don't fabricate lies and then attribute them to someone else. We've had enough of that under the Trump administration. Enough already.
