Once the "infrastructure" is in place, which I admit will be done by mostly American labor, the number of positions in the U.S. for this pipeline will be about 35. And NONE of the oil is meant for the United States. It's all to be processed and shipped away through the gulf of Mexi…
I remember when the mall used to host things like the gem show, or have a petting zoo come in for families to enjoy. Or school choirs coming in to perform. On sale days, the mall would be packed with racks of things on sale and full of people. Today, it's like a ghost town. Empty stores, not…
