I'm assuming you're ignorant, not stupid. The Keystone Pipeline would be over a thousand miles of pipe carrying 700,000 bpd at minimum, which would require no less than 8,792 acres of land which would include not just the pipe, but additionally Pump Stations (at least 30) each requiring 5-15 acres, Mainline Valve stations, Densitometer facilities, Delivery/Offloading Sites, and an additional tank farm with a nearly 1 million barrel capacity.
You couldn't run one pumping station with ten men, just to start. The required technical staffing level is larger than that just for basic day to day operations, before you add in the secondary support staff like janitors, facility mechanics, the office girls, the environmental compliance guys, etc. Multiply that by thirty, then add in the layer of regional and national management to run all those stations efficiently. Now lets start adding in the other facilities, the truck drivers, the tank men, the DOT handlers, the aerial surveillance teams, the PIG teams - it goes on.
You don't know what you're talking about.

If they want to migrate to Asia, maybe they should go to India. Cleanliness isn't a thing there and the police have been known to turned a blind eye to rape and abuse.

Most very poor countries are like this and are stricken with corruption. The Philippines is similar. These people won't take the massive drop in standard of living to move there, though.If they want to migrate to Asia, maybe they should go to India.

It's not even like those jobs are going away. Those people will just get put on other gigs.
Although I remember when the covid reliefs didn't pass, those same people tardraging over the pipeline being cancelled just said, "Get different jobs". Well, those pipeline workers can just get different jobs.

Even though we all know he's a troll, this right here is highlights the problem with BOTH sides.
"Get a new job" is the cry when the other side loses jobs.
But it isn't that easy. People saying that usually have a wide and deep job sector, most of which can be filled by trained monkeys. Too many people view one job just like another, with the same amount of training, experience needed, danger, work ethic, importance. The majority of people saying "They can just learn to code" know nothing about the IT sector beyond the minimum wage worker with glasses as the big box store that fixes their electronics and the street shitter or camel jockey that fixes their laptop, not realizing that the whole IT sector is overloaded and an employers market.
Sure, if you get fired from Burger King for being a spaz you can go work at Target with only two weeks of training.
But that's not how highly skilled jobs work. And no, being a modern journalist is not a skilled job, it's where we put retarded people who should have to wear a helmet in public.
When people like HHH trolls as think of pipeline workers, their brain actually doesn't give them an image any more complex that four fat white white guys with hard hats holding wrenches standing around a massive pipe with some bolts in it. Maybe the pipe's green.
If these guys knew how to code, they'd be doing IT for the oil company, which (from what I have been told by people who work in the field) is NOTHING like standard IT that these halfwits imagine IT to be, or the cubicles they work in. Hell, some of the systems still use COBOL and PASCAL in some regions. (Apparently security and the fact the code is so well documented and streamlined that upgrading would be millions wasted a year)
HHH here could probably switch his skills to any of a dozen different types of industries, since janitors will always be in high demand because people would rather see a human mopping the floor than a robot because it makes them feel superior. Because of this, he thinks that oil rigging can the kind of skill you have to have to work on the pipeline is just like him carrying his mop from Burger King to Target to Medical Company X. The building and chemicals might change, but what he does has been same since the Bronze Age.
"Get a different job" works when you're a menial service industry worker, not so much when you have a highly developed skillset that you trained for years to be good at.
It's the same as when idiots say "Well, switch over to the Green Energy Sector" with all the certainty only breathing constantly through your mouth can instill.
Months, maybe a year or more of training in a new skillset. An emerging industry that half of the time doesn't know what it wants and companies close and open and fail and fold faster than HHH-style liberals in a brothel without Viagra.
Sure, it's easy to get a job when all you know is pushing a mop.
Not so easy when your skillset requires an actual education beyond grievance studies and cataloguing people's triggers.

Disclaimer: I didn't read all that shit.
Yeah, it sucks they lost their job, but we should really start taking environmentalism seriously.
Also, your autism hid the fact that I was using the MAGAtards own argument against them there in a facetious way.

Right there. First two lines.
Oh well, better luck next time.

It sucks that one ny times woman lost her job but that shit was cringey, I don't think she should lose her job but it's telling how the left reacts to cancel culture hits them and when it hits conservatives.

If we wanted to take environmentalism seriously, we wouldn't be trading oil from Canada at all but we still are even with Keystone cancelled. Instead we'll be doing it as it already were: with polluting diesel trains and semi trucks.
The EO doesn't really solve anything except make those who own the shipping companies richer. At least a pipeline doesn't derail/overturn and potentially fuck up a small town.

I feel if we want to get environmental, consumer consumption is nothing compared to corporate consumption. Now, I may have missed it, but I haven't seen too many reports on the environmental impact of Covid. A year of lockdown and far less commercial travel doesn't seem to garnered much attention.

On the pipeline kvetching: I've outlined in the thread about it, there was no fucking reason for the only permission for that pipeline's construction to be an EO. House and Senate had passed approval for it legislatively during Obama, and they just lacked the votes to override his veto. They could have passed the fucking thing again and there was no way that Trump would have veto'd it, but for some dumb reason this apparently critically important slate of jobs was entrusted to a fucking EO that could be revoked the moment that the republicans lost the presidency. Compare that to rescinding legislative permission: you'd have to get senators and representatives worried about reelection to sign off on something that a bunch of 'em just years ago would have approved; very unlikely.
I'm sure that was all part of the plan, and I'm sure it's fundamentally different than unilaterally imposing manufacturing and agriculture input-import tariffs on very-likely unconstitutional grounds that cost the economy roughly 175k jobs over the course of a year and a half or so, because we needed to pwn the chinamen. Except that their economy was barely dented by it and so we just pushed off economic illiteracy in the high office onto American job rolls.
I am sure that people crying about the pipelines were doing just the same before. The tariffs' failures were definitely all part of a plan.
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Sex being the word here, it would be easy to argue that allowing troons to compete necessarily causes women to be excluded on the basis of their sex (namely, on its physical capabilities in athletics). However, this wouldn't flip the other way for the couple dozen trans-men that aren't just landwhaless lacking tits, which could be interesting.
This is all just a guess, though.

Probably the wording in title IX:

Oh for sure, companies have far more environmental impact than Joe Schmoe. Problem is that none who have the power to make companies greener will ever do so, not when they can be slipped a fat check to look the other way.
Still, low end changes can help, like better energy meters, a more efficient power grid (that isn't managed by foreign interests), and energy efficient electronics. Educating people to accept hydro and fission power would be a bonus but that's not happening, not while the grift for going against the use of either is so strong that Greenpeace and ExxonMobil can make out over "No Nuclear" and "Save the Fish" signs.

Probably just the mom saying she wouldn't let the kid get or do something until he said the words. The other kid just rambling in the background implies this is a relatively new scenario; they'd be parroting along with the older boy or mom if it'd happened more often. It doesn't make her less of a cunt though.
