Oh, sorry, unemployment is already above 15% in Richmond, California. Guess they’re trying for 20 or 25% by the end of the year?

So how are these idiots going to replace the jobs they just lost for these people? Jobs…what are jobs? They all live off of or work for the government. Who needs jobs, right?

Oh yeah, and where are all these supposed “green” jobs that were promised by the Obumbler administration? I’ll tell you where they are - NOWHERE! There are no “green” - red or blue jobs anywhere, and unemployment is expected to reach, what, 15% by the end of the year?

What a bunch of maroons.

Just like “Bob” above.

Will do, Bob. I will also be sure to point out to said mothers that the whole point of the construction project was this: refinery upgrade and modernization project that would have replaced old equipment with newer, cleaner technology.

Sorry, no newer and cleaner technology for you–we’ll keep using the old stuff.

While I’m doing that, you can go tell all the mothers married to those now laid off construction workers, who no longer have any income to pay for their children’s medical care, that their sacrifices on your particular altar are worth it.

All depends on whose ox is gored, doesn’t it?

Go to an asthma clinic in Richmond, California and tell the moms with kids gasping for air all about the glories of tar sands and sour crude.

I’m sure they would agree that expanding Chevron’s capacity is more important than the health of their children.
