9. So we can't talk about doing things unless we are prepared to put our money
on the line, quit our jobs or leave our families so we can all work on the idea we have? Sounds like a real winner you have there. His suggestion was the government pay the oil workers their current salary to make solar panels or whatever but 'we' won't do that there is plenty of money for war but not for something like that.

The jobs of tens of thousands of people are at risk or 'gone' thanks to the oil industry being greedy and cutting corners, buying off officials, the rich people of 'means' using their 'means' to get their greedy corrupt friends jobs and have the government favor them to make more money, where is the plan for them?

Oil isn't going away anytime soon, freak out all you want it isn't happening because of what a few people or even if a lot of people say it should, roughly half the country will still be republican at any given time and they love oil.


Bill Maher isn't setting policy or leading a campaign in congress to abolish oil rigs or destroy the oil industry, you know this as well as I do, but ONE day it will run out and the jobs in the oil industry will be gone and on that day no one will offer the workers any new training because 'someone' killed the oil industry.
