When the US need to get its oil somewhere else and they really want to deprive Russia of allies, they no longer need :guaido-despair:

Yeah I mean the oil industry is incredibly volatile but it is also an easy way for working class people to stack up some money in a short period of time. I have some cousins on my dad's side who made bank during the last boom. Dudes that were previously making $18/hr driving a Pepsi truck, unloading thousands of pounds of soda every day went to North Dakota and ended up making $2-3000 per week driving fracking sand tankers. They bought houses outright and paid off their debts and are now comfortably middle class because of it. The best part was they didn't have to do physically intensive labor and they never had to deal with urban traffic. Just drive to a sand pit, load up, drive to a delivery site, and blow off the sand. All rural driving.
Yeah I can't really speak to what southern oil drilling's like but up here that shit is competitive and nepotistic. If you want to make those fat stacks in just a few weeks on the slope, you need to know people in the business to help you get your foot in the door since s lot of the mining up here's switched from expansive drilling to a slowed ecologically preserving drilling (however that makes sense) meaning more of the jobs are geared towards maintenance instead of expansion.
