Mark Zuckerberg, the 30-something billionaire founder of Facebook, hasn't lived a 'normal' life...at least not at any point in the recent past. He grew up in a suburb of New York City and now hobnobs with the elites of Silicon Valley, at least when he's not enjoying that massive chunk of Kauai that he recently purchased for his own private use.

So what do you do when you've become completely disconnected from the 'foreign' world that all of middle America calls 'reality' and have no idea why you just got massively blindsided by a national election that you thought was a foregone conclusion? Well, you take a trip to Williston, North Dakota.

As Zuckerberg apparently learned for the first time while visiting oil workers in a tiny North Dakota town, there are entire industries that exist outside of Silicon Valley...industries that provide great wages and support thousands of American families. And, as it turns out, those people are sick and tired of having their jobs threatened by their own government and being demonized by Hollywood liberals for their efforts to provide economical access to energy.

Zuckerberg shared his full thoughts in a Facebook post:

> The invention of new techniques to fracture rock (fracking) to extract oil led to a boom where tens of thousands of workers moved from all around the country to pursue new jobs in this industry.

> They come here because these are good jobs where people with a high school diploma can make $100,000 a year.

> When the Dakota Access Pipeline was approved, that removed $6-7 per barrel of cost from producing oil in the region, which brought more investment and jobs here. A number of people told me they had felt their livelihood was blocked by the government, but when Trump approved the pipeline they felt a sense of hope again. That word "hope" came up many times around this. One person told me the night the pipeline was approved, people lit fireworks and rode trucks with American flags down Main Street to celebrate.

> Many people I talked to here acknowledged this, but also feel a sense of pride that their work contributes to serving real needs we all have every day -- keeping our homes warm, getting to work, feeding us, and more. They believe competition from new sources of energy is good, but from their perspective, until renewables can provide most of our energy at scale, they are providing an important service we all rely on, and they wish they'd stop being demonized for it.

Of course, Zuckerberg also took the opportunity to cast the men he met as just a bunch of misogynist criminals...

> This sudden influx of mostly men tripled the size of the town in just a few years. When oil prices dropped, some of this industry left and so did many people. This has led to some unique community dynamics.

> First, the ratio of men to women in the city is now 10:1. That's actually lower than 30:1 at its peak.

> The women I met said they feel safe, but they had unique stories. Some told me about finding out their boyfriends had families back home.

> This gender imbalance has led to crime though. It is well-documented across the world that societies with many more men than women have more crime.

...but, at least it's a start...

This filthy fucking Bolshevik jew better damn well run in 2020. I want Trump to break Washington's record of getting every state's electoral votes.

He could have turned a trick or two while he was there and made a real contribution to morale.

You can tell the newbie on the rig by the clean overalls and stupid grin.

Hopefully one of the vets hit him up for a loan...or at least some startup cash for a new internet porn venture.

Women don't need men who work. They can suck off the government without all the hassles. Moral crimes if not Federal crimes.

It is well-documented across the world that societies with many more men than women have more crime.

I'm sure someone lost their job over his coveralls not being ironed.

Meanwhile, today Trump admits he has no intention of actually building a wall. Go figure.

The jew is starting to dive seriously into politics.

Don't be surprise if the rumors he'll run for office will turn to be true.

It happened to others also.

Kid Rock is Running For Senate – And Maybe You Should Run for Public Office Too

GeezerGeek blueyefinity@yahoo.com Jul 13, 2017 6:35 PM

The current crop of politicians - mostly lawyers - hasn't provided anything to help We the People. Holds true for female lawyers too. Not that I like Zuck, his methods or his ideals, but at least he isn't a lawyer. And is Kid Rock likely to be as disappointing as Little Marco in the Senate?

I vote for idiocracy, as long as it doesn't include fascism/progressivism/bolshevism or any other form of big government.

some here say his cover-alls are on ass backwards; i want that allegation to be correct; however, please explain to me how is collar is proper --- back of the collar is against the back of his neck; does that not imply the collar is zipped, or snapped, or buttoned in front ?

(( i mean it would suit me fine if his thieve'n jewboy dick was hanging caught in the zipper; but i am not sure about the cover-all being backwards ))

This little sheltered, arrogant, know-it-all baby boy finally met some men from reality and realizes that most of the middle class aren't demons, but rather people who have to work like desperate dogs for a living to lead a half decent life. And he still takes the opportunity to pass his youngster elitist judgement on the fact that there are mostly gonna be men working rigs implying we should somehow engineer a more equitable gender balance in the boonies of North Dakota.

Having this little central planning social justice warrior shit-stain as a president would be a farce and a potential disaster.

Dame Ednas Possum Creative_Destruct Jul 14, 2017 1:20 AM

The snivelling nerd's coveralls are on backwards. Compare the two hi-vis strips that go over his shoulders and end on his back... all the real mean who do real work have these strips ending on the front.

Was this some kind of measure to protect him from receiving an initiation wedgie?

I hate walls. Trump either didn't understand the situation, or was just using it as a football. We are not being flooded with Mexicans, and many are leaving. The only thing new is that they are getting pampered excessively now.

Someday Americans may find themselves fleeing to Mexico. Especially if the Big One Hits on the West Coast.

I think he's setting up to be a benign oligarchic technocrat dictatorship but IS THIS FUCKING IRONIC OR WHAT?

The guy that build the engine that has amassed more human opinions, thoughts and feelings than anything in all of history.....

still can't see beyond his own office walls. He actually made a tool that makes humans, himself included, blind to everything but themselves.

Fucking gotta love it.

It is the Jew Parasites who really are the Useless Eaters /Oxygen Thieves? They have never done an honest days work in their lives. Spend all their time leaching off the Goyim. Without their sycophants /useless idiouts to wipe their arses and snotty noses they would be out in the wilderness.

Life of Illusion nope-1004 Jul 13, 2017 5:50 PM

WTF IS HE DOING IN MIDWEST?

HES A FUCKING JOKE WALKING AROUND LIKE HE CARES...

WHATS THE SCAM?

nmewn Life of Illusion Jul 13, 2017 6:51 PM

The scam is for the elitists to try and ingratiate themselves with the hoi polloi once again, coming out of their mansions to check out whats going on in the sticks, why didn't Hillary get elected in a landslide?...that sort of thing.

I've been watching this phenomenon.

It started with the Alinsky press sent like plagues of locusts after the election to places like Kansas, Michigan and Ohio. Then, the "elite of the elite" (people like David Brooks) found themselves "embarrassed" for one of his "friends" not knowing what a padrino sandwich is at one of his favorite delis and taking her to a Mexican restaurant where she was more "comfortable"...I have no idea...lol...but he created an entire article around his/their snobbery.

Now its Zuckerbergs turn, perhaps not knowing what BTU's is and would like to inform his elite friends of something called...fracking...apparently they didn't know what the hell that is either.

But muh servers will still run on windmills, won't they?! ;-)

techpriest nmewn Jul 13, 2017 11:45 PM

I was a renewables researcher at one time, and funny enough, I remember when elite types would come in and talk about how they had this expectation that we were going to crank out some magic black boxes that were going to give 10 billion people an American lifestyle, with zero carbon emissions, and gluten free ;)

Dudes are delusional. If they really want sustainability they need to see how their Keynesian nonsense is causing the problem - get rid of the debt and the feminism and people will be happier, and incidentally the whole planet will be better off.

nmewn techpriest Jul 14, 2017 6:09 AM

Yeah thats the thing everyone needs to be careful about, the Keynesians don't really give a damn about the planet or people. They are part of the "locust swarm" swooping in for the quick buck riding the "green wave"...as in debt money...and there is nothing sustainable about that.

I don't think anyone is against renewables, solar or windmills but the practical among us know it has its place in the energy complex, its not going to replace nuclear or "fossil" or hydro even as we know those come with their own set of issues too.

The best analogy that fits for me is, its like a sailboat.

Velocitor nmewn Jul 14, 2017 10:44 AM

Yeah, I love it when I hear people talk about wind/solar/etc REPLACING hydrocarbons. Sorry, folks- you're NEVER going to see a solar-powered fighter jet.
