Which were mostly just construction jobs that would have ended after the project anyway. You can't believe Facebook troll garbage.
Read Politifact: " By revoking the Keystone Pipeline permit, Biden is destroying 11,000 jobs."
Facebook flagged the post as misleading.
The permit was granted in 2019 and only 1.2 miles of the extension was built. The jobs were for seasonal construction work vs permanent jobs. "The State Department forecasted that no more than 50 jobs, some of which were in Canada would be permanent."
So yes, there is a ton of money lost in temporary jobs, but there's more to the story. Read about tar sands oil, the impact on American land owners and the environmental impact.
Biden is doing a great job with Covid, and that is the key to getting our economy and jobs rolling again.
Some will argue that our stock market just hitting a new record is attributed to Biden, but I disagree with that.
This is not his first rodeo dealing with yet another Republican economic disaster. He and Obama did a fine job getting us out of the great recession and the H1N1 pandemic in 2009. I have full faith he is the right person in leadership now.
Lets not forget that Trump left office having lost more jobs then he created.
Don't worry animalcrazy, the Canadian oil will still makes its way south.
The difference is that it will come on rail car instead of a safe and clean pipeline.
Oooooh ten full time jobs with the trade off of potentially destroying half the countries ecology if there’s an accident. That’s not even worth discussion let it go.

You do realize there are millions of miles of pipelines in this country right?? Where were you when they were being put in? Transporting oil and gas via pipeline is much safer than doing it through rail and trucks.
P.S. If you thought about it, if airlines went bankrupt someone would pick up the pieces. Only a clueless person would think there would be no air traffic if the bailouts didn't happen. Hey the rich elites that donated to Democrats got their wish!
Other than trump's recession due to COVID and GWB's recession, when were airlines " bailed out multiple times over the decades?"
Why should a state that never sees winter storms or ice cold temperatures (with the exception of a recent historic storm) spend extra money on winterizing their equipment?
For the reason of what happened to Texas as a result of not being prepared. How many died? How many had water pipes freeze and break? How many are still without potable water today? No excuse!
Obama didn't bail out airlines. At least read your own links for crying out loud!
