Not really unless you are willing work in a salt mine.

Yeah if it's in the oil fields or a mine and therefore dangerous.

As a union ironworker I make 38.58 an hour. Plus 2.50 an hour goes into a vacation check. With full benefits. So I would say it does.

I once saw an energy bill from an unoccupied mcmansion on my road and it was the same exact constant energy usage the entire year except it was 2x the peak of my 4 person household every month

I don't get it. Why don't you just build your own $500,000,000 oil rig with a $200,000 daily operation cost and keep all the money for yourself?

Because you can go to fucking Canada and use some cast iron bits to get it out of the ground and refine it in your garage then burn it yourself
Instead you just sign your existence and family to the boomers so they can literally torch your money in front of you into air
They're taking money out of your bank account and lighting it on fire and there is nothing you can do but watch

What are you talking about burn it in the air?
