    I've called Nelson and Rubio a bunch as a FL voter. Rubio's staff just blows

    also called Gillibrand and Schumer a few times but I'm not a NY voter yet

    when i've been able to get through, they've said the basic "we will let him know/we will voice your concerns/values your opinion"

    but i'm also way more confident in what he'd do because he isn't a pos and has said he'd vote no

    pretty much lol, or just dismissive as hell

    Over 100 people were forcibly removed from the local offices of each of my Senators on Friday, they were there trying to get a no vote on DeVos

    Yeah. People are stepping up. It's awesome.


    It also helps the we're primarily a sales office, and a good amount of competition is in play here.

    Bloomberg is probably fake news but this is a large number:

    As the global oil industry begins to climb out of a collapse that took 440,000 jobs, anywhere from a third to half may never come back. A combination of more efficient drilling rigs and increased automation is reducing the need for field hands.
