has to say that crazy shite because the main employer by far is the oil industry. It is a modern day Hunger Games. The Tributes from her District would wear oil derricks on their heads! The sad thing is that the people of that District know that is the case, but they need those jobs. They want a Representative in the pocket of the oil industry because that is in their self interests. They will put up with all of the negatives: contamination; loss of wet lands; pollution; whatever, to keep their precious jobs.
