It's because jobs like this only have workers due to drug and alcohol use. It's a long hard dangerous job that hires high school drop outs and convicts. It comes with that stereotype because that stereotype fits.

You say it’s unfair but those 400 families put out more money in taxes “although at a lower rate” then the whole country combined. I wonder what there insurance is. Wonder how many people they employ. Wonder how much health insurance cost for said employees. Paid time off, sick days, fmla.

My thought exactly. Came here to see if anyone commented it before me.

With modern Flex rigs equipped with top drives taking over, we still have a good few of rigs here in Louisiana that wrap chains. Had an old friend of mine that got hurt throwing chain. Chain got a knot in it, when the knot left the floor and made it to his hands, it opened his hands up and got away from him and wrapped him in the head twice. He was initially put on morphine and got addicted to methadone while being pulled off the morphine.

I watched one of these videos randomly once and this time I was waiting for the chain to come from somewhere. Was a huge relief to realize that for some reason it wasn't necessary! LOL

Please explain for the outsider, I'd like to know.

Hahaha you should try the oilfield some day.

I know nothing about drilling oil and it's pretty easy to see what's going on. All it's doing is screwing or unscrewing pipe, but you have to have something to keep one end stationary while the other pipe is screwed or unscrewed. It seems that plug thing in the beginning is used to hold the pipe in place to keep it from lowering back into the hole so they can do their job.

Zendreax that’s exactly what’s going on. These guys are standing on the drill floor, above them is the Derrick, and the plug you mentioned is a tool called a slip. Below them is the hole and a BOP, the camera is more than likely sitting in the drill shack, where a third man works or monitors an automatic driller. Tough work, all shifts are 12 hours. Any questions just tag me

​@Zubaida.Ali.Ali5327Ellen DeGeneres hosted Kate floretta on TV 2 yrs ago that was where I saw kate and followed up.i have also been attending her Trade seminars.

you must have these things in mind 1. Have a long term mindset. 2. Be willing to take *risk*. 3. Be careful, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending. 4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with an assistant.

Yo I didn't know Kate was this popular,my cousin trade with her for some months now, I tried but couldn't understand anything it's not my thing tho so I passed Lol. I can testify that trade pays very well because my cousin at 23 bought a house already.

When it comes to Trade, I can confidently say that bitcoin is the best option. But most people think it's all about buying and leaving it to rise but It takes a lot more you need to trade it to earn daily.

I think I might have came across the name on an interview last year where she spoke about finance.
