Yes, there are many unemployed Americans but the Keystone XL Pipeline will generate a couple thousand not tens of thousands.  The economic benefits do not outweigh the risk to the environment and the impact to the Native American population and their lands.

Honestly, we have more than sufficient oil in the United States.  Keystone XL is dealing in oil sands, which are some of the most difficult to extract types of oil there is.  The cost of the extraction is baked into the cost of the product.  Removing it, removes the added expense when it comes to market.

My audience isn't as huge as Facebook, Twitter, and other social platforms.  I can provide links to facts to your linked falacies.  Whether you accept them or not is up to you but I stand by what I write.

There are always new bugs in Synchronet.  Hell, if bugs didn't exist in software half of software developers would be out of a job.
