Fracking Fortunes in West Texas


One of America’s hottest labor markets is in West Texas, where the brisket is scarce, the ‘man-camps’ are full, and oil workers with no time to spare pay $75 to skip the line at the barber shop.

Headline in WSJ

Money can't buy happiness.
West Texas doesn't care.
Roustabouts spend fortunes
just to cut their tangled hair.
Caviar and champagne
do not tempt them in the least;
as long as they are fracking
they don't care how they are fleeced.
