Reply #3: I can't believe it. Poor, gullible South Dakotans.

Hyperion pledges to create 1,826 full-time jobs at hourly wages of between $20 and $30.

I will believe this when I see it.

The hog-confinement facilities wanting to build here in Iowa promised "good-paying jobs" too, but most of these noxious hog factories seem to run things with low-paid, undocumented workers imported for the purpose.

Seems to me a modern refinery would be so automated it would nearly run itself. If anybody in this outfit gets paid $30 an hour, I'd guess he'll be sitting behind a mahogany desk in Dallas or somewhere.

Check out the oil company shills posting "Atta Boys" in the comments. They don't have to live there, they just buy stock.
