The people of blue state New Mexico are already getting pissed off at Joe Biden for 60-day moratorium on new oil and natural gas leases and drilling permits. All I can say to the pay in the state of New Mexico, too bad, so sad, bye bye. Go Joey! Until these communist states like New Mexico start to realize their crackpots ideas, like oil drilling and global warming are nothing more than scams for the left to make money off of, and screw the American people, the more the people of these blue states need to suffer the consequences. I have no sympathy for the people of New Mexico. I encourage Joey the Biden to make his 60 day moratorium on new oil and natural gas leases and drilling permits permanent so states like New Mexico and Pennsvania lose more jobs.

President Joe Biden’s 60-day moratorium on new oil and natural gas leases and drilling permits is prompting widespread concerns in New Mexico, where spending on education and other public programs hinges on the industry’s success.
Top Republicans in the state as well as local leaders in communities that border the Permian Basin — one of the most productive regions in the U.S. — say any moves to make permanent the suspension would be economically devastating for the state. Half of New Mexico’s production happens on federal land and amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties each year.
Congressional members from other western states also are raising concerns, saying the ripple effects of the moratorium will hurt small businesses already struggling because of the pandemic.
“During his inauguration, President Biden spoke about bringing our nation together. Eliminating drilling on public lands will cost thousands of New Mexicans their jobs and destroy what’s left of our state’s economy,” Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway told The Associated Press on Friday. “How does that bring us together? Environmental efforts should be fair and well-researched, not knee-jerk mandates that just hurt an already impoverished state.”
