That’s the truth. A previous employer of mine’ExpressJet’used to fly full planes out to these fracker towns. Over a couple years these towns built roads, neighborhoods, schools, and commercial infrastructure off the back of high oil profits. Once they were built oil prices returned to normal, and these towns went dormant. Williston,ND, and Dickerson,ND just to name a couple. It was the Wild West up there, tons of construction dudes, and ‘ladies of the night’ working the late shift to make them happy. Skeleton crews were left behind to keep the massive fracking infrastructure operational.
