Marina Schwarz + 1,576 January 30, 2018 The oil and gas workforce in Texas has shrunk to the lowest in seven years. So the hopes of another boom in hiring won't materialize, it seems. Thank technology. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kate Turlington + 44 KT January 30, 2018 Those spare tax dollars will be paying for Melania's trip to the spa to calm her nerves over Stormy, says People Mag ($64,000 flight).
