two hundred fifty thousand dollars is a lot of work involved a lot of work it's twenty four hours a day seven days a week. well i guess i should get back to work. here in an inhospitable land full of contrasts before the boom willison was a small conservative agricultural town and in many ways this aspect seems untouched everything has its own place including border emptiness and silence the streets are practically deserted it's a town that is motion this within its history and past. then you have another town the one that needs to welcome this new wave of residence oil company settling down a large numbers with the goal of extracting at least a million barrels of oil a day. this is the one we unpacked like a raft gift and a real without so growing up with a kind of uniformity copy and paste prefabricated never custom made. investors

are right in that everything based upon a population that should be multiplied by for. a first came up here in the spring of two thousand ford saying i work there are neighbors they did a hydraulic fracturing and i was looking at how much it will not cost me to stay somewhere you know if i was just going to stand a whole tail it was like a hundred dollars and i was an ok hundred dollars a day seven days a week seven hundred dollars on a course of a whole week and so i just came to the conclusion you know what i get me a van fix it up so that you know i can be comfortable in it it makes financial sense because i get to keep the majority of my money versus just just on the way on housing and stuff like this. is my first and then. get worse. and that's because the. jury cannot survive very long in his van where winter temperatures sometimes drop of the minus twenty. for the time being he is ready everything has happened so quickly it's very

because. this place will put like a stress on you know put away that you'll be carrying around on you and you're really realizing and when i went home i came back i noticed that weight pressure whatever you want to call it builds up over time for me and. you you wouldn't come up here and there some reason for you to come up here you know nobody was moving up here into the two thousand and one i was moving up here in two thousand and one or two thousand and so it wasn't until ok i can gain something financially and i can improve my situation i can better my status my situation or on the level that i met in life now and. that's that's what the all feel up here really brought so

a lot of people who were smart about it and save their money. because i'm telling you man i was asking a lot of. there's not much help here to do to keep you busy focused on something else you know you know keep you time occupied you know is really allowed me to save my money and i'm in a position where you know i can go back home and your house. i just like the sound of it back and go back home about your house pay cash for a house not a car not a car but a house. all around with just in the least it's footprints on the landscape the fast as it please her coverage for good by these forces for as far as the eye can see sweeney slow to extract the black calls from the subtree interrupts. became urgent to

build for the main highways all around town in order to accommodate the lines of trucks transporting all kinds of pipes beams sand and water used to track it. nothing was planted in fence everything was done in a hurry because of the immediacy of the work of the enormous influx of workers investors and the unemployed rushed in chasing neutrinos have a pieces of. german gun austrian gun italian american and my rifles just in case i need to kill someone . most americans have guns in their house. and at the foot of my bed is a bible. most of my adult life was spent in universities doing teaching or research i went to the university of maine and got several degrees there in agricultural engineering information systems then i worked for mit on the

human genome project. there came a time when there was a recession and there was high unemployment i spent a lot of time reading the news on the internet and i kept reading about the williston the oil boom the bokken shale. i wasn't doing anything i was going into debt so i decided to go from an area that had almost ten percent unemployment to an area that had less than one percent unemployment. i came looking for work but i didn't know what kind of work to take. so i fell into wireline it was very difficult at the beginning i had. accidents while pulling a trailer i could have been killed there were explosives in the trailer and it's fun three hundred sixty degrees and the explosives came out the back. but my boss didn't fire me they gave me another chance after the first year i was very playable

i had a marketable skill. it pleases me that i had a hand a small hand but nevertheless i changed my career late in life and involved myself in american energy independence and in weaning this country of our foreign oil dependency. and america would sell its own mother for energy. i live in st george utah. and my family's down there i need to come up here to make some money to pay off debt and stuff we're getting there.

i went to school and became an teach school elementary school i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year and drive a truck so i chose to drive truck. and i were usually twelve to fourteen hours to get my truck around eight o'clock in the morning and i work till eight o'clock at night you know somewhere between me and i . it's mentally. not only my physically fit. but it's a mental fatigue. this is the moment that i like the best. reached down enough to be

everything stops by a breaking all the noise goes away. i live in company housing here it's provided by the company i have to share. thirty five foot r.v. trailer with that's three hundred fifty pound guy. because you know. we're going to have. friends or.

we tried shooting costarred all these manipulated i cut series shaun of the world that islam is a religion and it's a peaceful religion and it's possible to be a practicing muslims who believe that the koran is the word of god and at the same time be a member of secular societies it is possible. this is harlan kentucky. we've all moved them boys to go ministry. a co money sujit it was almost no coal mines left. the job to go ok was it showed that there was love to see these people the survivors of

a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see the and it's how it's happened. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. your out to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each time. but then my feelings starting to change you talked about more like it was again still some i fall into you know those that didn't like to question are. they

secretly promised to never be like it's one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with this one to see the speech because there were no other takers. saying that mainstream media has not its maker. run around trying to find a job and work here or there and it's not a good life. my children have had some some problems so i spent a lot of money helping my children and cumulated debt so. the original plan was to come up here for six months. and get out of debt but as i came up i made money paid off some bills there were other things.

i happy birthday celestial. pay. six six stitches. oh well i'm glad you're feeling better celestial i mean when i am i love you too and talk to you in the morning. or any of you people. are usually parked the truck come back to the trailer here get a frozen meal. throw in microwave sit down to need it and. if we're not too tired. my roommate nial have a bowl of ice cream and and watch part of a d.v.d. a little after. but most of time it and go to sleep

i don't take a shower every night because we don't shower well there's a shower in the trailer but there's no running water. oh good that was not a. deal she. just boom has not solely attracted oil workers. it was an opportunity for people like jeff and constance to change their lives to open a small business. and before i moved to boston i was in the health care industry and then a hospital administrator for several years in kansas. my project was going to go live and i wanted to be with my family first and i remember talking to some people was talking about wilson about north dakota and the oil boom there's a lot of oil at your and there's a lot of jobs in the water of opportunity for business willesden seem to have the

best opportunities for us. and so we drove up to the local and we realized immediately there was a huge opportunity out here so many people out here there must have been at least thirty thousand people going through here and there were only five restaurants at the time and then we looked a little bit closer and said ok what skill sets do we have that would be a good system and we thought that maybe you don't shop with. so many other businesses have done here in the old timers they all think that foreigners coming here to take their money and go back home they don't think we're like and i think that's one of the big reasons with that since it's not just. a business for us we are part of the community if we were embraced by the community they supported us the deathly didn't they helped us out. we are current of it and always contributed .

to. be a good day to day. a lot of kids are going to be really excited to have dylan's. we came here they didn't have a donut shop they hadn't had one for over. eight years most of these kids never had a girlfriend till four ten. they come in my shop all its high school who wants what go don't it's. there are more families there are coming to wait list and now i go pick up the land at school and i see other kids you know on the asian kids african hispanic you know it's a good sign the the community is growing. healthy with you know a little. crack

lives in bozeman montana a small town six hundred miles away. has run out of options in his hometown and has decided to settle for willis and he knows he will not see his wife and two kids for several weeks. long hours behind the wheel with the hope that he will find work when he arrives when i leave my family like this i usually feel you know pretty lousy at times there was one incident years ago where my daughter was just in tears as i was leaving and it's like it's hard it's it's not fun it's hard but it's what has to be done. they're getting better at it they're getting used to it i'm getting used to it but i still like a brother be home. craig is the way he's usually gone anywhere from about four weeks to this last one was eight weeks really. didn't see him for about eight weeks and then home come home for about a week or so i think it's been hard for the kids because. they were told me that

they feel like it's a broken home you know it's almost like we're divorced because we see so little of each other so it's just been really hard for them this is very similar to living on a ship or being on a boat you're gone for months and see you come back and you see the family for short periods of time and then take off on your ship again you're it's a great analogy it's exactly where it's like. we've all talked about this and i think we could do with a little less so that he could spend more time with us and be more of a family. so i think i would rather have that happy family over here some of the stuff that we transfer died for us that watching my kids grow up it's difficult then to when it's almost five years now there's no doubt about it but it's just it's what we have to do.

adam had just lost his job in the oil business when he met jeff and constance the couple was charged by the courage of a little power of this young man ready to do anything to save his family from misery. since then adam spends all his nights eating donuts. and doing three jobs right now working every day. trying to get some money i want to relocate my family up here. i've got two girls two daughters i want something better form where we lived in southern california is not a very nice place to live so it's a lot of crime. gangsters and browns so the north dakota a be a better place to raise a family. there's a lot of resources here and you've got the salvation army and they feed you here at

the methodist church over it lutheran church down there. but i get food from work too at the dawn it's trying to send all my money home for my wife to pay the bills and rent it's enough to get by you know it's either it you know they pay one hundred a week or they guys knew you understand i have a family he wanted to say one hundred twenty five but if you drop it down to a hundred a week. you can. the american dream is that you can always chase i really believe that even during the recession there was still opportunities where each is going to look for you got to be overwhelming or move to change that to get going and go go chase it go do it. now a lot of people do it but the ones they do with usually come out ahead in the long

run. because our country is never the stable across the whole it's very rare to have all fifty states doing well it's also rare to have all fifty states do and poorly so we're always moving around that's part of our national character it's always find new opportunities wherever they may be. what i do here pretty much is remodeling homes and handyman work fixing and other people's mistakes and other people's problems mostly for homeowners residential it keeps me real busy. i bill out usually about sixty hours a week i can easily put in a twelve hour day no promise you have to run you know my go to bank post office go see clients check on supplies orders stuff a lot of running around to do i love to work how i am a workaholic there's no doubt about it the money's nice but i like work just the way my family is. and.

these are some of the old cattle pens in corrals here some of the fallen apart completely but this is where they bring in the cattle to brando and have the calves i have the fats work on them and stuff but now i can see it i don't use it anymore . there was kind of a tough life i mean you lose cattle they die and the winners and so on the hot summers and you know drought is just on i was going to happens gamble every day never made a lot of money doing it most or ranchers and farmers but they really don't have to do that anymore because they've got the palms down there that they can make money off of. and the oil's put a lot a lot of money into their pockets so now they can do what they want you know take it easy work whatever they want to do so now it's not as risky life's not as risky as you used to be.

a letter. you don't meet many people that are from. when i'm talking to a bunch of people i don't know and they say we're you from i say here they go what . most people have lived here then they were dismayed to see this many people coming lot of people made a lot of money so i mean they like that the older folks that lived here on a fixed income renting an apartment they went from three hundred a month two thousand a month and rent so they're gone. i remember the first time i drove out to the place and i was eighteen miles about and i counted fifty or oil rigs that i could see from the road and that's when it started getting

crazy i thought you know the oil companies for the most part they're good until they start thinking that they can power right over here because they're big and powerful. one thing they do do and i asked them when they came out the first time they always send a woman along with the group to comes out and i asked him straight out i said is that because we will shoot a woman and he said you know. we never walk in the house now i go take the key out. all the time my pickup relock the house we have alarm system in the house that changes just about everything. to get my mail. our get more and more neighbors. it's not the country anymore like it used to be

a. lot of these are people that have moved in with the oil. there was no place to buy in town they bought lots over here probably three four acres lots and build out here. maximizers financial survival guide stacey let's learn about fill out let's say on the troika and your theories on greece on banks of the fight wall street spot thank you for helping. destroy
