well fields of the nation companies rest to exploit this new energy resource period thirty two miles below the first surface oil soon flows freely and news spreads the wildfire for the ones left behind by the crisis of two thousand and eight relisted seems like their last chance for you in life with an unemployment rate of zero percent and wages it three or four times more than the national average the promise of prosperity and desperate times is too great to ignore cheered by a common hope thousands of men and women throw themselves once again into a desperate rush towards the mythical american tree and at any cost. history repeats itself in the midst of his new album no doubt the most impressive in u.s. history. they need there's more work out here than they got able to do it. don't believe. i. still believe there's a dream where you can still believe.

it's like a gold rush it is very very similar to a gold rush. there is fresh out of cincinnati in two thousand and twelve after being unemployed for months he hears about the boom happening in willis to. thank god. at first he works for an oil company but soon his desire for independence takes over and he sets up his own serious company. bought the company and we had a sweeper truck and the situation well as time went from a manageable situation where i would get like some sleep at night and i could like keep up with like daily activities share like taking. hours every day to like an

all out sprint trying to like keep up with so much work it was amazing go from one job to the next to the next to the next to the next as it is now i have not right now i have not taken a full day off in over nine months and i'm very thankful i'm here i'm not complaining one bit very thankful for the money an opportunity it was like someone who'd been starving for years for like money like all of a sudden there's like. all you can eat. buffet and all you have to do is go out there and get the work done and people give you money to do it was amazing this year i'm probably going to be making around 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 boredom emptiness and silence the streets are practically deserted it's a town that is most in this within its history of the 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. 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 four. the first came up 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 is going to stand a whole tale. it was like

a hundred dollars and i was in it ok hundred dollars a day. seven hundred dollars of course of a whole week and so i just came to the conclusion you know what i'll 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. it works. and that's the biggest. cherry cannot survive very long it is van where winter temperatures sometimes drop of the minus twenty. for the time being nothing is ready everything has happened so quickly it's very hard to find a place to. makeshift housing known as man camps mine up by the hundreds on the edge of town or close to drilling sites.

these dormitory towns built by necessity on empty lots of her research we one hundred and one hundred fifty dollars a night two meals included. by two thousand and twelve the population living in these men camps was estimated to be over ten thousand you have guys phone and now to florida nevada. cleveland you name it i've seen the license plate. every which you know is the best thing for single men you know i mean that's what i mean as far as wages and. soon to be everything you know the whole country should be this way. because. this place will put like a stress on you know put away that you'll be carrying around on you you and. you

are really realizing and when i went home i came back i noticed it that way then that pressure that whatever you want to call it it builds up over time for me and. you you wouldn't come up here unless there's some reason for you to come up here you know nobody was moving up here in two thousand in two thousand and one i was moving up here in two thousand and one or two thousand and two it wasn't until ok i can gain something financially i can 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 whole fill up here really brought to a lot of people who were smart about it and save their money. because i'm tell you man i was asking a lot of pressure. there's not much help here to do to keep you busy focused on something you know you know keep your time occupied you

know is really allowed me to save all of my money and i'm in a position where you know i can go back home and buy your house. i just like the sound of it i can go back home by your house pay cash for a house not a car not a car but a house. all around with just in the lease it's footprints on the landscape the fast as it please your coverage we could buy these horses for as far as the eye can see sweeney slowly to extract the black calls from the subterranean taps. into bill shore lane highways all around town in order to accommodate the lines of trucks transporting all kinds of pipes believes sand and water used to track it. yes it was planted in france everything was done in a hurry because of the immediacy of the work and the enormous influx of workers.

investors of the unemployed rushed in chasing their dream to grab a pieces of pie. germany got austrian guy italian and 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 the 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 so. 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 pliable i had a marketable skill. it pleases me that i had to 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. you know america would sell its own mother for energy. i live in st george utah. and my family's down there i needed 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 fatigued. but it's mental fatigue also. this is the moment that i like the best. reached down enough to be everything stops vibrating 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 a three hundred fifty pound guy. he gets to pay for it. remember.

when almost chokes seem wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any new world beliefs yet to shape our disdain becomes to add to it and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. just.

running around trying to find a job and work here or there and it's not a good life. and my children have had some some problems so i spent a lot of money on 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. six six ten shows. well i'm glad you're feeling better celestial i mean. i love you too

and talk to you in the morning. or any of you. i usually park the truck come back to the trailer hear it 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 we 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. not a. done 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. before i moved to austin i was in the health care industry and then a hospital administrator for several years in kansas. my project was going to 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 here and there's a lot of jobs you know lot 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 for so many other businesses have done here and 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 that 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 justly didn't help just out. we are current of it and we're always contributed . to. be a good day to day. a lot of kids are going to be really excited to have know it'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 and. they come into my shop all is i so what's what's

going on it's. there are more families that are coming to my list and now i go pick up kale and at school and i see other kids you know on the asian kids african hispanic you know it's a good sign that 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 a but i still like a brother be home. created is the way he's usually gone anywhere from about four weeks to this last one was eight weeks really. we'll see him for about eight weeks and then he'll 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 why. 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 until and it's almost five years now there's no doubt about it but it's just it's what we have to do. and him 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 read ok. 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 of 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 pay the bills and rent it's enough to get by you know just pay the writ you know they pay one hundred a week right no they guy me understand i have a family he wanted to say one hundred twenty five but if you drop it down to a hundred a week. even if. you

do merge in three with some you can always chase i really believe that even during a recession do still opportunities for you just going to look for you got to be a willing to move to chain. to get going and go go do it. now a lot of people don't do it but the ones they do with usually come out ahead in the long run. because our country's never stable across the whole it's very rare to have all fifty states doing well it's also rare to have all fifty states to 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 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 progress you have to run you know my go to bank post office go see clients check on supplies orders 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 brand havoc have i have the vets work on them and stuff but now i can see it i don't use it anymore. it 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 that most of the ranchers and farmers but they really don't

want to do that anymore because they've got the pumps 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 it's not as risky life's not as risky as it used to be. 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 . north the people who 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. the older folks that lived here on a fixed income renting an apartment they went from three hundred a month two thousand a month to 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 yeah. we

never walk the house now i go take the key out all the time that my back up we walk in the house we have alarm system in the house that changes just about everything. going to get my mail. now or yet 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 is no place to buy in town they bought lots out here probably three four acres lots and build out here . because the slowness of the blue of them so money. to build your local was

before. much of those who heard it's a particular few other will do so soon we will. we will. move. move. move show you the stupid you are a liberal who meets those who look very good. more muslim also is the also good you films are good good girls. don't go to shows so look i do the same you belong to show the story to actually go. to starbucks to hold of something to need to fill it with the little mist they say look it is it's. just testing understands to just make them mashed on the truck to stop the president and the speech from the smart students.

as we have petitions to post the story to snoop on little mule because that is the cousin with you for your supporters to your bullshit station shooting star you should cook too if we want. used to do the. same downstream you know nature were all the fuel of upstream you had better off than here because of the other garbage and everything flows downstream and in the financial world if you live in proximity to where the money's being printed the could still in effect is meaning that you get first use of that money and then compounds on a raid uniquely view you get a compound rate of return based on for

a few years time is on your side your downstream time is running against you because you end up with a savings account paying zero percent or you have no wages or you're behind the inflation curve. we try to deconstruct all of these manipulative dichotomies showing 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 via a member of secular societies it is possible. to be. a magnet and.
