Also thinks that said roughnecks are struggling to make ends meet despite being one of the highest paid jobs in the country.
I mean, if you see most of them you would think they were making peanuts. Its an extreme problem in the industry of the guys taking their absurdly high pay, and then spending it like new lotto winners until they can barely make their bill payments.
Most of my male family members were oilfield for life, and half of them could barely escape the trailer park despite coming home with easy multiple 5 figure monthly incomes. And the toll it takes on your body catches up fast, meaning they go from loaded to broke quickly because aforementioned poor spending habits mean zero savings.
So them saying this shows how little thought they actually put into anything, because while it looks like it at the end result, the life leading up to that is entirely different and filled with far more unique challenges.
They just thought "conservative, low IQ workers must be failing at life because that's how it works!"
I know, my point being is that its an observation that you can make offhandedly, and that the assumption you make for why it is so can say a lot about your implicit biases.
Such as the fact that their struggles are nearly identical to the common black guys (poverty backgrounds, sudden rushes of money, materialistic spending), yet they think extremely lowly of these men while fluffing the nigger.
A lot of people, maybe most people, will just make any amount of money they make vanish into thin air for absolutely no visible benefit to themselves except maybe a newer car once in a while. If we didn't have Social Security to set some of their money aside and give it back in carefully controlled amounts they'd be totally done for by retirement age.

Fair point, but that is a consequence of poor spending habits and not necessarily poor policy like it would be with what the Left wants to do.

Ironically, the government already spent the Social Security fund. The only "assets" in it are Treasuries, i.e. glorified IOUs.
That's because they're retarded. Oil fielders could retire in half a decade to a part time gig if they didnt have negative IQ
