Gawker liberal unhappy black guy gets fracing job in PA

....
Surprisingly, the administrator was able to work it out with the transportation deparment, and Shale Net convinced a company to hold a position for him. Aaron now works for a company called Frac Tech Services International as an equipment operator. He started January 2 of this year. Instead of transporting water and sand as he would have done in the job he originally wanted, Aaron is handling the machinery that does the actual fracking. The job isn't an immediate way out of Harrisburg, but it's a step, the biggest step Aaron has taken in his life.

I checked Aaron's Facebook page last week and saw that he posted a picture of his open hand. It looked aged, weary and hardened. Creases slashed across his palms like deep windshield cracks. Aaron's fingers were smudged, charcoaled and ashed. In his comments, he wrote, "I been working hard so I deserve a hand massage, right?"

Aaron Alton has only been fracking for a month now. We will eventually pay for that, whether we know it or not.
