Will the people of the US invest in an energy transition?
They thought they were investing in energy independence: we've never pumped more oil or exported more oil than ever before!
But we don't actually have energy independence:
Texas doesn't refine the crude pumped out of Texas.
The US cannot export oil without importing.
The US still must import foreign crude and other oil to blend into gasoline.
If the US had invested the amount invested in foreign wars (which subsidize the price of gasoline) in clean energy and storage, we would be significantly further along on our next energy transition.
But we can't seem to stop ourselves from getting taken by freeloading oil lobbyists that don't pay their debt-financed war bills.
People fought the Keystone XL pipeline here in the US for years before Trump weakly capitulated to Canadian oil.
Yup, this inspires great confidence in the source.
> 10,109 ... left their jobs

That means that there were ~919 new hires, and thus it seems that 10,109 minus 919 equals
> a net loss of 4224
It appears that the "11 to one" ratio is the average, across agencies, of each individual ratio. It's left as an exercise to the reader to determine whether that average has any meaning at all.
The USD has dropped a few percent vs. world currencies and the US markets have trailed Euro, Canadian and Asian markets. Tariff uncertainty is causing a bit of economic gridlock which coupled with AI is playing havoc with hiring.
