  1. I agree that percentage depletion has little economic basis than encouraging investments in energy. My personal experience has been with respect to individual royalty and WI holders who gladly take that perk. Much like those that take the EV credit. Congress does what congress does. I have a big hunch that there is a huge net positive economic impact to the federal budget and our overall economy from the energy industry.
  2. That is some real Mother Jones, Pro Publica, anti-frack stuff statistics that you are citing. All kinds of businesses get to deduct their operating costs. Accelerated depreciation, writing off unsuccessful expenditures, very normal. Huge net benefit to our economy.
  3. Thanks for playing, buddy. I am not going to CR this thread anymore. There are reasons that all people don't need to finance CBP and NPR.
  4. Way back in ’67, William F. Buckley Jr. told interviewer Bill Barry how to pick among candidates in a Republican primary: “I’d be for the most right, viable candidate who could win.”
  5. I do miss Firing Line with William F. Buckley.
  6. I have enjoyed seeing all of this play out!
  7. I deny paint chips and pedo. Remind my why I should be paying paying for PBS for other than that sweet tote bag that i got with my pledge?
  8. And this pedo stuff is beyond the pale!
  9. OK. So there is an ad hominem attack. Thanks for proving my point.
  10. This. I am not a bomb thrower or a troll. I never engage in ad hominem attacks. I support this site, the Burnt Ends, and the football tailgates. I am on a first name basis with many of the leaders here. I simply don't know why taxpayer dollars needed to be spent on this and i am pleased that they will no longer be.
  11. There were printing presses back then. I didn't know that there were government subsidies for them.
  12. Yet somehow we survived without it for the first 200 years or so.
  13. I haven't got this many negative responses since I said that the Covid stuff was over hyped! Thanks!
  14. Surly receives no public funding. Yet we survive.
  15. Borderline Libertarian here. I figure that 60ish years of public money is enough to figure out if there is a real market demand for that they are doing.
  16. So it really wasn't "listener supported" - shocking news.
  17. That is going to be a great location for anything other that what is there now. The taller, the better. LFG.
  18. Apparently she ditched the hat! Ms. Betty Blackwell Eligible to Practice in Texas Bar Card Number: 12779300 TX License Date: 11/24/1980 Primary Practice Location: Austin , Texas 1306 Nueces St Austin, TX 78701-1722 https://www.texasbar.com/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Find_A_Lawyer&template=/Customsource/MemberDirectory/MemberDirectoryDetail.cfm&ContactID=177251
  19. Pump action shot gun. I hate them.
  20. Great, but the crash in question was a 787 plane.
  21. Muledick Tailgate for the name.
  22. Then it must be great! Will put it on my list.
