  1. Trump's dog ate them.
  2. Well, the first parties injured here would be the techbros and oligarchs, with follow-on effects for the rest of us. So, yeah, I would expect some sort of government supported wealth-preservation strategy for them.
  3. Also note that this seems to be more or less the saga of charter schools everywhere. Private sector solutions to public sector problems are no better than public solutions and far less transparent.
  4. Tricky question. If they have the essential terms of an agreement and indicate an intention to be bound now, then it's a contract, with the details to be filled in later with a comprehensive written agreement. If essential terms are missing and/or it indicates an intention not to be bound pending a subsequent comprehensive agreement, then it's not a contract.
  5. Bari falling down on the job there.
  6. The earliest were made of wood, yes. But from about the 1920s to the war, they were mostly made of steel. My parents grew up in South Arkansas, at the northern end of the Smackover Sands formation, where in the last six months of 1922, 1000 wells were drilled. They built derricks of whatever came to hand. I think the LA area oilfields were actually worse. But those steel ones in Union and Ouachita Counties in Arkansas sat there until the 70s and 80s. I climbed the one built in my Dad's back yard in the 20s in the 70s some time, about 40 years after my Dad did the same. That was probably inadvisable.
  7. Yeah, this kind of social media post is why I go find what was actually said and make sure the reporting was accurate. Propaganda from the good guys may be what the royal we need, but I sure as fuck don't.
  8. That's oldlaw. But he has expropriated so many Congressional funds it might be hard for him to come up with that. Some asshole like Elmo will donate it though.
  9. Show's you what a fragile dumbass he is in reality as he actually tried to argue back. That's one where you just take your lumps or leave.
  10. God forbid the piece of shit should pay more taxes.
  11. Funny thing, though. Although most of us of a certain age are used to seeing oil derricks, they mostly fell out of use after WWII. Unless you want to count the mast of a driling rig as a derrick. Kind of wild when you think about erecting several tons and a couple hundred feet of steel to drill a well and just leaving it there when you're done.
  12. Jack definitely has blue balls.
  13. The internal machinations of the Democratic Party are fascism now. Interdasting. I'm just gonna bet that you didn't know that there were no primary elections in America until 1890.
  14. Yep and their efforts are highly effective, even if temporary.
