  1. Chevron already has 7,000 employees in Houston and 2,000 in San Ramon. No idea how much excess space they have in downtown as they have offices in the old Enron building. Also, I think the corporate employees may work from home either 2 or 3 days per week.

    Double Dave's?

    I swear of the freshman 15 I gained, more like 20, at least 10 of those could be attributed to the buffet at Mr. Gatti's off MLK. 

    My freshman 25 was a combination of beer and a large Gumby’s pizza every weekday around midnight. If I ate like that now, I would need a scooter to get around.

    Well using centerpoint as an example... They took in $6.5B in profit last year, but spent evidently nothing on infrastructure hardening or disaster prep. But they raised our rates nonetheless and goosed their profits to all time highs

    A state sanctioned monopoly gouging customers and then leaving them in the dark, while raking in beaucoup bucks is a decent starting point of example

    Can you please stop citing this bullshit?

    Centerpoint had net income of $917 million in 2023. Centerpoint generated net cash flows of $18 million in 2023 after considering capex of $4.4 billion and dividends of $535 million.

    Learn the difference between gross vs net.

    You’re basically citing a 2000 dot-com financial metric - “EBE” or Earnings before expenses.

  4. I struggle with any poll that has Kennedy receiving greater than 3% of the vote. The last independent candidate to get that high of a percentage was Gary Johnson. 

    Where do the people who are Kennedy voters in these polls actually end up?

    It’s easy to be upset with Biden about Gaza or his age and tell a pollster that I’m pulling the lever for Kennedy. It’s a completely different thing to actually do it in the voting booth.
