I'm the choir on that one, Brother Biff. 

A confluence of factors led to this place where we are. Advertising. Slack education. Grad students. The press becoming overrun with college boys and girls who learned templates in school rather than learning how to find news and how not to treat every story the same.

It's a shit show.

Agree, but the reason for the aversion to paying taxes and also not understanding why taxes actually exist in our system is due to both lack of education and also a right wing propaganda machine the likes of which no one had ever seen. 

Willful indoctrination. If you shut down Fox, they'd subscribe to another equally or worse because they need to believe a justification for their racism. Their sole, core fundamental belief is that they're god's chosen people, based on being white.  They couldn't point to Jerusalem on a map, or the Gaza Strip, or Pakistan, or Iraq, but they don't care.  They are the sun that everything else orbits.  The time has never been better for smallpox. We all know what needs to be done and have the cure, but they wouldn't take it and now we have those in power that would forbid the vaccine.

A Dallas millionaire is seeking permission to drill into the massive Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer to explore how much water is available. His enterprise, if fully realized, could drain 15.9 billion gallons of water from the massive body each year — more than triple the amount the city of Longview uses in a year.

 

Kyle Bass, through his company Conservation Equity Management, sees opportunity in the expanse of the aquifer, which has gone largely unstudied, to quench the thirst of the growing state. He purchased more than 11,000 acres in East Texas and plans to install more than 40 high-capacity water wells in Anderson, Houston and Henderson counties.

We all know East Texas voted for its own demise here .. "Conservation Equity", what a fucking name

“The big government is pointing fingers at our local government,” she said. “You know, you can play the blame game all day long, but at the end of the day, it was a horrible situation.”

It’s not local government that’s the problem—it’s the soulless, behemoth that is big government. The same sanctimonious machine that offered the money that would have paid for a warning system — twice — then sat back as nothing got built, no one got warned, and people died.

What a name indeed... Looks like they are trying to pull most of this water from a relatively small area, with many wells near their property lines. This property is in the extreme SW corner of Anderson county. I'd be pissed if I was their neighbor.

Sidenote:

That area is in the Elkhart-Mount Enterprise fault zone, a zone associated with salt related structures in the East Texas Salt Basin. Due to the faulting and structures, naturally occurring crude oil from deeper reservoirs/shales (Austin Chalk-Eagle Ford-Woodbine) has migrated upwards via faults and filled many of these shallow sands (Queen City-Carrizo-Wilcox) over geologic time. It has since become biodegraded and heavy. There are a few commercial heavy oil fields producing from the Carrizo and Wilcox, but the oil is literally everywhere in this region of Anderson county in some quantity.

Water for small local municipalities pump fresh water out of zones in lateral contact with the heavy crude oil. I am nearly positive that these small municipalities and private well operators do not look for organic components (they do what they are required by regulatory agencies). There are highly likely naturally occurring, dangerous, soluble organic compounds (VOCs, BETX) in a lot of the drinking water, at what concentrations, Idk. I guess that's what you get with limiting regulatory requirements. Leopards and all that.

In summary, some rural folks may already be fucked. I know I wouldn't drink the water from the faulted areas without sufficient testing for those specific contaminants.

Not A Damn Penny

Kerrville finding out owning the libs is lonely and expensive. 

I'm sure this will lead to some self reflection. 

“Not a damned penny came through this gate from my taxpaying dollars,” he said on Tuesday as he looked at the twisted trees and piles of debris that still litter his property and beyond. “And I don’t understand why.”

Mr. Richards is one of many residents planning to confront members of a Texas legislative committee on Thursday at a flood hearing in Kerr County, which suffered the brunt of the 136 known deaths in the Texas Hill Country. Kerr County’s 100 dead included at least 27 counselors and campers from devastated Camp Mystic, most of them from two cabins near the river.

 

From the early days of the tragedy, officials in Kerr County have faced questions about the weak local government response and lack of alarms systems along the river. They have been at a loss to explain why they failed to secure grant funding for a flood warning system in recent years.

Mr. Richards doesn't seem to understand that his taxes paid for the roads and other infrastructure. If he wants county or state sponsored disaster insurance, he better be ready for some major tax increases. 

Or blame the libtards and immigrants harder

Or bootstraps

Living in a Republican state is ok until something goes wrong. Then you're on your fucking own. But you get to have your 40 guns with massive drum magazines you've spent $50k acquiring to shoot expensive ammo at paper targets and bullet traps. And you get to have the knowledge that women are being fucked over if they have any significant issue with pregnancy. So there you go Mr. Dumbass

You also get to force your false religion onto the schoolchildren of this state in hopes that they get indoctrinated.

I read the article and kept thinking, the same as y'all, What did you expect, Dickhead.

I further noted that all of his tax dollars from last year coming through that gate wouldn't cover the costs of restoring Rancho Redneck. That's without even deducting money that went for schools, roads, cops, and the Defense Department.

He likely knows that he would be calling upon the tax dollars of sympathetic, forward thinking "fellow" citizens whose taxes contribute to an insurance pool for the common good.

Mr. Cowboy Hat Fuckwad can't even bring himself to acknowledge the help would come from somewhere other than his bootstrapping, frontiersman self.

Enjoy the rotting tree trunks and flotsam. Yeeeeee-haw!

Rec Center? Sounds like a socialist education center. We'll be pulling the funding for that anyway, so no big loss. 

sounds like one of those places in New York where the negroes play basketball at midnight.  We don't need any of that around here.

"But Mussolini, who was never a stickler for the truth, was quick to exploit any circumstance to his own benefit, and portrayed the popular perception of punctuality as a “battle” he had won. Other battles that produced dubious results included the Battle for Births to increase population, which actually went down in number; the Battle for Grain to strengthen the economy, but caused hunger among the poor; and the Battle for the Lira (the basic unit of Italian currency), which increased unemployment.

Because these claims and lies (the “big lies”) were issued publicly and repeated often, the common people  that Mussolini actually deplored eventually accepted it as fact."

Slowing hydrogen projects just as we are starting to get a good idea about how to find and tap pockets of hydrogen in the Earth.  Nah.  Let's burn more oil and coal instead.

County went 70.9% for Trump. I assume “lack of demand” for the rail industry is directly related to tariffs. This is a drop in the bucket but the trickle down from the tariffs is going to be awful.
https://www.chron.com/business/article/trinity-tank-car-longview-lay-off-170-employees-20798529.php

In fact, since Jan. 1, over 30,000 freight-related layoffs have been announced, according to Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act notices. The most common reason cited for the layoffs was a simple lack of demand, although most companies did not provide a reason, according to reports from FreightWaves.


Hmmm. Weird.

I would imagine most in this thread are familiar w/ this account, but for those who aren't, click and read the thread.  I would argue that no one researches and crafts an argument better than he does.

So the interviewer is the Black Rifle Coffee guy?  I am aware, peripherally, of the Montana Knife guy.  That is a surprisingly nuanced discussion from them.

And this underscores something.  In addition to a goodly number of manufacturing-type jobs we really don't want back because they're menial and hazardous, there are certain industries/manufacturers where it just doesn't make any sense to try to compete domestically with them.  Germans and Swiss, for example, have always been good at precision specialty machine tools.  Like the blade-grinding machine where they make a dozen a year in Germany.  Neither the world nor the US needs another blade grinding machine manufacturer. 

Those things are kind of like coffee and bananas: it don't make no sense to have a domestic industry.  I'm relatively certain there are dozens upon dozens of examples of this that are being tariffed for no good reason at all.

ETA:  that derek guy makes these points, especially the garment industry.  I had to find a thread reader to read the thread.

Addendum to the above.  That guy, Stumpf, is not the Black Rifle Coffee guy.  He is somehow associated with it and is a former enlisted SEAL.

Given the tendencies of SF operators to be pretty complete meatheads (I'll kind of give the officers a pass here, Admiral McRaven), that guy is fairly impressive.
