NYC based corporations
Posted by Roughneck2020 on 1/28/26 at 2:23 pm
It seems like corporations based in NYC would have a duty to their shareholders to move out of the city if the socialists go through with tax hikes. It seems like the shareholders could force them to move. Corporations have to maximize shareholder value.
re: Wind and solar in Texas

“There is a huge difference between how tax deductions are handled by the oil industry versus subsidies given to wind and solar. Wind and solar need to be self sufficient. Plus, what is the value in royalties paid by the oil industry offshore and on BLM land?”
Most people don’t realize the amount of property taxes paid by oil companies. Every well is given a value and both the working interest owners and royalty owners pay property taxes on that assessed value. Every well you see is like a house that pays property taxes. A lot of those wells are the equivalent of the largest mansions in the state when it comes to tax revenue. Nothing helps a state’s budget like drilling, completing, producing, processing, and transporting oil and gas.

When I was growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, we used to joke about yelling “Federales” at construction sites. It was common for Border Patrol to just pull up and haul off illegals. We need to get back to that. If they’re here illegally, send them back. The goal should be to try to get demographics back to where it was before the gates were open. We need to do it now before 30,000,000 million illegals breed and become 100,000,000 low IQ voters with their hands out.

Shawn Ryan episode #199. This is a good summary of what Tebow is about. He is a hero both for his work with special needs kids and especially his work to rescue trafficked kids.

Almost all water in the ground is salty. The rocks were deposited in a marine environment. Only shallow fresh water sands and aquifers are fresh. These intervals have to be isolated and protected from salt water and hydrocarbon bearing zones.

They need more recycle pits to treat the water and then reuse it for their frac jobs. An exemption from severance taxes for wells fracked with salt water would be nice and also for any refrac, not just certain wells.
re: Do you care about your doctor's MCAT/GPA?

As someone who has lived through it and is triple boarded. There's enough boards to weed people out that mcat and GPA don't matter much. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Licensing exam (abim for internal medicine, etc) That weeds people out. And even then, the variability between myself and colleagues is so wide as well
I would argue that the quality of a med school education is improved by improving the quality of students. Excellence promotes excellence, iron sharpens iron, etc.

My white daughter had a 3.75 from U of Texas (Austin) and an MCAT score of 510. She got into one of the lesser med schools in Texas a week before classes started because someone decided not to go to this school. It was her last choice. She set the curve in almost all of her classes and was 99th percentile on step 2 test. She’s a resident at Baylor College of Medicine now. The admissions policies need to change. Our doctors need to be the best of the best.

Guayaki Yerba Mate. Revel Berry flavor. I like these much better than any energy drinks. It’s an Argentinian tea. 150 mg caffeine per can

Lots of reasons to have doubts. Listen to this Joe Rogan episode. It’s hard to argue shadows going different directions.

re: Until I actually see the list and Trump’s name is on it….
Posted by Roughneck2020 on 7/16/25 at 8:52 pm to Kentucker
I think Trump is worried about his family’s safety. I also think Trump’s team is using the Epstein info to manipulate the people on the list, flight logs, videos, etc.

There are victims available to testify. Y’all are trying to justify the DOJ refusing to investigate legitimate rape and kidnapping.

I wish a reporter would ask Trump if he would want an old man prosecuted if that man raped Ivana or Kai when they were 14.
re: How did we wind up at *ODDS* with Iran? Scott Horton explains.
Posted by Roughneck2020 on 7/10/25 at 10:11 am to SouthEasternKaiju
I didn’t listen to the podcast and haven’t read all of this thread. I don’t understand why Tucker doesn’t want regime change in Iran. Have their leaders said death to America? Do they consider all of us infidels? Do Iranian women have to wear bedsheets and are they treated like dogs? I’ve seen the photos and videos of Iran in the 1970’s. Why do we not want that for Iran? It seems like the Iranian people want that also.

Yep, we may not have built the buildings but certainly taught them how to drill and produce oil.

It’s time for Kash et al to show Tillis his browser history and his bank records for the last 20 years. If nothing is there, it’s time to generate something and put it there. It’s time to play dirty.

Why isn’t this trending #1 on X? This should dominate the news. All parties need to be held accountable.
