The Climate thread
What about natural gas? Plenty of it, and significantly reduced emissions.

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
The Texas Revolution had very little, if anything, to do with slavery. It had everything to do with the tyranny of Santa Anna.

RIP Dusty Hill
This fucking sucks. Saw them many times, most recently on their 50th anniversary tour at COTA two years ago. Was planning to see them in Vegas later this year.

He should have gone to Dirty's for the OT Special.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Pretty much anywhere the wife and I go there are signs that masks are optional for vaccinated people (we both have ours), but required for unvaccinated. I find it amazing that apparently EVERYBODY at the businesses, stores, restaurants, etc. that we've been to the last few weeks are vaccinated.

I'm thinking this is a reflection of who you are spending time with/around. I have family in Midland and have spent a lot of time there over the years and never heard it. And as for the coast, multiple trips a year to Port Aransas for the last 30+ years and never hear the word.

No doubt they have the right to vote. But they need to prove who they are somehow, be it a voter ID, regular ID, something. With the amount of money the government spends elsewhere ($1million a foot or whatever for the wall), a free ID to whomever needs one doesn't seem like a bad thing.

Critical Race Theory policy in hiring at UT
Gonna go out on a limb here and say people in favor of CRT might also have some involvement on the Democrat side of things. And they could still be normal parents.

Microsoft paid $0 taxes on $315 Billion in profits in 2020.
Maybe it's an S-corp?

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
Gas didn't go above $2/gallon during Bush 1's term. It was about halfway through W's term when it happened. Probably something to do with a war, supply and demand, inflation, etc.

Just got back from Isla Mujeres
Hate to hear that about Ballyhoo. We hit the island around 1:30 on Wednesday and we're planning to stop there for a late lunch on our walk to Aluxes.

Voter ID and Digital Passports
Needed for employment, renting a place as well. Most people have a form of identification, poor or not.

Voter ID and Digital Passports
An ID is required to do a number of things - drive, open a bank account, set up utilities, buy property, travel on an airplane, etc. I don't see the problem with needing one to vote.

God. We have a problem, or do we?
Not a church goer, because they have gotten so far from what they should be. But I do believe, wife and I say the blessing each night at dinner, and I pray fairly often. I will say I feel that as society slides further away from religion - be it church attendance or simply believing and following the principals taught, it slides further away from morality, teaching what is right, honor, respect, good deeds, etc. Just my opinion.

Joe Biden 2021
Yes, this is good. Sending $1400 checks to prisoners across the country who aren't working anyway because they are in jail is not so good.
