iirc you gotta spend that money on wages to get the loans blanked. I'm okay with that

Sure and I agree there should be a fund for wages specifically, but it's sucks for small operations that do specialized work and have no staff.

We like North Texas Food Bank, though that is mostly because showings of A Christmas Carol at the Wily are fundraisers for it.

Is there a good way to donate to local businesses around the DFW area? Is there like a small business relief fund I can give half of my stimulus to once I get the check? Otherwise I'll just buy gift cards to my usual haunts and never spend them

He was on Joe Rogan not too long ago. His healthcare stance was hilarious and he was not expecting for Rogan to make him explain how healthcare differs from public services like the Fire department.

Also he got asked right away about the books and if he read them all..he said he dabbles in books and just kind of glances through books

Crenshaw is one of those limnal Republicans without a political constituency like Ben Sasse or Jeff Flake, and he'll get bounced either through a primary challenge or district demo shifts

https://mobile.twitter.com/TheStalwart/status/1252249948067966982

Next session's budget is gonna be a bloodbath. Like seriously if you rely on any sort of state funded or administered aid, if you can move states, do so.

The May contract expires tomorrow and June is holding above $22 (for now) so I think it's just a massive bloodbath for the ETFs that can't take delivery and thought that playing in commodities to make money was a great idea.

Change your name to Oil.



This was the BRE in '19, you can see that O&G taxes account for about 10% of revenue directly. But there's a huge knock-on effect to the sales tax base in terms of workers who won't be spending money, companies that won't be purchasing exploration and extraction services or equipment, and other downstream effects. Sales tax revenues are going to completely crater in west Texas.

Yes. The price just got below $5 and 1973 prices. The differential between the Permian Basin and Cushing is about $3 so no one is making money if they are getting these prices.
