So if you're in a relatively strong position compared to the other shitters out there, you absolutely do not want RRC forcing cuts on everyone.

It also takes money to cap wells for future use and spending money on that is something a business will not naturally choose to do

Guess who has relatively strong positions, long term contracts or refineries to take their oil, and low debt loads to buy distressed smaller companies. The next RRC meeting is May 5th, so there are going to be some fireworks from Sitton being pissed off at them abdicating why regulations were there in the first place and Christian and Craddick going "aww shucks, if they die, they die."

I mean they'll either strictly limit the attendance at the games (which will cause near-riots) or they'll have no-attendance games but for TV money reasons every school will try to have football this fall; otherwise every other sport that isn't basketball will be at real risk of folding

So maybe the five Power 5 conferences will do it, but all the mid and small colleges won't bother.

Which, I suspect, is why A&M is announcing prematurely that students will be back. And the fact that A&M is the first to announce this definitely has absolutely nothing to do with the combination of Jimbo Fisher’s insane megamillions guaranteed contract and A&M boosters being disproportionately hit by the cratering oil & gas market.

I teach at one of the A&M's, and the word we've gotten is that we should be open for Fall. HOWEVER, social distancing may require that some classes be online because we can't simply fit 50 students into a 50 capacity classroom and have them all sit six feet apart. What are we gonna do about it? Who knows! There's basically no direction or certainty and take anything the schools say with a grain of salt. All my Summer classes are online now and I expect some of my Fall classes will be too.

Yeah they wanted to repeal Obamacare too, but once people get benefits it's really hard to take them away. Impoverishing hundreds of thousands of Texans with a stroke of a pen is a pretty big electoral risk. This is why they are rushing to force open the economy somehow to avoid this.

Once again, the grey market eight liner industry benefits from its grey legal status. I'll eyeball tomorrow on my drive down Highway 6 to Galveston, but I'm almost sure they'll crank right back up. And, honestly, broader problem that solves itself there.

I'm blessed that my school has an oddly non-lovely football coach that actually holds his players accountable and reports his own players to title IX when they're shitheads. The only problem is that our title IX is even worse and doesn't actually act on anything (hopefully that's changing soon though).

But I've been reading this poo poo for so long that I have come to view you as a very particularly Texan source of information, so I did some basic searching to decipher what the hell you were talking about, and this seems like an interesting topic. On its face, the whole eight liner deal (or "maquinitas" in Spanish speaking Tejas) is just slot machines. Not that interesting. If you drive into Louisiana or fly into Vegas, you'll find slot machines in gas stations and bars and everywhere, like most people know. What's weird is that you will also notice this in, especially, rural Texas, and it's clear that they're for gambling. A lot of Pakistani mini-marts have them around here, where the machines pay out in store credit or cash cards or suchlike. Then there are these poo poo buildings with blacked out windows, almost invariably a failed small business from yesteryear, painted purple or green or black or beige with nothing but a neon OPEN sign and maybe a sign that says POG out front, and they're essentially slot machine dens packed with, usually, a mix of poor and working class folks playing on discarded lovely old slot machines. The reason I ever knew about them, having lived overseas for the last 14 years (during which time they cropped up - they were not a thing when I was younger) is that the police chief in what passes for my hometown, a legit good police chief who was so good that when he tried to run for JP no one would vote for him in order to force him to remain police chief, busted one of these things one time and found his own mother inside. My mother sent me the article from the local paper. Classic small town Texas. Anyway, the legality they skate in on is, essentially, "You can win poo poo at Dave and Busters and at the County Fair, so this is no different." based on old laws that allow for games like skeeball or whatever that award up to a certain amount. There are constant court cases by local cities and counties and so on trying to pierce this or regulate as a lottery or something else, but so far no luck. Obviously, in practice, these places are way breaking even those laws, but sort of like SOB industries, they try to appear to follow the rules. What I have not looked into, and am curious to find out, is who is behind these. At least out here in this part of rural Guff Coast Texas. I'm sure many, maybe even most, are some person who owns just one - maybe a few - but as with most grey market things, I bet if you dig and dig it'll turn out there are a few people in networks who actually own a huge number of these things that they open and close as needed. EDIT: To circle back to clarifying the point of my earlier post, they closed a week or so later than everything else because they weren't listed in the banned businesses precisely because they're not regulated businesses in the first place owing to their gray market status. So, tomorrow, I'm guessing they'll ride right back in under that same table and throw the doors open. ReindeerF fucked around with this message at 12:22 on May 1, 2020 |

What are we gonna do about it? Who knows! I teach in the UT System and we were basically told the same thing - prepare for 25% online instruction (i.e., no big lecture courses), no mass gatherings, still respect social distancing guidelines, etc. This will probably be the norm for all of next year, if not the next two.

Total non sequitur, but since I am legally stuck here I have been forced to get a cell phone plan and I am getting Amber Alerts. Fine, whatever, great idea, I believe the children are the future, etc. Thing is, I click OK and then I get the same alert again after a few minutes. Then I click OK again and I get it again after a few minutes. Sometimes this goes on for a while. Is there a button for "OKAY, I FUCKIN' GOT IT Y'ALL, drat" that I'm not seeing? Please, fellow Texans, offer aid in my forced, hopefully temporary repatriation to my ancestral homeland that I love.
