Remind Pruitt of former EPA head Ann Burford (Neil Gorsuch’s mom) cozy relationship with Chemical Waste Management, Inc (west suburban Chicago) on the plan to burn 80 million gallons of highly toxic waste (anything from spent solvents to chemical warfare agents) out in the middle of the ocean (Gulf of Mexico). Have…
CAP is dealing with this serious issue very seriously in a “third way” sort of way. The right may think that this is all just office flirting. The left may think this is workplace sexual harassment. The third way thinks whatever the moneyed class wants them to think. Let’s find common ground, folks. Sexual harassment…
Broker fees are pretty much a tax on the investor class to support their college buddies working in retail finance and wealth management. They couldn’t get a job with the big skimmers like hedge funds, investment banks, private equity and trading houses - so they’re stuck with the crumbs. Maybe similar to us blog…
Wheaton College lost its evangelization omph when the town went wet in the early 1980s. Sure there was the occasional outlyer. Wheaton was also the home of the Midwest headquarters of the John Birch Society in the 1960s. Just down the street from the Bill Graham center that got built in the 1970s.
One thing Trump has successfully done is fully harmonize urban/suburban white ethnics and exurban/rural whites. Reagan and Bush tried with scattershot results. Trump as King of Queens has merged with the Christian Broadcasting Network. Back in my day, a guy from the big city with an Italian sounding last name couldn’t…
While there is licensure for geology as a professional geologist (PG), that does not mean that someone with just a BA in geology can’t call himself a geologists. A PG is pretty much only useful for environmental remediation work, where contamination investigation needs some sort of validation or work signoff. Most…
This is pure happenstance. There’s only 175,000 lawyers in New York City out of a total population of almost 20 million. That’s only 1 lawyer for every 110 people. So easily explained why Cohen’s client list includes both Trump and Hannity. Fake news. Sad. Slimeballs.
Illinois was one of the first states to ratify equal rights at the state level. This was the 1970 Constitutional Convention or ConCon
Centrist: likes republican fiscal policy, OK with the, you know, those people, and really do not want to be associated with hayseeds and rubes. Like Cletus and Ethyl in southern Illinois gives a flying fuck what David Brooks says.
And site preparations including clearing, grubbing, cutting, filling, pushing, hauling for the Trump’s Mexico border wall.
Foxconn will be making a lot of flat screen TVs and monitors up dere in cheeseland. They’ll need a secured source of silica sand, too. Wisconsin is the Saudi Arabia of silica sand used for oil and gas shale fracking all over the US. A cheaper source of similar quality is now being mined in Texas. So maybe there’s some…
Ryan will go back to Wisconsin and do business development for the family business Ryan Inc. Central of Janesville. It’s an earthmoving contractor who does well as long as big government is writing checks. Examples include: spreading dirt on top of Superfund sites; moving dirt for a runway at O’Hare Airport; moving…
You just have to be against shia and sunni muslims will be OK with whatever is done out of DoS and DoD. It’s not like we don’t run every foreign endeavoring past Saudi Arabia first. It is the Vatican of islam and next to Israel for crying out loud. It’s like being a president that’s considered as good for Christians.…
If you’re running a bigass chemical plant in say Louisiana or Tennessee what you want is a permit to discharge into the water, air and land that puts a bunch of the burden of said discharge onto the government. The polluter can say, “hey, I’m allowed to discharge that.”
Scott just needs to go on TV and give a Checkers speech. It worked for Nixon’s chicanery. Pruitt is apparently a good christian so there could be some Christ tie in to his ever growing imbroglio of his own making.
Everytime I read Brett Stephens and Frank Bruni of the New York Times whale on and on about liberal arts schools having too many liberal students and professors - I thank the good lord that I attended a mining college and majored in chemical engineering in the 1980s. I’ve been a big dumb libtard Chicago democrat since…
I realize it’s the boring shit, but here’s a pretty good list of all the environmental rollbacks Trump et al (Pruitt and Zinke and Perry and Wilbur Fucking Ross and an army of industry lobbyists and cocksuckers) have done so far.
