For what it’s worth, I’m still hoping Bill Gates will like my toilet idea over his foundation’s toilet idea. Nothing like taking a shit sitting on the Windows ME equivelent of crappers. Stupid billionaires. 

My little township run by the Regular Democratic Party of Cook County located just upwind of Chicago took Bernie to eleven on referenda:

The Society of Amalgamated Agriculture Chemicals for Freedom and Jobs and Prosperity for America’s Hardworking Farm Families approves of Sonny’s message. Modern day cotton pickers favorite pesticide (herbicide) dicamba may get banned after several summers of “dicamba drift(1).” And don’t forget, chlorpyrifos…

Come on, the Reagan years were hard on fresh-grad petroleum geologists like John Hickenlooper and Ryan Zinke back in the early 1980s.

Corporate image and communications example:

Halliburton is doing the work nobody wants to do like potato peeling, sandbagging, forward base construction, and whatnot. Work that nobody wants to do has the highest markup. Just ask Red Adair, the dude who put out the well fires in Kuwait. Suppliers of goods are limited on how much they can mark up a unit sold to…

Hiring DoD brass is one of the best marketing moves for securing bigass DoD contracts. “Director of Government Services - Facilities Engineering and Construction Business Development” pays a shitload And a sweet sweet office.

That was 420 - the per share price to take Tesla private.

Not to pile on grassy knolls here, with the American Top Team and all, but... 

Because Koch finally covered the pile of petcoke so the air there is as fresh as the air of central Illinois after the third or fourth application of Roundup on Roundup ready Bt corn. 

Average salary for a chief sustainability officer (CSO) is about $220,000 plus benefits and profit sharing. This is a shiny object job so conglomerates and whatnots can play hide the carbon sausage. That’s almost like Tesla Model X kina money.

The market around Bakken is small. The amount of oil being produced from the Bakken tight rock is big. That oil needs to be taken away to markets. It makes more sense to take away Bakken oil as a light crude and refine it at any market that wants it, then it does to refine the crude locally and takeaway individual…

I’d say it’s all standard ops as far as the US charity-industrial complex goes. That is until all UC system construction contracts all go to AECOM as sole sourced. Then it might be a bit extreme. Maybe The Diane Feinstein and Richard Blum Memorial Stadium at UC Riverside will bring football to the valley on par with…

Maybe a champion, then?
