I thought the people who got that money were carpetbaggers from out of state? The people who always benefit when there's a wildcat boom. (Well, the people who really benefit are fat cats back in NYC, but that's for everything.)

No a lot of people who owned land made out like bandits. I have a lot of friends from NoDak (most left cause they have more than 4 teeth) and some of their families did very very well.

Of course that didn't last very long. I have one buddy from Dickenson who will never go back there because of what oil did to that town.

Speaking of Dickenson, I wonder where the poster RockDoc went, I haven't seen him post in along time.

Problem is that a lot of dirt farmers out there sold the mineral rights long ago.
 
A brilliant GFY to DeathSantis.

Democrat Charlie Crist on Saturday tapped Miami-Dade County teachers union president Karla Hernandez-Mats as his running mate as he challenges Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida.

Crist, a congressman who served as the state’s Republican governor a decade ago, announced United Teachers of Dade President Hernandez-Mats as his lieutenant governor pick at a brief rally in South Florida, describing her as a compassionate former teacher of special needs children with the “heart” necessary to govern.

“Caring, loving, empathic, compassionate — that’s what we don’t have in the governor’s office right now and that’s what you deserve to have in the governor’s office,” Crist said before introducing Hernandez-Mats to the crowd.

The selection of Hernandez-Mats ensures a campaign focus on education, an arena where DeSantis has had success in animating his conservative base through his hands-off approach to the coronavirus pandemic and policies limiting classroom discussions of race and LGBTQ issues.

Crist secured the Democratic nomination this week after a campaign that focused heavily on criticizing DeSantis as a “bully” who gained political prominence through his willingness to exploit cultural divides on gender, sexuality and race.

Remember when Texas passed a law a few weeks back requiring:
"Sign must contain "In God We Trust" US flag, Texas flag and "may not depict" any other words or images,"

Well, an artist from Florida has taken Texas up on the challenge and raised donations (per the law) to produce signs (again, per the law) thst read "In God We Trust," with an American flag and Texas flag.

The signs:
in_god_we_trust-_texas_arabic-language_edition-543d88e6985236d7405c05e8d4dbe21e0226e3fe-s900-c85.webp


The artist is hoping to start donating these signs to Texas schools and institutions soon.
