In Texas idling rigs make more than mining crypto

    Like how? Are you enjoying the drought and winner take all capitalist model where only the 1%ers win? I highly doubt you belong to them. And I doubt you got a better housing deal in Texas than in Washington state. Gotta say, worst choice ever. Left best ocean and river salmon fishing waters for 120 degree summers. Must feel awesome. At least your steaks got bigger.

    To each his own.

    BC, Canada is a left province (according to the elected government) but folks in the center and north are extremely conservative and hard working. Lots of mining and timber operations where I live, hard working folks, but they all also love the outdoors, boating, fishing, hunting, mountain biking. From the number of yanks that head here every year it must be pretty good in comparison. I bet you find the same in Washington and Oregon.

    Again, I can't find a single reason why I would ever want to move to heat and drought hell, shit rivers and lakes, oil infested ocean, and business business business, Texas to me is all about pompous money making addicts who do very little else in life than work. Hardly ever met a Texan travelling anywhere in the US or in the world. Even in Texas there is hardly anything to see. 2 national parks, Big Bend and Guadalupe. That's it.

  4. That’s all well and good. But conservatives vote Republican. The majority of Republicans support Trump.

    Nuff said.

    I posted what I believe as a Conservative.
    Mr Trump has already proven he values conservative ideas.
    If he's not in prison, he will get my vote again.

    How odd, liberals always resort to what they consider
    negative positions for conservatives, but never
    espouse their ideas.

    Do they have any, other than aborting babies
    grooming children for pedophiles, and saving
    the environment from dubious climate change?

    I assume you are strong minded enough to see the irony in your own post.

    The only thing I see, are people of the liberal persuasion who can't,
    or won't espouse their ideas? WHY? (most of us know why)

    There are a hundred reasons why I could never be a democrat.
    Since there may be children reading this Forum, I'll skip reasons 1 through 4 and just purse over reason #5

    Under liberal politics, their only solution for everything is raising taxes. Which eventually leads to a limitation of autonomous freedom for the individual when you continue to take his hard earned income.

    What happened to insurance rates after Mr Obama fiddled
    with the Healthcare system?

    What happens to any infrastructure when you continue to raise taxes
    for welfare programs to support illegal aliens?

    What happens when liberal politicians think it's their responsibility
    to fix income inequality? HINT: Think more corporate taxes which
    is always handed down to consumers.

    I could go on in this vein, but I'll just make one further point.
    Your genius of a president currently in office, is under the delusion
    tax increases could slow the growth of the federal debt!
    All while Congress continues to spend money like everyday is Christmas.

    See the difference? Do you trade this way too? Or is there a mind behind your
    PC that can discuss ideas. IF not, head back to the sand box with the kids
    and leave adults alone.:sneaky:

    So the answer is “No.”

    Plus you’re thin skinned too, like a conservative. A tongue in cheek joke about the Texas power grid got you all riled up.

    For fun my rebuttal.

    "Read my lips. No new taxes"

    Still waiting for that republican plan that's 7 years in the making.

    Build Back Better Baby. What was the Trump plan?

    Personally I believe Trickle down economics is awesome. I got a 1MM tax break under trump, it trickled down to Bringatrailer.

    Republican's control Congress, so ummm.....

    I would wager dollars to donuts that I have earned more this year than your net worth. Statistically speaking, that's a 95% expectancy.
