The US Gulf Coast has gotten more snow this winter than in some parts of Northern CO. Now, add in CA fires, Helene, record-breaking heat AND cold, etc. But let's boost drilling. Gawd, we've become a verifiable idiocracy. Please, God -- let the pendulum swing back to something resembling sanity.

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."
