This is good reporting and all that but here's the thing I learned the other day: Bill Pulte, the 50-year-mortgage dude and the guy who keeps pulling the mortgage docs of Trump's enemies is only 37 years old.

Haven't we been going back and forth about this particular tract of land since the Clinton years? And nobody ever actually starts drilling there, because they don't want to invest the money and get shut down the next time a Dem is in the White House? Filing this under "not worrying about it."
The Trump administration on Thursday finalized its rollback of Biden-era limits on oil and gas drilling in an Alaska area that is the nation's largest tract of undisturbed public land.

This reminds me of when my son was 8, and he and I sat around weighing pennies to find out exactly when they switched from copper to copper-plated zinc. He got really excited and said he was going to tell his teacher about it and I was thinking maybe don't tell her Daddy has a .1 gram scale?
