The link opens well into the article. I have heard/read a few pundits who think the release is a great thing. My initial reaction based on my conservative nature about dealings with resources and reserves and such, was one of skepticism. This article makes sense to me. aWe will see, I guess. For anyone choosing to read it, I recommend the first few comments as well.

BTW….The cancelled Keystone pipeline was expected to transport 830,000 barrels of oil per day to refineries in Texas.

Maybe Biden can give Odessa to Russia and cut up Anderson Cooper in live TV - would that assuage the needy disappointed oil magnates?

Dad bought the gun 4 days before his son used it to kill 4 students, Mom carries too. Mom, 2016, posted letter to Trump: "You made the famous ‘grab them in the p*ssy’ comment, did it offend me? No,’ she wrote to Trump. ‘I say things all the time that people take the wrong way, do I mean them, not always. Do I agree that you should of [sic] shown your tax returns? No. I don’t care what you do or maybe don’t pay in taxes...thank you for allowing my right to bear arms,’

Adding, ‘Allowing me to be protected if I show a home to someone with bad intentions. Thank you for respecting that Amendment.’

submitted by artappraiser 1 day ago

Besides the reason it was written, to protect the rights of other women, this is one amazing story of a very admirable "poor little rich" black girl with incredible grit and fortitude, a lesson that the "privileged" can be living hellish lives, too.

Please read this brave and beautiful piece from ⁦⁦@michelebgoodwin⁩ I’m so grateful to her for writing it and am sending her my admiration and love. #MeToo

Even in a polarized era, deep divisions in both partisan coalitions

@ PewResearch.org, Nov. 9

We need at least 4 political parties, not 2; when oh when are people going to realize that? Otherwise, you're just going to end up with more and more Independents and nobody wanting to man the two parties except passionate weirdos about this that or the other thing (or narcissist populist). Maybe more ranked choice voting will help...

Gen Z is the most ethnically diverse generation in history and set to unseat millennials as the most educated generation, too.

More corruption (finally uncovered). I presume some private shelters are not corrupt? We spend billions to help people, and too much perpetuates NYC's social service provider industry (or is just stolen). Their goal? Keep the pipelines of cash flowing.https://t.co/hdh4ICqmRR
