Although Tom Ragsdale’s oil companies owe New Mexico more than $3.5 million for pollution and unpaid fees, the state has recovered only about $50,000.

Drillers across the industry have employed similar tactics in what is known as “the playbook.”

(Published Dec. 2024)
The American Oil Industry’s Playbook, Illustrated: How Drillers Offload Costly Cleanup Onto the Public
Oil executive Tom Ragsdale walked away from his old wells, making the pollution left behind the state of New Mexico’s problem. His tactics, however, are ubiquitous in the industry.

President Donald Trump’s high-profile economic speech on Tuesday night was meant to alleviate Americans’ concerns about the cost of living.

Instead, it mainly appeared to deepen fears within the GOP that he’s not quite getting it.

We can laugh about how stupid this is, but at the end of the day, a not-insignificant number of parents will believe the CDC and refuse to vaccinate. And some of their children will die because of it.

President Trump’s lawless tax giveaways are costing America big-time.

Why is he giving billions to corporations while families are forced to choose — put food on the table or fill a kid’s prescription? Keep the heat on or save for Thanksgiving turkey?

This rank corruption knows no bounds.

The sheer number of people Trump pardoned — 1,500+ — and the magnitude of violence many (most?) of them committed means it is statistically likely that a fair number will be revidivists, potentially for more egregious crimes. The pardons should be a top story EVERY DAY
Welcome to “justice” in Donald Trump’s America.

SNAP does not increase earnings, though it does enable 44 million to continue working at jobs with pay so low that it requires subsidies for food.

22 million losing affordable health care means 66 million may need SNAP benefits.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.
