  1. Re:Costs $150 per bbl to drill in Arctic on Obama Blocks Offshore Drilling In Atlantic, Arctic Areas (npr.org) · · Score: 0

    That number is absolutely incorrect. The cost of drilling is slightly more, but the cost of pumping it out of there is minimal since the pipelines are already in place.

    The key to keeping the price of energy low is to always be ready to increase production. Putting it off for five years would put us five years behind the curve. Look for Obama's order to be replaced by late 2017.

    Break out your dictionary. It's always available to help you.

  3. Re:Waaah! on IBM Employees Protest Cooperation With Donald Trump (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It is the silly hyperbole of calling Trump or his supporters neo-nazis or fascists that guarantees the Democrats will continue to lose elections. Start speaking rationally again.

  4. Re:Russia better watch out! on President Obama Threatens Retaliatory Actions Against Russia Over Hacks (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    And I will certainly supply it! But history shows us that Obama was spineless on the world stage. I see little reason to expect his last month to be any different.

    If they are not careful, Obama may be forced to do something drastic, like issue a strongly worded letter of condemnation!

    He did not admit that he made the edits. He was busted talking about it with friends.

  9. They should push an update that makes it so every time you swipe it, it pops up an alert saying, "Are you crazy? Stop using this phone!"

  10. Re:I feel sorry for you guys. No joke. on Trump Names Two Opponents of Net Neutrality To Oversee FCC Transition Team (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 0

    You misunderstand the situation. America just got away from a president who thought he was an emperor, passing laws by fiat. We now have a president who is going to undo those laws, and act like a president of old. Passing laws with the help of congress. It's going to be wonderful. And btw, sales of guns have dropped since he won the election. They were abnormally high under Obama, because, rightfully, no one trusted him to keep our freedoms intact.

    Don't cry for us. We are about to have explosive growth in our economy, and an increase in a few freedoms for all Americans. It's a good thing.

    Agreed. If they took intellectual property out of the equation, all would have been well.

    Free trade is great, but the TPP was mostly not about trade. It was about copyright.

    In none of your instances can he do worse than America has done in the last 8 years. I'm hopeful. He's the first real buisinessman we've had in power in centuries. Time will tell if it's good or bad. I'm hoping 'good'.

  14. Re:I somehow think Trump wont stop any mergers on Trump Victory Clouds Outlook for Time Warner-AT&T, Other Mergers (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Trump had to skirt some horrid regulations. Now he has the power to just remove those regulations. I too, doubt he will do anything bad for the economy. But monopolies are bad for the economy. If the merger doesn't go through by Jan 17th, It never will.
