I know lots of wealthy people from prep school, college, and several decades of business consulting, all of whom seemed like decent folks at the time. Yet now, I sometimes wonder how many are Trump donors.  It’s upsetting just to think about it.

The Permian Basin is a vast sedimentary basin in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico that is the largest oil and gas-producing region in the United States.

I just got an email from “East Daley,” whose white paper Permian Basin at a Crossroads “breaks down who stands to benefit—and who’s at risk.”

Who’s at risk: The eight-plus billion people on this planet who, along with their descendants, are counting on a stable climate.

As someone posted, “Biden was far from perfect, but at least we didn’t wake up every morning wondering what new form of hell was awaiting us.”
