It’s Probably Nothing
Two of the three largest oil rig operators and frackers are considering pulling back from the North American market as losses mount.
Schlumberger Ltd. — after posting its first North American operating loss since at least the turn of the century, according to Barclays Plc — is evaluating whether it’s worth temporarily shuttering its business in the region. Baker Hughes Inc. said Wednesday it has decided to limit its exposure to unprofitable onshore fracking work in North America because of the “unsustainable pricing.”
It’s the first time in at least a decade that those companies and Halliburton Co., the big 3 in oil services, all lost money in the region during the first three months of the year, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
It’s ok. Venezuela could never happen here.

Here, Tell These People Something They Don’t Know About Me
This is my third Trump event to witness in person (many more on TV) and it strikes me that they are becoming “happenings” for Middle America. They are unlike political events I have seen before. The most similar I have seen were rallies I attended for Bobby Kennedy years ago.

What the Heck are “Critical Thinking Skills” Anyway???
“But, as are with most things in academia, their championing of “critical thinking” is not merely an intellectually-void, navel-gazing, masturbation exercise to falsely validate handing out worthless doctorates and self-importance in a field that provides no value to society. It is to provide them authority over the rest of society. And it is here their nefarious and malicious intent is exposed.”

A special tax that will primarily affect livestock producers in Lethbridge County was passed April 21 by the county’s council.
Producers will pay $3 per animal unit in 2016, while farmland owners will also be subject to an additional tax, all of which is expected to raise $2.6 million this year for road and bridge repairs.
