@Jon_RosenthalTX Gathering companies should be required to make full ANSI rated repairs, rather than low pressure patches.

The Railroad Commission is supposed to be our watchdog, but they’ve acted like a rubber stamp for donors while our land pays the price. Engineering is about fixing what’s broken. I’m not just here to talk about the environment; I’m here to seal the leaks and stop the waste. (2/3)

Happy Earth Day. For most, today is about celebration. For an engineer, it’s about a site inspection. Right now, Texas has 11,000 orphaned wells leaking methane, a gas 80 times more potent at trapping heat than CO2. (1/3)

@KorrieWise @Confusedashall @nicksortor That would be impossible

@Confusedashall @nicksortor Actually yes we are producing more than those people. My brother in law runs a few of them where we live and he said US is producing 22 million Saudi is 11 million and Russia is 9.17 million. He said it probably won't double by next year though.

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP: "We are right now producing more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russian COMBINED!" "In about a year from now, we'll be doing about DOUBLE that level." "We don't have an oil shortage. We have 'drill, baby drill.'"

@MatrixMysteries Lower your bills

“I’m only living to work. There is no enjoyment.” She says both her and her husband work nonstop, yet there’s never enough left over to actually enjoy life. Their paychecks don’t create freedom — they only keep the bills paid. America has turned LIVING into mere survival.

@thenimmyjeutron @YIMBYLAND

@YIMBYLAND There already exists a 3.5 hour train that goes between Austin and San Antonio with a round trip costing $20-$30: the Amtrak Texas Eagle. Slightly longer than driving, but still worth it. You don't need to pay attention or worry about accidents on the Amtrak.

It's time to connect the Austin/San Antonio metroplex. - 5.3 million people. - Dedicated rail. - 15 Minute frequencies. - Clean, comfortable trains. - Transit oriented development. This would be a HOME RUN.

@middle_class_us Fake News

People are eating two meals a day. Not dieting. Not by choice. Because groceries don’t stretch anymore.

@DarkGaryGigsEm 5/10

at the best tex mex in austin, probably in texas where am i? where is dark gary? this looked a lot better when it came out, couldn’t control myself lmao

@Robbsal @Tironianae @CobyCovfefe This is his deal, not the Navy’s.

@Tironianae @CobyCovfefe Unless you aware of weapons systems and defense capabilities perhaps those complaining should hush. Apparently the Navy believes they have need for the ships or they wouldn’t pursue having them built.

BREAKING🚨 President Trump stuns America by announcing the construction of “two brand new, very large battleships... They'll be the fastest, the biggest, and by far 100x more powerful than any battleship ever built” LET’S FREAKING GO 🔥

No allegations. No scandals. No drama. Just a life-changing head ball coach

@MightyMuth24 @Kingfrog25 @DividendRob It’s insured by the FDIC, I am not sure what kind of account you would call it, but it has a debit card connected to it.

@Tex2Big @Kingfrog25 @DividendRob In a bank? Or high yield savings or money market fund?

My net worth is $118K 60 years ago you could retire with this What happened

@Shanny_live Buy a cheaper house, live within your means.

Idc if the average home price is $400K, if you make $80K, YOU CANT AFFORD IT! Have yall not learned anything from 2008?!!

@MightyMuth24 @Kingfrog25 @DividendRob Yes, I am getting 3.75 RN

Financial IQ is tied to it as well. Can you get a 3% to 5% rate of return in a bank? Nope, people have to get more aggressive and put their money in riskier endeavors. My grandparents weren’t financial geniuses. They knew how to save and get safe returns. That doesn’t really exist anymore. A devalued dollar puts people in a position to take more risk. Sadly many people don’t learn to adapt today. I mean 50%+ of people have no investable assets. They are tied to dollars. They get poorer every year.

@scottsantens This all comes down to standard of living and keeping up with Jones’

If you're complaining about too few kids being born, their cost is what you should be focused on. The solution is universal basic income, universal healthcare, and universal childcare. That's how to make raising kids more affordable.

@GinaHinojosaTX Why would you want to pull 20% of the funding for TX roads? We need more funding as it is.

Washington needs to act to bring down gas prices, but right now, Greg Abbott has the power to make gas 20 cents cheaper for every Texan driving to work. Suspend the gas tax now.

Hasan Piker: “If you steal from the poor, you become rich. If you steal from the wealthy, you go to prison. There’s only one direction where you can do unlimited theft. Wage theft is the most consequential amount of theft that takes place in the United States of America”

@MetamateDaz Dumb take

Billionaires should not exist. Anything over $1 Billion should be taxed at 100% and go towards funding public services. There is no reason for a single person to have that much money or power.

@WallStreetApes That tracks, the standard of living has gone way up.

“Everybody's saying there's no affordable houses in Denver. This house is $265,000. One bed, one bath in Denver, Colorado” At first I thought this was a joke but it’s not, it’s real We have a major housing affordability crisis in America Just since 2019 home prices have increased 40-50%+ in Denver Colorado Rent prices have also increased substantially, they are in 20-40% Again, this is just since 2019 Americans are being priced out of their own country. In fact, nationwide home prices have risen 44% since 2019

@MatrixMysteries Seems shitty for the banks.

Average home price in California is $855k $855,300 Mortgage Comparison at 6% 30-Year Mortgage Monthly Payment: $5,128 Total Loan Cost: $1,846,064 50-Year Mortgage Monthly Payment: $4,502 Total Loan Cost: $2,701,404 $1,846,104 just in interest. Interest is the problem.

@DerekAyala1987 That’s a great investment for the city.

Arlington taxpayers will have to pay for this even though Jerry Jones is worth over 18 billion dollars.

@CrusaderBear333 @MaryLTrump Truth

@Tex2Big @MaryLTrump True enough I don’t trust Trump or Kash as far as I can throw them, but atleast they presented their evidence to a grand jury and got the indictment, which carries more weight than anything they could ever say

Donald's DOJ is now going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization dedicated to taking down white supremacist groups like the KKK. That's how bad it is.

@SenTedCruz Treat them like Russia. Will end all of this.

The American economy loses between $400 to $600 billion every year due to China’s intellectual property theft. It has been described as the largest transfer of wealth in human history, and it should be stopped.
