    It's been "stifled" because they could be pumping out more?

    But bottom line is that production companies find a way to work with regulations. How hard they do so depends on the price of oil. They will always meet the current demand but source of that production will vary.

    I'm starting to wonder why it's so difficult for people like you to understand that other people are dipshits. Seriously, where's the disconnect? You're talking to a moron who doesn't have the capacity for critical reasoning. Stop doing it.

    He allowed the Bakken, Marcellus, and Utica Shale regions be developed in ND, PA, and OH. The glut of oil and gas depressed prices, essentially stopping new drilling activity in TX and OK.

    The glut of gas made it cheaper to burn than coal, crippling that industry as well.

    OPEC, for the first time since 2008, actually reached a 2016 agreement to pump less oil in the Middle East states to try to prop prices.

    It's all about over-regulation though.

    If we just drill more wells, the over-supply problem will go away.

    Fucking Obama.

    Actually he's sort of right when he mentions that Obama's regulations have driven down the cost of oil. Obama stopped the practice of leasing federal land for the sake of curtailing competition, this policy has allowed production to increase and of course an increase in competition leads to a drop in price. This is one of those situations where the GOP does not believe that the market should decide.

    The god damn gov't gave them 500mm in 2015 via Medicaid.

    So they received at least a billion dollars probably much more, and we are gonna fine em 100mm.

    It's off patent, as the article says. They were found guilty of buying competitors and then taking their products off line.

    Edit; also they're required to license the product out to create a second source. So the punishment goes beyond just $100 million

    When people wonder aloud what can be done about police misconduct and the general bullying tactics of many law enforcement personnel around the country, one suggestion is to start by getting rid of the higher-ups who exhibit the same bad behaviors. Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke, best known for his attacks on the Black Lives Matter movement and his general awfulness, has a new complaint filed against him—for being kind of a coward and a bully.

    That's the message that Dan Black, a 24-year-old Riverwest resident, found out over the weekend.

    Black filed a complaint with the county on Tuesday alleging that he was harassed by Clarke. Black claimed he was confronted, interviewed and then escorted out of Mitchell International Airport by a group of deputies after a brief exchange with Clarke on a flight from Dallas on Sunday.

    DK I have posted the actual complaint in the spoiler
    On Sunday, January 15, 2017, I flew from DFW to Milwaukee on American Airlines flight 1534 at 12:20 p.m. As I was boarding, I saw an older man in first class who looked like Sheriff Clarke, but I could not be sure as he was dressed in Dallas Cowboys gear and wasn't wearing his signature cowboy hat. As I passed him, I asked if he was Sheriff Clarke, and he responded in the affirmative. I shook my head as I was moving on to my seat near the back of the plane. From behind, he asked if I had a problem. I shook my head “no” again and continued to my seat. I was surprised that he was wearing Dallas Cowboys gear, as I hadn’t seen the media stories about his Dallas fandom (I have since seen them).
    I intentionally did not say anything more to him because I did not want to make a scene or get in trouble as a Milwaukee man did in September when confronting Clarke on an airplane. I just moved on and took my seat.
    When I exited the flight at Mitchell International, there were six uniformed deputies and two bomb/drug dogs standing there with Sheriff Clarke waiting for me to exit. As soon as Sheriff Clarke gestured towards me, he and some of the officers left us. I was very publicly escorted in front of everyone down the hall to a waiting area, and then questioned by two of the Sheriff's Department deputies. They told me Sheriff Clarke said I had made some remarks to him upon entering the plane. When I asked for clarification, the deputies said they couldn’t tell me, and when I asked if they even knew the context of my “remarks,” they responded “no.”
    After questioning me for about fifteen minutes, asking me who I was, why I was in Dallas, what my views of Sheriff Clarke were and essentially treating me as a threat, they escorted me all the way out of the airport in front of everyone there. I was walked through the terminal, down through baggage claim, and all the way to my friend’s car by the officers. I was not given the opportunity to use the bathroom, to stop for a coffee, or to browse the bookstore. It was clear to the deputies after their interrogation that I hadn’t done anything (let alone done anything wrong), so I was confused as to why I needed to leave the airport directly. It turns out that as my friend drove me out of the arrival area of the airport, I saw Sheriff Clarke surrounded by officers looking up the road where I had come from. He apparently needed to see that I was leaving the airport.
    It is deeply embarrassing and frightening to be surrounded by police officers, treated like a criminal under any circumstances, but especially so in a secure public area such as the airport. I literally hadn’t done anything wrong, but I was treated as a threat and I was detained. Afterwards, I was in shock and couldn’t speak for half an hour.
    My detention and this interrogation was entirely unwarranted. Although the event did frighten me, I will not be intimidated into letting this egregious act go unreported. The deputies who interviewed me agreed, the stop was “stupid” and “ridiculous.” There was absolutely no basis for this incident, and I believe I was the victim of the sheriff's abuse of power.

    Random thought: I'm fascinated by the lying technique Trump and his team employ. It's obviously ripped off straight from Putin's "we don't have troops in the Crimea." I get the media's frustration.

    Media: So you stole cookies from the cookie jar
    Trump Team: No I didn't
    M: I saw you do it
    TT: No you didn't
    M: We have video of you doing it
    TT: No you don't
    M: Here it is. There you are stealing cookies.
    TT: That's not me
    M: Yes it is!
    TT: No it isn't
    M: ....... ok, moving on

    What are they supposed to do at that point? I'm sure it's tiring af.
