I got an email from UT asking for money to help offset Covid. I could not believe my eyes. UT needs money? Then I thought about the Dems New Green Deal and how Biden is going to stop Fracking and I realized that UT's golden goose may be cooked if there is no more evil fossil fuels to make money off of. So, UT Admin you better start preaching about the benefits of Oil and Gas if you still want a job.
Oh ya. I got an email similar to that. It was one of those "we are going to send this out to the masses" type emails. And here I am, reading this email in my office, with a giant fvcking map on the conference table that has all these west Texas oil leases dotted all over it. And right there in the middle of the sweet spot at wolfcamp is who? Texas. I almost puked from laughing when I saw that email. It was like replacing tiny Oliver Twist with Jabba the Hut and having him say "please sir, may I have some more?" whilst simultaneously pissing on my boot and declaring a category 5 hurricane.
I'm sick of the bullshit, I'm done with the excuses, I'm tired of the virtue signaling, and I won't accept any more of the lies.
This university is slipping toward an abyss. Out of one corner of their mouth they preach about social responsibility and fiscal responsibility and global warming and how persons of color don't get a fair shake in life-- and out of the other corner of their mouth they charge shit tons of money to go to school there, make billions off of oil, allow the Chinese to come in and go to school on grants, print diplomas for people that can't actually hack it academically to pump up their minority graduation numbers, and beg alumni to fund it all.
I'm done. I'm not sending the school another dollar.
