Check out how much it costs to get past the EPA and the rest fo the
government alphabet soup to build refining capacity, to drill, or other
facilities.

You can extend that statement to EVERYTHING nowadays.

You should see the cost of all the various EPA reports just for our
airport
to extend a friggin' runway by a 1000 feet. It's incredible.

You should see the OSHA crap we run through. Our friggin' insurance company
got our accident rate down to a fourth what it was when OSHA was running it
all (and it was still rising).


Best of all, we have paid this fee (really a "hidden" tax) over and over,
because OTHER government agencies have conspired to delay or change the
design of this runway a dozen times, over the last 10 of 15 years.

Don't get me started! :~)

Sometime I'll fly out there and let my boss tell you about the 14.5 acre
mini-mall he was trying to build that cost over $2MILLION just to get past
the EPA crap, and bribes...ahemmm, campaign contributions, before the first
shovel full of dirt was turned. That was in friggin' South Dakota.


And each time the plan is changed, guess what? You need ANOTHER
"environmental impact statement"...

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!


The company that contracts this service simply massages the old data,
reissues it in new book form, and cashes yet another check.

What a scam.

Bet they got some nice retired gub'mint types working for them.
