#1 "Yes... about Norway is true. I have friends there, so real norwegians have annual bonuses and stuff from oil sales, etc. and decent sums. A few thousand a year is just a prize, not to mention a cool dhss at all. Russia is like a activity and a black hole, it's all going somewhere and missing...". How about here?.

I'm a a simple man. Rather than a tiring investigatory process, I'll simply employ the process of....'illumination.'

#3 I hope we raised prices. I remember that fiasco with I think it was gold mining on federal lands.

Our fee was ridiculously low.

#4 I pretty much lost my business due to the "perfect storm" combination of the shutdown in 2009/2010 and the price dip from the so-called Iran deal where Iran got a hundred billion dollars of their money back and oil prices were mysteriously low for two years (but we're not supposed to think about that. Or about that some of that money went to paying for the Russian offensive in Syria). The oilfield seems to be coming back in other places, but not in Louisiana. And even if prices are up, investment is probably going to be lacking, because noone wants to be the Saudis' or Iran's or Obama's next Example.

#5 Screw the lease fees. We should literal be getting a percentage of the royalties.
