The link is to the author’s website at the Texas Public Policy Foundation and not the piece itself. I get his small essays on Texas by email maybe once a month.

Interesting piece - thanks for the post. Best bit, IMO:

“America requires Midland-Odessa and what it does. America doesn’t require Austin, Texas. Austin, Texas, is nice to have. For the life of the nation, Midland-Odessa is a must. The Permian is the hinge. We cannot do without it.”
