The Austin Chalk was hot until the underlying Eagle Ford became the flavor of the month. Most of the oil in the Austin Chalk comes from the Eagle Ford, so advances in drilling and fracking drove people right to the source. There is still a significant amount of hydrocarbon in both. It’s not easy to get, but as technology advances and prices continue to climb, I expect both to be big targets again, especially by the mom and pops.

A law will not do it.
There are eight members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The chairman is black, the Navy chief is a woman and the other six are white men. The chairman and the Navy chief were fired last night.
Trump called out trying to bully a (female) republican governor (video in the link).
My memory is likely selective, but in a public setting like that, I don’t recall any males willing to stand up to him.

Bingo. Also, he is always way more pompous and dismissive when being challenged by anyone other than a fully-abled white man.

Everything makes sense when you view it with the knowledge that Trump - code name “Krasnov” - has been a Russian agent since 1987.
The ex-major recalled: “For the KGB, it was a charm offensive. They had collected a lot of information on his personality so they knew who he was personally. The feeling was that he was extremely vulnerable intellectually, and psychologically, and he was prone to flattery.
“This is what they exploited. They played the game as if they were immensely impressed by his personality and believed this is the guy who should be the president of the United States one day: it is people like him who could change the world. They fed him these so-called active measures soundbites and it happened. So it was a big achievement for the KGB active measures at the time.”
He went to Moscow in 1987 - the height of the Cold War - on a junket organized and funded by the state travel agency. Immediately upon his return, he spent $130,000 of his own 1987 dollars for full page newspaper ads to rail against NATO. Trump doesn’t spend his own money on anything.

Those who work in national security cannot, in many circumstances, reply without violating confidentiality protocols.
Others being told that they have to comply.
One thing for certain, that single email inbox that has been published in multiple press reports is going to be slammed with messages whether federal employees respond or not.
