It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt
From: Griftopia by Matt Taibbi
“...... revolutionary new vision for America’s industrial economy—one in which companies compete not on price and quality but in political influence, and earn profits not by attracting customers with good service, but by using the power of the state to protect markets and force customers into the fold.”
Sad but true!
poole seems like he has gone over the edge. his company is more hated than chesapeake because of his poor decisions. they are steamrolling over us in pa. people here only want to be treated fair.
ReplyDeletePoole isn't smart enough to keep his mouth shut like most other attorneys on a losing side. Range Resources continues to run over people, and Paid Liars like Matt Pitzarella, who have zero experience in the gas fields, but much experience in twisting the truth, spouting off only facts that they like or completely misdirect the conversation. I used to think one had to be fairly smart to become a General Counsel, and David Poole has proven me wrong with his little boy temper tantrums and small minded veiled threats.
ReplyDeleteI just watched that video again of him speaking at the city council meeting, and I don't think it was an accident that he forgot to mention he's the general counsel for Range Resources. I don't think that was known to the mayor and council, otherwise he wouldn't gone down the path of "I live here, too, and I grew up right next to an oil well, and never had a single problem'.
Maybe what has happened, is that someone much smarter than him-the building custodian, perhaps-let him know that when general counsels get caught in lies, especially when they are part of a publicly owned company, things like that have a tendency to negatively impact the stock. There are scores of people out there that invest in these companies, and all it takes is a David Poole, a senior officer in the company to come out waving the Look at me, I'm a jackass' flag for the company to have a bad day-that turns into a bad quarter. Or, maybe he's been keeping up with his idiot step brother Aubrey, and watched how to piss away a BILLION dollars in less than hour. Then again, they don't have a judge in their pocket anymore, so he might be busy shredding documents.
Either way, what's done is done, and Poole cannot take it back, he can only hope that it goes away without anyone asking him some hard questions.
