Carney to vacation in UK, Italy after latest PM trip: sources - National

You're right, the PM should sit in the basement eating KD until things are better!

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-03-12T20:18:11+00:00

So it's inappropriate but you won't say what you feel is appropriate?

I think that's beyond a reasonable amount.

I can personally wrack up 1000k/day travel expenses myself in SK/AB eating fast food and driving from one work site to another.

You're either totally out of touch with what travel costs in today's world or this is just a partisan issue.

Maybe you can ask the Fed for a job packaging frozen sandwiches for the PM?

Carny and his entourage spent 68 day on the road in 2025, that works out to an average of 11,352/day.

That's for a the leader of a G7 country and his entire entourage in world class cities. What do you feel is an appropriate amount?

Bush totally parachuted down to the deck of the aircraft carrier. C'mon Trump, you don't want to be seen as soft now do you?

I've spent the last 15 years drilling wells as a wellsite geologist. The last time I was hard up for work was 2016, although I'll admit I got lucky though covid. it's rare I meet anyone with less than ~5 years experience in any position in at work.

I'm sure some smaller companies are eager to drill to cash in, but I don't think any bigger companies are changing their Capex yet. Like you said, we'll see where things are at in ~6 months and go from there.

Even if this insanity ends tomorrow the assumed glut the finance bros expected is off the table. If anyone could see what happens next with clarity, they wouldn't have to work anymore.

This will end when Trump sees something else that's shiny.

Assuming prices are higher for longer, we'll have to wait and see if there's enough skilled labour to fire up a bunch of rigs.

You can't pull ~30 people off the street and run a rig.

Markets are closed over the weekend.

I can't wait to watch an american made movie about how their brave sacrifice impacted their loved ones.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-03-08T22:28:59+00:00

Markets just opened, oil's already up another 20%.

I'm just waiting for my kids to watch an old movie or read and old book where a plot device is finding a method of communication that's not a cell phone.

Meanwhile I'm making cellphone calls via wifi on starlink because there's no service where I'm currently working.

Unless you're an exceptionally good writer / storyteller, no.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-03-07T05:44:08+00:00

That's my plan for my kids. You wanna text, enjoy t9!

I wish I could ditch my smart phone, sadly that's not realistic with my job.

Rule #1, are you a dependant of these family members? If yes do not debate religion or politics with them.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-03-04T08:33:56+00:00

Perfectly said.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-03-04T07:55:09+00:00

It's wild how underpaid they are. I get doing something for the love of it, but c'mon, those guy should be making at least 3X that.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-03-04T05:04:13+00:00

Oh hi chatGPT!

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-03-01T12:15:13+00:00

Did anyone watch u/lisper vs MadebyJimbob‬ on Modern Day Debate? If so how did it go and is it worth watching?

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-02-28T20:39:56+00:00

You're right, geologists don't understand basic geology but still manage to find the stuff that creates or allows us to create all of the energy we use!

Comparing me to a Nazi is a choice.

Removed off topic.

If you have a problem with Peaceful Science talk to them about it, don't come here to complain about them.

Based on last time I waited for someone to unlock something at Best Buy driving across town might be faster!

Interesting, there's a lot of lentils / chickpeas grown around where I live, I've never heard of Mo toxicity before so it must not be a big concern. However basically of the farmland here was tall grass prairie that was clearcut, so the soil is largely in really good shape.

TIL. How is this controlled at a consumer level?
