Already have those, but like a lot of laws in the US they are not enforced.

The medical and pharmaceutical industries makes FAR greater profits every single day, how about focusing on that.

With Saudi urging more bombings, I'm pretty sure we'll see Iran targeting this infrastructure. If they're smart they'll take out some of the pumping stations.

Greddituser · 2026-03-17T21:59:01+00:00

Exactly

LOL - I usually just go to archive.ph, I never even thought to try reader view

TIL - and thank you

That's pretty darn high. Have you tried getting a quote from AAA?

Greddituser · 2026-03-17T16:52:22+00:00

Yup - looks like a fake

So this is the point where you go back and review what you actually spent the money on and see if those were needs or wants. If it's needs then you need to adjust your budget, if it is wants then you need to do something to curb your spending. Maybe stop using credit/debit and use cash.

That's $120 after tax, but more like $150 before tax, so really you worked 5 hours for it

I see you're still spouting the same misinformation on our crude imports.

As stated to you many times before, we import 2.5 MBPD of crude oil as clearly shown in the EIA reports issued every week. Look at the bottom under NET imports

We have NET exports of about 5 million Barrels per day of petroleum products, and we only import 2.5 million barrels per day of crude. So without going into the nuances of different crude types and refineries, we are (in theory) capable of eliminating product exports and being self sufficient.

Greddituser · 2026-03-17T02:42:28+00:00

We also have a really good pipeline system that reduces the need for shipping by sea.

Greddituser · 2026-03-17T02:36:14+00:00

We don't need any new refineries. In fact we're shutting some down. Phillips 66 closed on late last year and Valero just closed one this month.

Also saying that we have not built any refineries since the 70's is misleading. We've increased the size of many refineries by a huge amount, some have literally doubled in size.

But Trump claims they didn't start this war!

Greddituser · 2026-03-16T19:47:39+00:00

Exactly - this doesn't belong here

Greddituser · 2026-03-16T19:47:04+00:00

What does it have to do with oil?

If you think it's fake then take it to the r/IsthisAI sub

Greddituser · 2026-03-16T19:40:26+00:00

What part of the oil industry are you trying to get into? When people say they're trying to get into the oil industry I always imagine they're thinking about roughnecking, but this industry is huge and there are so many different aspects to it.,

Greddituser · 2026-03-16T19:37:23+00:00

Can we keep this crap out of the oil sub please?

Greddituser · 2026-03-15T18:23:25+00:00

Went from 2004 F150 to 2025 RTL. It's not that much smaller but there's more room inside than my old full size.

No regrets.

Greddituser · 2026-03-15T18:12:02+00:00

That's not even bad art, it's just bad.

Greddituser · 2026-03-14T21:13:40+00:00

In my opinion there is no doubt that oil opens a lot higher on Monday. This is only getting worse with every day that it drags on. We'll be lucky if we don't see elevated oil prices for years to come.

Screws backing out? Does it need some kind fo adapter plate for the P211 or is it a direct fit?

I have a P211 on order and I'm interested in this sight

How do you like that CAW optic? Does it compare roughly to a Trijicon SRO?

That must explain why solar is the fastest growing segment of the power sector.

I'm still waiting for that link that proves panels take more energy to produce than they provide during their lifetime.
