Screwball

So someone can make money? Its always about money. There is a lot of irony in all this. Politically, especially given the imperialist nature of the USA going back the the PNAC clan, which spelled out world domination by military force if need be. What was it, Gulf war, ticker symbol HAL. Haliburton and the Cheney gang, originals of the PNAC world pillage operation. The goal was to control the resources. Black gold - Texas tea - Carlyle Group - Bush. Funny how this **** works. The stock market is at all time highs (or close). What's not to like? Probably a lot not to like if you live in the real world which is everyone reading this and a ****load more. It has always been about energy and other raw materials, but growth doesn't happen without energy. Who owns it, controls it, or steals it. This is what we do, but that doesn't mean we are too smart. Energy needs? For who? And how? The amount of energy we consume, where does it come from, and who uses it? When you think about it; the added demand from the newest thing, data centers, and as talked about up thread, the crypto mining that eats energy, our thirst is expanding at quite a rate. Check you next electric bill for proof. We are nowhere close to filling the void without petroleum derivatives anytime soon. Even if there was a plan for all the reserves in VZ to be extracted, transported, processed, and pumped into the gas tanks of our car, it would take years and billions of dollars. And when was the last time something didn't turn into a giant boondoggle? This is still why we need to steal the oil. Been the plan for a long time (see PNAC). This is also why they hate Trump, he's stupid enough to say it out loud. For every unit of growth you need a unit of energy. The problem lies in how much it costs to get it, no matter the flavor. EROEI. Energy Returned On Energy Invested. With the price of crude around 60 bucks no drill is about to hit anything. We produce more domestically and will for some time, but that game is also price sensitive, and they have sucked (fracked) the wells like a 30 year old cow. Once they start depleting, they go quick, that is happening. The Permian Is Drowning in Its Own Wastewater - OilPrice.com At the end of the day, and maybe the most important question; this would take years to develop if it even worked out. We are talking 300 billion barrels of crude (estimated reserves) here, so that's a lot of money to be a part of. But, who the **** in their right mind would commit billions in investments with unknown global stability over the course of the development? And I don't care what ****wads are in power. TL:DR - there is no doubt a trade here.

Here, beat the rush;

That was a wild game. One miss was for a point, and the other was for 3, but they both looked good off the foot.. Pit won't win a game in the playoffs and then hopefully Rodgers goes away. This also might have saved Tomlin's ass. Coming from a Steelers fan, and I'm guessing he's (Rodgers) not real popular in Lion country either.

I agree. I fought with OSHAA about how many tickets we could get for the parents and relatives who wanted to go watch a tournament game and not pay. They were like dealing with the mafia. And baseball was nothing like the revenue generators like BB and FB. I can only imagine...

Not so fast Kemosabie, as I typed that we have new action, more chart porn; The big green candle on the right is at exactly 7:00 pm. Don't know what that means, but interesting...

As of a few minutes ago after the futures opened, crude is what you might call, a little uneventful. It took a **** at open, but has since recovered the dip, and is trading like a penny stock. We'll see what it looks like in the morning when retail gets involved, not that I think they can move the market, but the pigmen can. Based on sentiment... No, stop! Chart porn of crude, one minute tick.

I have no clue because I don't follow it very close. I never liked college football, but I did basketball. I think they have already ruined BB. Then again, the money and shenanigans have always been there. Ohio OSHAA just voted in NIL money for high schools. Oh, goody! I guess its more out in the open now. Ohio, football, Moeller, if you were familiar with big time Ohio football back in the day. I was a coach in division 4 baseball and was not at all impressed with the OSHAA. It's all crooked, but what ain't?

I won't provide a link because it's to Facebook and Draft Kings and I don't want to link, or even pick on those places, but here's what they are saying; 31.5% of all college football players are in the transfer portal The portal has been open for less than 48 hours already

I'll be watching the futures on crude at 5 when they open. Disclosure; I have a long position in crude oil.

I'm not posting this as political fodder for those who make it all political. This is the investment angle of what went on the other day. Good thread about the oil and looks pretty accurate best I can tell as I follow the energy space when I'm not in bonds.

It's what we do. Bonus;

"This is the place" - I don't think so. I spent a month one week in Salt Lake City.

As I read it, the tax is on the supplier to the retailer. The retailer would then decide how much of their raised cost they would pass along to the customer. IOW, I don't "think" this is a direct tax on the retail customer.

Because he is giddy he makes so much money feeding the gullible a bunch of BS on a nightly bases. He probably jokes with the makeup artists how big of a stud he is. Balls ain't his thing. Rare commodity today.

Why would anyone give one good **** about who is on the news? Why would anyone watch that **** to begin with?
