    How the fuck could a college player l generate that much money for a company? Regardless of the specifies you can roughly estimate the kid in question would be getting 15-18% of what they expect to make with his likeness. What the fuck are they selling? 

    NIL stands for pay to play bruh it's not about name, image, likeness

    Oh, I want the prices to go higher.   The only way green energy gets pushed more is if the cheap alternatives become more expensive.   

    You realize it takes energy energy to make the photo cells and wind turbines right?

    No team is dumb enough to trade for Watson. The local PR backlash would be enormous in whatever market traded for him. The dude used his power and clout to pray on young women. Maybe he recovers 10 years ago but the organization protesting that trade would be fierce as it should be. No one wants a business in their community to bring in a serial predator into the market. 

    I donno man he's been pretty much ignored by the media and I think he's gonna get a free pass.

    Still a lot that needs to be resolved to enable the Texans to maximize value. The grand jury is meeting on Friday to deliberate criminal charges. It’s unknown if/when a resolution will come out of that. Watson is also scheduled for a deposition on Friday on the civil cases. However, Hardin is going to instruct him to take the 5th until the grand jury makes a decision on the criminal side of things.

    Cap hell really does not exist. You can move money around for a long time if you really want to win now. Dallas can sign whoever they want and make any moves they want. Stop believing they have cap problems. We don't. We can easily sign Cooper if he want. As well as DLaw. I would not want to re-sign DLaw, though. 

    Really I think Cooper gets hurt way too much to rely on. He's injured a bit, but he seems hurt temporarily on the sidelines every game I've ever watched him.

    Imagine petroleum (including crude oil) imports plus exports is 100 "units".  Why is it important from a national security perspective for us to be 51 export + 49 import, as opposed to 49/51?

    Maybe so we don't have to beg Iran, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia to help us keep inflation from spiking and fucking our economy up. When chaos happens for whatever reason, it's best to not be dependent on other countries, even if it's +/-1%.

    We only got 3% from Russia and somehow that's spiked gas prices here like 50%

    High oil prices are great for Texas, and you’re a “bean in my chili” scalawag if you think differently. High oil prices thank GAWD for the Texas economy.

    15 gallons a week at maybe $1.50 difference is $22.50. What were you doing the entire pandemic when the rest of the world was learning new tech skills for free? Playing with your gummy belly button? 23 dollars made you a beggar? Most of this country has eliminated their work commute, but you’re over here Cosplaying bang bus and driving 100 miles a day?

    It's just another hidden tax on the working class, inflation. It's not just going to be gasoline bub, everything gets to where it needs to be using the same gas. The cost of living just went up (again) while the working class wages aren't catching up fast enough.

    They kept saying inflation was under control last year, it was supposed to be 2-4% or something? It was like 7%. It's going to get worse this year.

    You or I being professionals may not get hurt that much, but the majority of the working class has a much tighter budget.

    If people can't afford gas maybe we should provide some type of low-cost transportation that is available to the public.

    You can ride the city bus I'll keep living 2 mins away from my office.

    Also what about people who have to drive around to job sites or wherever for work? You want them to spend most of their day waiting around at bus stops with homeless people?

    It's just not realistic in most of Texas. People live in the burbs.

  9. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/feb/28/maria-bartiromo/us-did-not-double-oil-imports-russia-last-year/

    The U.S. did not double oil imports from Russia in the last year

    IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT

    The most recent data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows that the U.S. increased its oil imports from Russia by about 28% in the first 11 months of 2021.

    The U.S. did double the amount of crude oil imported from Russia last year. But Russia accounts for only about 3% of overall U.S. crude oil imports in 2021.

    I'm fact checked out boomers

  10. Other countries make like $200/month on average

    Some people live on like $40/month in total shitholes

    Americans are marketed to infinity and consumerism is king, it's totally normal to live beyond your means and have a car you can't afford, house you can't afford, ect and live paycheck to paycheck. Doesn't mean Americans are poor. We are the fattest county on the planet lol nobody is starving. Drug addicted homeless people are given money and paraphernalia to shoot up and smoke crack all day if they want. 

    If the solution is the WEF great reset where they shut off the internet in a "cyber pandemic" the middle class in America is gonna get obliterated. Enjoy it while you can

    Do you fucking read what you post?

    They EPA denied these EXEMPTION petitions, because these already existing refineries didn't want to comply with the stupid RFS program that is mandated by LAW.

    George Bush decided the way to decrease foreign oil was to make everyone include fucking ethanol. 

    These already existing refineries don't want to include that bullshit.  None of that has anything to do with regulations preventing NEW refineries from being constructed

    Here is the one new large refinery since 1977 

    Approximately 25-50% of costs are regulatory

    Today there are about 150 refineries in the US compared to over 300 in '80

    There's also not been any nuclear plants built in the US since the 70s

    Why?

    Battery technology is improving by leaps and bounds and lithium isn't/won't be the only option.  To your first point, yes, but still better than using gas and oil to run them.  

    Whats the other option?

    And we are investing heavily into Batteries, Solar and Wind right now. This is a projection of future new energy source development:

    May be an image of text that says 'eia U.S. electricity generating capacity additions, 2011-2023 gigawatts 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 planned 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 solar wind batteries natural gas coal other'

    Funny how coal doesn't even make a blip during the Trump years. I thought he was the most coal friendly president in history??

    Batteries? wut?

    Interesting how the "other" could be the most efficient and cleanest way to create energy and it's not being done because it's overregulated. France pulled it off. France.

    Nah.  That would be socialism.  We need to let the free market offer the proper incentives since I have been told that is always the answer.

    Free market?

    The "incentivize" would be to just relax the costs of all the insane regulations that prevent us from building the refineries. So yeah, let the free market be free.

    There are definitely infrastructure and refining issues with being truly energy independent.  Here is what I don't understand.  We have the answer to all of this in our back yard.  It's not oil long term.  It's not electric vehicles, solar or wind in the short term.  There is a transitional energy that I thought was going to be a larger player when EOM bought XTO.  It's natural gas.  Sure, we don't have filling stations for vehicles, but most city buses run on natural gas or a derivative.  The cost to transition vehicles to run on natural gas is relatively low.  It is cheap, clean and affordable.  But like everything else in society and politics, each side decides to take a stance on either the far right or the far left (oil vs. electric), and fucking ignores the middle ground easier solution, thus fucking the middle and lower class.  Oil is dirty and spills are a true environmental disaster (I'm in the OG industry).  Electric vehicles require raping land to get to the required minerals to build batteries.  Natural gas is the solution.  

    Not to mention unless they are being charged by Nuclear/Solar/Wind then they aren't really all that GrEeN either. 

    Also if lithium is the only option I don't think there's enough or that it can be extracted fast enough to keep up with demand.

    Are you mentally slow?

    We produce light sweet crude. We don't have enough light sweet crude refineries to make the amount of gasoline we consume. We can extract as much light sweet crude as we want, but it doesn't mean we are energy independent if we can't fucking refine the energy out of the goddam oil. It just means we all swim around in useless vats of light sweet crude. 

    Sounds like we should incentivize more light sweet crude refineries then.

    I'm going to take a wild guess here and say you don't know shit about the oil industry, and you have no idea why our producers dropped production significantly at the end of 2019. But by all means, show us your O&G industry knowledge by explaining it and telling us exactly why we aren't back to net export status now. 

    Ill hang up and listen

    I'm not saying we should be a net exporter, I'm saying we should be trying for energy independence. Instead we are regulating ourselves to death and dependent on paying third world countries like Russia. 

    Why did our producers drop production? They saw the Covid coming and the price war between SA and Russia coming?

    I don't know that Western sanctions would be as effective against China, but I do know they can't secretly prepare to invade Taiwan. We are not so fucking distracted by Russia's bullshit that we wouldn't notice a military buildup large enough to invade Taiwan. It will be interesting to see how willing China is to support Russia economically moving forward as they suddenly hold huge leverage over putin. 

    Sanctions? lol half the US politicians are paid off by the Chinese they aren't going to do shit.
