Quoting: Justsayno I believe 25% of the fuel for Michigan comes from that facility, this could really make things interesting [link to www.forbes.com (secure)] Well this is just fucking peachy now isn't it. We stopped at a roadside farmer's market today, started chatting with the owner and asked em how he was gonna handle the looming tomato shortage and surging prices, he just laughed and said, "There's no shortage here". Guessing after this shit he's about to realize even more just how fucked we are. |

It goes way past them thinking we're CT's, it almost seems like they're purposefully choosing cognitive dissonance over, at the very least, being mindful of their surroundings. |

I get em, but maybe he just doesn't get the 'it'. It's a long held-over term. I argued 50 years ago that Utah was the mid West, Chicago would be the mid East! Haw effin haw.

It was still 4.50 a gallon because it takes premium. Next week it will probably be 5.50. In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |

Quoting: Copperhead This is what happens when you have to run at nearly full capacity to supply the fuel needs of the nation, any incident like this can put a strain on the whole system. The price of a new refinery is 300% above cost due to federal regulations and oversight. Not a big fan of big oil, but at the same time, their income stream depends on these refineries. Most oil refineries are self insured, so they are fucked if they screw up. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 70663772 United States08/28/2022 01:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | who keeps starting all these fires..like this "electrical fire" that took this refinery off line? Quoting: Butterfly girl I’m guessing it is the same people trying to kill us lol BP has a long, sordid history of unsafe operating practices in order to minimize costs and maximize profits at the expense of their employees' lives. Sometimes companies are so downright shady that they themselves come up with the conspiracy theories put into the collective mindset by their media conglomerate partners in order for blame to be shifted onto scapegoats that bear no responsibility for the fuck ups of the company. |
