The propaganda works. People think it's every government and every actual scientist who are lying.
I made that exact point about production in an earlier post.
I never said oil companies are trying to reduce production. Rather, I'm saying they simply took their time increasing production as...
This is funny because I actually really like fossil fuels. I own a classic car with a 351 Cleveland and a 750 double-pumper on top. It burns premium. Now, some might say it's hypocritical to talk...
To be clear, I know the planet depends heavily on petroleum; energy, plastics, synthetic rubber, lubricants and so on. That's why petroleum prices are a big part of inflation. And again we agree that...
Thank you for the offer, but I don't think the logistics will work out. :)
I'm not disagreeing with anything you posted above. But again, I stand by my statement: Big oil companies are villains...
I'm really not sure what you're getting at. I used to live in Oklahoma and I knew a lot of oil field workers. No, I don't think they are evil. And I don't think oil company executives are evil, but...
Crank up Helen Reddy in their direction. That's gotta be worse than any death whistle.
They are villains in some ways. During recent lockdowns, demand for petroleum plummeted and so did petroleum prices. Of course, oil companies halted production big time and laid off many thousands....
In 2023 Exxon-Mobil posted a profit of $36 billion. That's not revenue. That's profit. And yes, petroleum prices are a key driver of inflation.
There has been research about this, but nobody is planning to spy on home viewers with embedded cameras in televisions.
Walmart recently purchased Vizio. What's interesting is that Walmart really didn't buy Vizio to sell televisions directly to customers. Rather, they bought all the eyeballs who watch Vizio...
And dollars to doughnuts you put your $2.00 into the machine only to find out it's broken and you still don't get any air.
The quote you posted ended with "fossil fuel policies". That's the very definition of corporate greed. I get it. The whole planet has a petroleum based economy. Everyone depends on petroleum. But...
Wow, the situation seems pretty bleak and is most disconcerting. Strange how something seemingly so simple can confound modern medicine.
I have these conversations with my adult son and daughter all the time. They are very frustrated at how expensive everything is today; especially housing. They do have a point. Cars and houses are...
This is pretty scary:

Starting this summer,...
I've lived in Colorado for over 20 years and I don't know a single person who drinks Coors. We have many outstanding craft beers in Colorado. Why would anyone drink Coors?
Obviously, somebody...
Years ago I saw a cartoon where a guy with signs like that was on a street corner. An Admiral approached him and shouted, "That's classified information!".
Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest ALL of California or Florida. I should have specified *some areas of California and Florida*. I'm from Orange County, CA and I have many relatives living there....
It's not the same. I have checked. :)
There have always been a lot of media absurdities. Although, it does seem like editors have been eliminated in favor to Spell Check. And "dead corpse" passes Spell Check.
A friend of mine tells a...
I've been hearing predictions just like this for over fifty years. Somehow, we're all still here.
CGI has not replaced human actors.
Self-driving cars have not replaced human drivers.

Colorado is experiencing Huge increases in home and auto insurance. My Farmers policy went up over 100% last year. I switched to Nationwide which kept it at the same rate, but expect it will go up...
I'm an IT Professional. I don't work with AI specificially, but I am aware of its potential for the things you listed above. What I think is overblown are the predictions that AI is going to write...
If you don't like Woodworks, I expect you wouldn't like any wordworking show of any kind.
