@RazorOil I have been thinking that if I wanted to control people via oil I would seize a massive supply and then let the price inflate to a considerable degree. Thus people have to work hard (for me) and buy my expensive oil, or not get the resource at all (and thus not threaten me)...?

@BenWoodfinden Progressive voters may wish to look inward: if you spent the last decade or so voting in obviously incompetent, corrupt, spendthrift and basically performative government, what did you expect? Some simple truths: - the government can't spend its way to prosperity; - borders

Every teacher I know personally is leaving the profession because students have become unteachable. They don’t read, they don’t talk to each other, they have no curiosity, no passion, no interest in learning. Giving kids unfettered access to screens has ruined a generation.
In 2008, 62% of teachers said they were very satisfied with their job. In 2022, that dropped to 12%. We've got a serious problem brewing in education...

Bob Odenkirk drops a heartbreakingly beautiful truth on Mike Birbiglia: “Who are you jealous of?” “Anybody who’s still got little kids at home growing up. No question.” He explains: When his kids were young, he knew exactly who he was every single day. “I didn’t have to ask

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!
We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country. The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here:

The blunt reality is that trying to suppress hedging in futures markets (potential genius idea from Treasury coming) doesn't suppress oil prices, it suppresses price discovery and risk transfer. If producers can't hedge forward production, they either demand a higher spot risk
