This is interesting... https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20221116005087/en/Old-Glory-Holding-Company-to-Acquire-First-State-Bank-of-Elmore-City-Oklahoma Old Glory Bank states it will be the first chartered bank to openly support America, its flag, freedom, patriotism, the military and...

Of course not, but the difference between Christian and Communist nations is so extreme I can afford to spot him an extra century or two and still come out ahead. Honestly the idea that he'd be in just as much danger living in, say, highly Catholic Italy compared with North Korea or China is...

We've had dozens of Christian nations existing for hundreds of years. By the numbers, do their atrocities compare with the handful of countries for a few decades we've had practicing communism?

By itself, it's not significant. Coupled with many protests over how they're being treated from farmers across the continent, and food processing plants burning down all over the place. I'm not 100% convinced that this isn't a case where food processing plants have always caught fire and now...

No, wood heating is huge in Europe. They specifically banned imports of wood from Russia and Belarus which might have been conflated with banning wood altogether.

So, how many people were worried about the supply chain starting to work again? Well now, you can rest easy.

Whew, I was worried we were in a recession but fortunately, they changed the definition of Recession right before the report so it won't happen.

Making people come in to vote is racist. You can't expect black people to know how to drive or ride on a bus.

No, it'll cost too much to drive to voting locations anymore so the US will switch to mail-in ballots only to help the poor.

JP Morgan is warning that oil prices may triple before midterms. People on both sides of the political aisle suspect this might raise gas prices. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/gas-prices-may-surge-again-ahead-of-midterm-elections/ar-AAZDpvj?fromMaestro=true

I'm not the one spinning quotes, you're making an absurd extrapolation by taking that sentence out of context, presuming an exact wording pedantic interpretation that contradicts their multi-paragraph conclusion where they boil it down, and claiming that the extreme outlier of that extreme...

Did you... actually read that article you just cited there? The Answer? So how long do today’s diesel fuels last in a storage tank? IF it’s a common on-road diesel (which will have 3-5% biodiesel content in it) and if it’s reasonably well taken care of (water removed monthly, fuel is monitored...

Try reading the actual thread, I literally opened up with those facts.

You maintain your refineries. You can't stockpile diesel anymore than you can stockpile electricity, your only option is to make sure the refineries and powerplants respectively are kept safe and go into overdrive on them in a pinch, while maintaining enough excess refining capacity to boost it...

Your doubts are incorrect, which is why you can't point to any strategic reserve of refined diesel. If there is, just link to it. Diesel can't be stored that way, as I've pointed out.

That doesn't really work either. The amount of fuel consumed in peacetime is nothing to wartime so enough refined diesel to be usable to them in war wouldn't be consumed in a timely fashion in peace. That's why the Strategic Reserves are, in fact, petroleum and not any refined fuels...

That's not actually possible. Refined diesel fuel doesn't store, it'll only last 6-12 months under ideal conditions. It's possible, with heavy additives and great care, to extend that to a couple of years but nothing like what would be needed to maintain an actual reserve, which by nature...

Hmm, they raked in 190 billion... but that's spread across over 55,000 ships that hauled something like eleven billion tons across the oceans. It doesn't sound so profitable when you realize they're only making about twenty bucks per ton.

Unfortunately, that's also the business model of a huge percentage of wealthy people in the US: Grab a successful business, run it into the ground for maximum short-term profit, and bail right before it goes off a cliff. And unfortunately, "successful" businessmen are joined at the hip with...

Biden's revealed that the economy is actually in great shape, there's more savings, less debt, and Americans feel more financially secure than ever before.
