Men working on the pipeline= bad. Men pretending to be women in order to beat women=heroic. Gotta love liberal logic.
What’s wrong with making money? Guess we should just keep paying Russia and giving Iran suitcases of cash.
The problem is you and I are not making it. Oil execs are shipping our oil out to the global market and making gobs of money. Then we have to go to the same global market and buy. If we kept US production in the US we wouldn’t have to buy from Iran, Russia, etc. Why do you think that never gets offered as a solution?
Tell you what, drill everything you want. Every last thing you can financially justify. But ban the export of oil. Think any oil hounds are taking that deal? Not a chance.
That’s what I don’t get in all this. I truly don’t give a shit what vices people engage in as long as they’re not hurting others. However, how can any professional athlete not understand the ramifications of flying internationally w/contraband? Especially into a communist country.
So let's buy batteries from the Chinese. That will show them
You don’t believe we should sell oil to our allies around the world? Ban the sale of oil??? Lol. Yeah. That’s the answer.
You abandoning your orange jesus's philosophy?? Even after he told you "I'm the only one who knows how to fix it."
How about making steel here instead of allowing state-backed imports flood our markets because of dumping?
U.S. imposes duties on structural steel from China, Mexico
The U.S. Commerce Department said on Wednesday it imposed duties on Chinese and Mexican structural steel after making a preliminary determination that producers in both countries had dumped fabricated structural steel on the U.S. market at prices below fair market value.

International trade is nowhere near as simple as you and EG seem to believe...
What? Why, you'd have to pay American workers and the CEOs and shareholders wouldn't get paid as much!!!
Of course it is. See your orange jesus's tariffs as an example. And it's extremely difficult to get other countries to pay for walls.
But Trump...🥱
Your guy is asleep at the wheel now... keep it current and relevant...
Your guy is g o n e....watch it and weep.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how markets work.
This is the best thing in your comment. National security has long been sold out for profit.
Allies, sure. After we allocate all we need to ourselves, or us and our allies come up with a plan for total allocations amongst ourselves.
We should. Or from our allies. I really don't care if we have Canadian steel. The same goes for Japan, South Korea, Germany, etc.
Like my favorite local train car has been spray painted by one of the workers at Mill Steel, FVCK CHINESE STEEL. Fvck India too, 50/50 they are headed into authoritarianism.
It's not, true. None of this can happen overnight.
Free markets, yes. I'm pretty sure what Hokies is describing is government intervention into markets. The free market is great until it harms national security, then it's not so great anymore. Or when it really isn't free to begin with, as has been the case with oil and the OPEC cartel...much of our lives have been lived watching the whims of those bastards ebb and flow.

Big difference with you and him and some of the rest of us. He is projecting this upon the oil company execs and you seem to be agreeing. No mention of politicians selling us out for profit by either of you... Government good??? Business bad???
Now you misunderstand. Forget free markets or any other type of market. This is how oil markets in which we currently trade oil work.
Well that would be why I selected part for a response, to show what part I agreed with....
...Business IS government. We are in the Second Age of American Plutocracy. Of course the majority of federal politicians are sell outs.
I still remember Griner when she was a freshman at Baylor. She punched a Texas Tech player in the face and sent her to the floor. Never had any use for her since and I believe Russia is as good a place as any to keep her.
Maybe when I start sucker punching defenseless woman in the face and transporting illegal drugs into other countries, Russia will send me an invitation.

It's exactly the place for you. You've thrown an American under the bus and taking the word of an enemy to do so.
Bottom line - you have to be an absolute fvcking moron to travel to a foreign country with a controlled substance. When you reach that level of stupid, you deserve whatever you get. BTW, Enes (Kanter) Freedom's response to Lebron's dumbass commentary on the situation was outstanding.
^^means a lot coming from Chicom lover who supports illegal immigration and child rape^^
Ffs. Is he arguing she didn't do it? Her entire defense is (1) I packed too fast, and (2) I had a Rx. The fact that she did it isn't in question.
She committed a crime in that country plain and simple. Despite the war in Ukraine, Griner broke a law in that autocratic country and has to unfortunately face the consequences of her actions. It doesn’t matter if Tom Brady or Michael Jordan committed it, if you do the crime, then you have to do the time if you’re caught. I agree that we should not swap her for the Merchant of Death.

I figure, like many professional athletes, she thought of herself as so privileged that no one would ever tell her what she could do or not do.
The meme in the opening post of this thread makes sense of why Lebron stated that she probably doesn’t even want to return to the USA.
