The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Right. Which is why there are no tariffs or taxes on Canadian crude oil exports to the U.S., so far. Canada is building a pipeline from Alberta to the Pacific, which means that before too long Canadian crude will be sent elsewhere, leaving American refineries and consumers 4 million barrels a day short. 25% of the U.S. oil supply - gone.

It's hard for dopes to keep up with reality.


Of course. You think Fox or Newsmax is going to go with that? They’d lose 98.6% of their viewers, who just want to be told to keep sucking their thumb and “don’t worry, Daddy’s here.”

Meanwhile those fools up there who don’t understand economics bought the stalled TransCanada pipeline to the west coast in 2018 to insure that development would continue, and they have been making plans to being another pipeline along mostly the same route in 2027. They no longer want to rely on a single customer, because as good as that partner has been in the past, he’s recently had a stroke and has become belligerent, idiotic, and altogether incoherent in every possible way.
