The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Stop buying Russian oil for even a day.

But that would require Europeans or White Liberals to live how they wish to dictate to others how to live.


Not true. The US is a net exporter, and has been for a decade or so. I used to hang out on "Peak Oil" at TMF. Albaby kept telling everyone that we weren't at peak oil, and it turns out he was correct. We weren't, and probably still aren't. Russian oil won't move the needle one iota (in part, because we already don't get Russian oil...they mostly sell to India and China).

And, to Europe's credit, they have been making major strides in a very short time to eliminate the need for Russian NG. They aren't there yet, but it's mostly going in the right direction. For more detail (good and bad) than you probably want:
