The government doesn't own or control where the foreign oil is sold or used either.
And selling to foreign buyers can be solved by simply taking the US off the world oil market. It has been done before. President Carter took us off and Clinton put us back on. Well, they had help from congress.
I believe it has more to do with thr spot pricing than futures but here it goes.
So retirement plan A: buys one future contract due in six months. Meanwhile, war brakes out next door to oilistan and it isn't clear if it will be able to export any oil or refined products if it gets really bad. So refinery B: and gas station company C: decide they need to stock up in case there is a shortage. But this run causes the spot price to increase rapidly. Now retirement plan A: says i will sell this futures contract from a reliable source to the highest bidder. So refinery and gas co war it out and the futures cost go sky high too.
Eventually, things settle down but refinery and gas co have to recover their costs so the pump price rises and stays high until that happens. Rinse and repeat for every little thing that might even smell oil.
Sounds to me like we need to get our enviromental thumbs out of our asses and produce more locally. We won't need to spend big bucks on a military keeping foreign sources safe and open if we have enough locally.
You mean similar like the store charge accounts before everything became a chain? People would go in, pick what they wanted, a clerk would write it down, then the items would be pulled, charged to your account, and delivered to your door by some highschool kid looking for extra money- often by the end of the day.
The concept of one click is not new. Its just a return of yesteryear to todays stores.
People and power. It seems the feds love power over people and the post office employs a lot of them giving the feds defacto power.
But that's really a guess. More likely it would be to expand federal powers into another area by the expansion of legitimate powers. Although, they don't seem to care if they have legitimacy or not
Yawn.... please either engage the points or go cry somewhere else. Yes one of the particpants works in the field, the other wss a noted Atheist who runs around trying to debunk creationism.
But the larger point that you seemed to fully skirt was thst your inability to find something does not mean it never existed nor does it mean the opposite. It only means you cannot find something therefore is not a means of falsifying anything.
While it would prove troubling if a rabbit fosil was found in the precambrian, it would not falsify evolution. It would only mean it needed explained.
US postal service will be around even if it moves only 100 packages a year. It is one of the few things the federal government does that is actually a constitution purpose of the federal government. Good luck getting them to give that up.
However, the USPS could run fiber and put some last mile crap in and lease it to ISPs if email is the new post.
There was a discussion a while back that concluded that if we had no real knowledge of a dog or the many breads there are and only the fossil record to go by, we would have named a good portion of them as separate animals.
But there was this guy, I don't know his name because he now never existed but before he never existed, he lived in an area that was swept out to sea by a tidal wave. The tidal wave took his birth records, his marriage license, all the family photos, his home, and anything else that could have identified him or proved he existed out to sea. So just like the Rabbit Fossil that doesn't exist in the Precambrian, all we know is that there is no record of him. That guy is dead now, he died after he never existed but from a heart attack- not the tidal wave (tsunami) but he was working on a fishing boat at the time and fell overboard after clenching his chest yelling for help, he was having a heart attack. His body has not been found.
Some say that he never existed before we saw him and he was created at that point in time, but we know that cannot be true because we can falsify his existence due to the lack of evidence of it.
Tesla can do all that right now. All they need to do is place a generator on a trailer and tow it with them.
I know what you meant though. And with Tesla opening up the charging patents and trying to get a standard going, it won't be long before you won't need the trailer. Well, it will still be long but not in my life time probably went out the window.
Now, I'm not a Tesla fan by any means. At least not until I heard that they were working to solve some of my biggest complaints about EVs by actually sharing and creating a standard that can be easily implemented around the country. Right now, the only EV I actually would own is a Golf Cart but the gas and propane versions seem to be much better. That may change soon.
I would think the bible of the three largest religions would be the peer reviewed evidence but I'm not entirely sure why it is important. God is a supernatural being, that means he or she or it is beyond the laws of nature and if the stories are true, actually created the laws of nature that we are bound to.
In other words, we have limits that a God or gods do not have. The entire realm of science could have been created in an instance and we are taking forever to uncover and understand it. We do not know and because it would be beyond the constraints of nature, you cannot prove or show it didn't happen.
My suggestion, let theology be theology and let science be science. When they cross, understand that one if a tool for theology and the other is a tool for science. Its like a hammer and screw driver. Both are tools but get less than desired results when using one for the other. But when applied properly, you can build something useful or fix broken things or just have fun.
Now I know someone will say but those are slanted and biased sites. Yes they are and they are somewhat polar opposite in their slants so it should mean the story is true. However, for the crazy still needing more, it appears the local governments don't want left out of the fun filled craze. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...
This has several appeals processes to complete before they actually lose trade mark protection if they do not succeed on appeal. So the US Patent & Trademark Office can still be told to shut up.
Actually, if I read the summery correct and it is actually representative of the article and life in reality, by creationism they mean scientific support of creation either all animals created at once or by God creating them.
Or in other words, it doesn't ban the teaching, just the teaching that it is " as evidence based theory". You could likely teach it as a "this is what people used to believe until evidence showed this" and get buy with it.
If i remember right, this is what got Martha Stewart jail time back in the 90s- early 2000s. She deleted an email about an investment and the investment turned out to be legal.
Nah.. if network saturation causes a slowdown it wouldn't be intentional. If you are slowed down in order to make their or someone's VoIP offering more reliable than the no name you went with or because netflix wants to reach a customer faster, it would be intentional.
The up to system would continue just fine. They could continue to oversell their bandwidth, just not restric it based on a competing service or third party payment.
Years ago, someone in my building decided to steal cable. That was before cable boxes were common and they used in line filters to restrict channels anf physically connected/disconected the feeds as needed. Except he didn't just connect and open his feed, he did the entire building of 10 apartments. He did this specifically to avoid being singled out if someone noticed the illegal connection.
But if you ask me, i think tjis is more sinister. I think the lost email is a lot like the birth certificate and the birthers. Its meant to string the die hards along frothing with anger so it can be used as some political advantage.
Hopefully, the law they want to pass. It involves consumer protections and allows the freedom both sides want..
I always said a good net neutrality law would be a simple statement that no ISP or internet service network can degrade or otherwise intentionally restrict any customers traffic to speeds or capacity below the advertised levels unless in direct attemps to deal with a bonafide attack or equiptment failure.
I don't think it would explicitly need spelled out but the advertised "up to" speeds cannot be up to if they are intentionally limiting to below that speed. But maybe something could be added too.
As long as comcast builds out their network in addition to the bandwidth yhey sold you, no one suffers. The key is ensuring their faster lane does not degrade your lane.
Fast lanes aren't bad if it is done in a way that doesn't degrade the service soldd to others.
In other words, if the ISP wants to build out addition bandwidth and sell it to whomever is buying in order to deliver conten at speeds above what you purchased, where is the problem? You see, as long as it is in addition and the cannot otherwise degrade your service, all they are doing is upgrading for future expansion and selling it to companies while waiting for a demand to take hold. Rinse and repeat and you have a constantly improving ISP.
Retaliation is just that and it happened. You may or may not thibk it is justified but it doesn't realky matter.
As for his speech, it was a political donation but that doesn't even matter because the only time it ever crossed his profesional life was when it was brought up by other in attacking him
All that is besides the point anyways. Even if i am wrong on the entire account, others see it just the same as i do and altered their behavior out of fear of future retaliation.

Look up Margerete thatcher's rant on the poor being poorer as long as the rich are less rich.
She seems to think it is a conspiracy.

I guess common sense is common again or was for a short period of time.
Communism does work. All you need is enough guns and a lot of good boots to stomp on pepple with.
And the people will cherish and enjoy every minute of it whether they like it or not.

It's hard to detect sarcasm when speaking of this nature about Brittan. The government there already places surveillance cameras in private homes.

I'm posting from a phone so looking up the exact laws is troublesome. However, that should help a bit should you be interested in more.
