GREAT article in The Atlantic about Boeing - Boeing and the Dark Age of American Manufacturing https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/04/boeing-corporate-america-manufacturing/678137/ It really lays the problems out in a great way. Things I’ve been saying for years from my inside knowledge o...

If the cost of labor goes up at McDonalds they will increase their prices and pass it along to consumers. And they will get it. If the cost of lumber goes up, then the supply houses will pass that along to consumers and they will get their increases as well. That’s what happens will the costs of pr...

In the commodities, yes supply and demand tend to influence price. In other industries, there are a number of factors that influence price and companies are free to set their own prices. Whether they get those prices is another thing. But if their costs go up, you can bet they will increase their p...

No that is not what I said. Oil is a commodity. They sell at the market rate. They can influence the price via supply but they don’t set the price. Never said that. Learn to fucking read. If the Saudi’s seek to lower their production and lower the price, the US companies can seek to fill that gap w...

So repost it and highlight the specific section. Oil companies don’t pay their shareholders with price or market share, they pay them cash based on profits. So if an oil company can increase profits by selling more at a lower price , that’s their motivation. Price isn’t the only thing that drives i...

Yes, Joe, you did. Learn to read yourself.

Oil companies don’t pay their shareholders with price or market share, they pay them cash based on profits. So if an oil company can increase profits by selling more at a lower price, that’s their motivation. Price isn’t the only thing that drives improvement to your bottomline. So a US oil company...

Anyone else notice how former National Enquirer Publisher David Pecker has been decimating Trump's case concerning Stormy Daniels and others, and Trump isn't spending all his time on Truth Social calling HIM a liar? Guess Pecker has something on Trump. I doubt that Trump's lawyers will say much to h...

We're less than 20 years from peak oil. Increasing production will not make that better. Producing more oil has severe limitations. Crude, itself, is mostly useless. Refinement has limitations, specifically capacity. And, again, oil companies aren't going to produce in such a way it drastically low...

Finite would be your ability to dictate the use of the English language. Finite can and often is a relative term. Not in this context. We're talking about things that, once they're gone, there's no replacing it. That would be oil. Not anything renewable. It's funny how "conservatives" wan...

Yeah tell that to the builders who couldn’t buy lumber during Covid or to the folks who are starving in Africa. Resources are finite. What may be plentiful here might very well be scarce somewhere else. For example: intelligence and personality are plentiful in many people but you certainly don’t h...

Yeah and technology will stand still and so will innovation. All resources are finite. Lithium for batteries is finite for example. Perhaps we should just go back to horses for transportation. At least that’s a renewable resource right? Gotta save them petroleum chemicals. Not all resources are fin...

Again you are making things up and putting words in people's mouths which they never said. In case you missed it I have said multiple times that Trump is the worst president in our lifetime and perhaps ever. You on the other hand can't name one thing that Biden had done wrong. It's all the republic...

Or you can work this deal from both ends against the middle. Produce more and use less. Increase supply and lower demand. Which is stupid in the long run. Oil is a finite resource. It's used for far more than fuel. We should start thinking of saving it for future generations. Oh, right, conservativ...

I buy the vehicle that meets my needs. I would prefer to buy something made in the US but it’s not a deal breaker. Currently I drive a GMC diesel truck. I’m quite sure it’s assembled in the USA. As for the components, it’s probably a mixed bag. I’ve owned both foreign and donestic vehicles. We buy ...

No I didn’t lie. I just don’t believe your self serving explanation about your departure from your “dream” job. You keep bringing it up so it must stick in your craw. As for your neighbors, I feel for them. But you can’t reproduce a post where I made the statements you claim and we all know you are...

I doubt if you even know what country your vehicle is made in.

Okay, this has some risqué language, no vulgarity, but it’s quite inventive. It’s Australia’s Bush Barbie!

Pay between most union and non-union auto manufacturers is roughly the same, within a few dollars. (can be location dependent). The difference is in benefits and pension. Those are good under UAW, certainly better than somewhere like Tesla. I'm not sure why it is that so many Americans are against ...

Building materials were absurdly expensive in 2020. I was trying to do renovations at the time. It was awful. Donald didn't cause it though. COVID did. COVID was responsible for worldwide inflation in 2021, Biden didn't cause it. You really ought to learn that there is a world outside of the US. In...

Then you should be able to reproduce a post where I made such a statement. Not my problem. We know you did. Even if I did, you wouldn't admit that's what you meant. Your old passive/aggressive stuff. Can't do a search on your name since you fucked up and couldn't remember your password. But you kno...

Uh huh. Riiiight. :roll: :roll: :roll: I must have struck a nerve. Hit a little too close to home. :lol: :lol: Nope. You have no clue at all, and you are, as always, way off the mark. It's hilarious how far off the mark. You live quite the fantasy life, don't you? You make up everything in your hea...

Trump threatened Zelensky with refusals for armament, refusal to help defend the country. Since he was so mad at Zelensky for not starting fake investigations of Biden, he may well have given Putin intelligence that Putin used to invade the Ukraine. But Glenn ignores all that, and doesn’t think Trum...

If you can’t fix stupid then there is no hope for you. If you are going to work out you won’t be the only dumbbell in the room. Nope, sorry, you’re the stupid one that can’t read and loves to be ignorant. Plus you’re the one that lowers yourself to insults about things like weight and makes up shit...
