@warrenmyers@wholemars had some cross training middies from Annapolis on the Eagle 35 years ago. Complete assholes with inflated opinions of their superiority. They got a hard lesson in seasickness when we cleared the breakwater.
@mattvanswol Tribal honor culture in action. Being a better player is an affront that requires blood. Making a mistake and taking a penalty is an affront that requires blood. Trash talk is an affront that requires blood.
Both wrong. Ukraine has blown several Russian oil refineries to hell. Russia is no longer exporting refined petroleum products. That is ten percent of the world production off the market. Countries like Turkey and Brazil have to get their products from the same places we do and there just isn't the capacity. The result of more buyers and static supply is always higher prices. That price can come as money or as rationing but something has to regulate the demand.
A simple question that blows your greed theory away. If oil companies greed causes prices to go up does their altruism cause them to go down?
