@GfedGoCrazy @sstevenluevanoo Still in LA County

@RolloRouen 1 Kings 10:29 mentions the Hittites, who ruled Anatolia. That’s the connection, and there are several mentions of the Hittites.

@RichardHanania They’re all on H-4 visas, so if they get divorced they get sent back. It’s not like they’re free to leave their spouse… they are in effect slaves to the H1b holder

@crsanchezx But American goods move over a far superior freight rail network at a 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of European ones, with lower overall emissions even on a diesel freight train. DB is half as efficient per ton mile as UPRR. It’s tradeoffs in the economy to prioritize HSR.

@RiseOfAlberta The Berlin Wall was built to keep people from leaving, not coming to East Germany.

@sirpaulmailey @TankerTrackers @willchamberlain The US Navy just torpedoed a warship deep in the Indian Ocean… the place is probably crawling with attack subs ready to live out their dream of commerce raiding like it’s 1944

@greg_travis @matthewstoller They import it from Canada and Mexico. Alberta’s oil really can only flow south given Transmountians limits

@rickypramos @DropSiteNews @luxeprogressive At no point were they forced to… it’s that they would be putting to much at risk without it. If your ship loses a 40 million dollar cargo, you’re on the hook for both your ship and the cargo. An Aframax carrying a cargo of oil is ~60 mil, and that’s small for ships in the Gulf.

@NoLimitGains Because Singapore typically imports refined products from China, which isn’t exporting… and its other suppliers aren’t showing up.

@JavierBlas @breadandposes Then Let’s make coal burning steam ships great again! /s

@NoLimitGains No, Domestic Sweet Oil Delivered in Cushing OK is cheaper than Dubai because of lack of any war threat. Dubai Murban is the market from the Gulf to Asia not the North American Market. You don’t understand the futures market or the energy market.

@gotrice2024 What matters is net value of assets vs liabilities here… and it sounds like that is not overly high. If you have a 500k loan on 520k house you’re net 20k. FHA loans don’t have a minimum age requirement…

@BlueRepublik Yeah, the plagues of Justinian Hit and killed 60% of the population of Europe… then the Black Death double tapped era, killing about 50% of the population again… it’s better explained by plagues and disease than religion. Can’t progress when you have to be in the fields.

@rogeriomarcks @amazingmap Yes, in Hawaii. Also Puerto Rico, and South Florida

@dieworkwear @KatieMiller And a supporter of segregation & immigration restrictions.

@MattWalshBlog Also Cows aren’t native to North America… a key ingredient of the Cowboy

@DrKarlynB The Soviet Union depended on American Lend Lease, which amounted to almost 205 Billion USD (2025 $), to provide trucks, tanks, and most of its oil products.

@SwissLuka @MichaelAArouet Zurich and Swiss Re are basically banks, they’re insurers. Glencore was/is about sanctions avoidance, Holcim was a French company that became Swiss after payments to ISIS.

@BradSedig @RWB_American They can’t cut the lock anyway… they would have to have the police cut it for them

[ghostrider @typeswrong]

@Jax27022235 @RWB_American That’s criminal vandalism…
