I'm sure one of you crawfish pond growers could tell me, does warm winter weather affect the crawfish harvest?


Easing tensions in Europe combined with arbitrage opportunities involving the South African Rand will align with a cloudy regulatory environment to force prices up. That and . . .

Ain’t no Mexicans to run the traps.

I believe there are some tax advantages of claiming as an LLC or a trust. So you may still need to pay a lawyer douche and an accountant to setup all that.


I am not your lawyer.

I thought this only mattered with shared ownership of a ticket, like an office putting together a pool.

This is not tax advice.
The federal goverment forces me to pay your lazy arse.

Their refining capacity also outpaces their consumption and will continue to do so with these shutdown.


Really? Then why are they importing gasoline?

The only issue I see is wouldn’t this cause higher prices elsewhere? California will have a shortage and have to buy gas from other states driving up demand and lowering supply nationwide


No.

California uses a special grade of gasoline.

It has driven out the refineries that make it in-state.

There is no pipeline infrastructure to bring it in from other states. So it has to come in by sealift tankers.

The Jones Act prohibits (practically speaking) shipping it directly to California from Gulf Coast refiners, which could handle the demand.

They are already importing gasoline from Asia.

When Valero closes in March, the deficit will equal or exceed the amount they can import.

Supply, meet demand.

But it won’t do much to prices elsewhere in the US.

You can’t hardly give oil away and California has prohibitively expensive gasoline. You can’t help people that won’t help themselves.


It’s a little more complicated than that.

But you are right that they did it to themselves.
quote:

There is a station on Wallasville, north of 610 selling it for $1.99.


That gas doesn’t have to travel very far from a refinery.

And its transportation is not subject to the Jones Act.

quote:

liberal society only contains formal freedom, "freedom of choice within the coordinates of the existing power relations", while prohibiting actual freedom, "the site of an intervention that undermines these very coordinates."[66] In an oft-quoted passage from a book published in the same year, he writes that, in these conditions of liberal censorship, "we 'feel free' because we lack the very language to articulate our unfreedom".


This baw seems like he is onto something.

At this point in the thread I think that you need to reconsider your philosophy about people.
