Just to simplify, if we cut off the oil to everyone else, (A) who is going to buy American manufactured products if we shut down their economies? (B) It is typically less costly and faster to export oil (say, from Texas) to a foreign country than to move it via pipeline (say, from Texas) or ship to a refinery on the east coast. (C) If global prices are significantly higher than domestic prices, companies will export to maximize profit for their shareholders. (D) A great amount of the oil produced in the U.S. is "light and sweet," which is easier to sell to foreign refineries than it is to adapt U.S. facilities to use it.


(E) not to mention all of the products that can be made from heavy sour crude vs. shale oil, e.g. asphalt, bunker, coke etc. & base oils for lubricants

Study in math, physics, chemistry, etc., is critical for America's future competitiveness in this technological world. If students are not studying the core sciences, we need to work on promoting interest in the fields, not eliminating the programs.


A BA in any science is stupid. Why would you get a BA in Physics vs a BS??? Why would it even exist in the first place?

This story is sort of mind-boggling. A 29 year old PhD in a senior position at Homeland Security is basically a hooker.



I have some news for you pal. She ain’t the only one. As in they’re all hookers to one degree or another.
