BlackPawnMartyr

Just finished the book. Very quick read for me. Super entertaining, hard to tell if its better than The Martian or not. Probably yes, but The Martian was so orginal when i first read it. I really loved how the story switches around past to present and how some things in the past help him in the present. Was so cleverly written. The over analysis of engineering adds a lot to the book (and its uniqueness), but every now and then can get a bit overkill. However, the humor, story, and plot transitions do a lot to help with this for anyone whos not a mechanical engineer.

but it is crap oil. It is extra-heavy and has a high sulfur content

U.S. refineries (primarily on the Gulf Coast) were designed or upgraded over decades specifically to handle heavy, sour crudes like Venezuelan Maya/Boscan/Hamaca (coking units, resid desulfurization, hydrocrackers, large crude units). Those refineries have been the natural buyers and processors of Venezuelan heavy grades, and their operations today depend on market/sanctions-driven supply flows (which have been disrupted and partially restored at different times).

I mean Christians do believe people of the Jewish faith will all burn in hell so....kinda checks out.

I know Dunkins whole beans from the grocery has shot up quite a bit.

My belief is they want to take Venezuelan oil (likely under market costs) and process in the USA where we already have ability and use it regain surplus to send to Europe and India for our own geopolitical interests.

Every one is in an investigation but who if any will ever rot in prison like they deserve. Just political games for leverage.

Wagner? They helped Africa evacuate the French from their neo colonies and then are helping to defeat the Nato bankster army in Ukraine mad at Russia for ruining their resource theft of Africa.

Make it very expensive for the USA. We are bleeding out being the world's police and faith in the US dollar is plummeting world wide as China begins to back its dollar with gold.
