re: Oil Bros - why can't the US refine sweet crude & would diesel export ban even lower price?
Posted by Penrod on 10/2/26 at 10:20 am to MightyJoeYoung
First, Yes, the diesel export ban would lower the price of diesel in the US because we would have more supply and the same demand.
This is not true. We have a lot of refineries set up that way but not close to “all”.
This is irrelevant.
If you mean, would the elimination of the Jones Act help get refineries built, the answer is not materially. However, I believe the Jones Act should be eliminated or greatly modified.
I have mixed feelings about the defense budget. I want a much stronger military but believe it could be had for even less money than we currently spend.
I think your idea of the federal government subsidizing refining is a horrible one. The reason refineries are not being built very much is because of regulations that choke them out. The bill in the Senate right now is a good start to fixing that.

Also most fuel is consumed on the coastlines cities, but mostly produced and refined in the nation's interior.

And would Uncle Sam be able to, I don't know, not add $500B to the defense budget and instead take a fraction of that and subsidize energy inftsructure expansion in the US?

These things happen when emotions rule your existence.
It is also emotions ruling when a mother throws her body between her child and danger. I don’t think emotions are the problem; I think it’s the nihilism that has taken the place of the moral teachings of religion. Now our emotions are governed by materialism rather than the moral codes of happier times.

No Iran was tolerated because they were exactly what our govt wanted them to be. Terrorist.
Our government wanted terrorists? You are suffering from two delusions. The first is that you think the people running our government are more competent than they actually are. The people governing us consist of two groups each with a particular skill set. One group is elected politicians with a skill set around getting elected. The other group is bureaucrats with a skill set of kissing arse. Neither is very good at diabolical evil conspiracies.
The other delusion is that all of the things that result from the stupidity of our governors are actually the result of highly planned conspiracies. A man named Chesterton diagnosed this delusion and wrote a pithy razor: Never attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity.

Thanks for posting this. That is very interesting information, and far better than the PFF snap count.

Iran was tolerated because the British Empire kept Middle East tensions at a powder keg level going back decades
No. Iran was tolerated because it was easier to kick the can down the road as long as they were not close to getting nukes. And until recently we did not have the technology to win a war with Iran without using ground troops.
The British Empire has not existed in any meaningful way since 1942. They certainly were not calling shots in the Middle East in recent decades. That Promethean bullshite you’ve been imbibing is poppycock. If you don’t believe me, go to the UK, rent a car, and drive around their island for two days. Seriously, that’s all it takes. You will see the folly of this after that.

What about a formation near the goal line (or anywhere for that matter on short yardage) where you’ve got Clark and Leavitt lined up like you’re going to do the direct RB snap you’ve run frequently.
What do you gain by that? Pretend Leavitt is going to take the snap but instead snap it to Clark? They have the same skillset; that would not trick anyone. All it does is get a shittier player on the field to perform something he’s not well suited for.

I haven’t seen them. I meant historically I vote “No” on at least 80%. In the last election there were five. I voted “No” on all except the one that would allow St George to have its own school system.

So it’s wrong. If you knew the people of any country you would not be so cavalier about saying you’d sacrifice them for your own well being. That is certainly a one way ticket to hell according to Christian theology.

I would prefer Republicans not support a candidate who is a RINO. Instead, put up a true conservative and let them lose. Let Maine and states like it have the results of their choices.
You surely realize that Senators vote on national bills? It’s not just Maine and the other blue states that would suffer.
Almost no party ever controls the House or Senate without people like Susan Collins and Joe Manchin. And none have since the 80s.
