oh, and you forgot Drill, Baby Drill. He are the unintended consequences of that.

As a self-described conservative, are there ANY of his policies you like?
He's simply trying to explain to you, that the more oil you produce, transport, refine, transport, sell and consume, the less blue-collar employees you need.
I understood his point, but thanks. My question was unrelated to the specific point, and was more general in nature. As this thread evidences, we hear how much he disagrees with Trump quite often (some might even say, all the time). Thus, since he alleges he is conservative, I was curious if he ever has any positive thoughts on Trump's policies.

Moreover, as to his point, I think the good of the public as a whole outweighs the needs of a much smaller percentage of workers who will be affected by such policies.

Interestingly enough, I think the same could be asked of you, since you claim to be conservative.
Was the "/s" really necessary?
Yes you should have added it. lol.

But yes, JR's argument is that America will produce more, export more, transport more, consume more, drill more, explore more, manufacture more, and on and on, yet we will need fewer blue-collar workers. That's JR for you.

If the price were to drop due to external price pressures, sure we'd have fewer blue collar workers, But if we are doing MORE baby MORE, we will be increasing the blue-collar workforce.
I'm in that direct business, clown. I know how it works. I can explain further if you need,, since you don't seem to grasp simple economics.
I'm in that business too and you should damn well know that operators/companies have largely left behind their drill baby drill days and have adopted strict capital discipline. Investors want dividends and share buybacks, not all their capital spent immediately.

On top of that, the production growth that slowed down last year is going to continue for at least another two years. China is struggling, their demand is super low.


Doc for the win.
and can you tell us what exactly you do in the business, because you don't seem to understand it.

JR for yet another loss. He's taken it up the rear so many times, I'm beginning to think he enjoys it
It is about time you get a job , old man.

Which answers the bigger question I always mention instead of the political platitudes. It's up to the producers not the government, regardless of who's in office. What would be great is if the regulations would be cut/streamlined and incentives would be put in place to encourage refining investment, either in upgrades/repairs or new facilities. Those are the longer term investments that can really impact our energy independence, but are low margin capital depleting expenditures producers avoid.

The blue collar worker dream that keeps getting touted won't find reality until we take seriously what's required for heavy industry production, from raw material extraction and to real mass production. Extraction still requires higher labor ratios (although continuing to be reduced thanks to technology), while production continues to get automated and requires less and less human participation.

The future has always been about higher labor skills, but the educational death spiral we've been in continues to hinder the future. Meanwhile we think low/moderate skill blue collar work is some type of savior of the economy. It just isn't because it has an easily replaceable value. BTW, I view trades as higher skill labor just so we're talking apples to apples. But trades go back to a failure of our educational priorities.
The truth is that demand will eventually skyrocket due to developing countries modernizing and production won't be able to keep up. Third world countries will have grids requiring natural gas.

The IEA projections for demand escalate radically over the next two decades and we won't be able to keep up, even with renewables. The price of oil and gas is going to be astronomical by the mid 2030s.

We absolutely need refineries and more production.
Interesting take. I see moderate to flat growth over the next decade, with temporary spikes in demand (driven more by shortages than actual growth), but long term it will be flat to declining (not drastically). The reason being that transportation is the primary consumer of oil across the globe, and developing economies never reach the demand levels of 1st and 2nd world countries because of the already prohibitive fuel costs in their nations. They solve it through hyper high mileage solutions like scooters/motorcycles and mass transit (buses mainly). Furthermore, their economies don't have the financial strength to subsidize the cost in order to assist demand. You also have the macro impact of better understanding of fuel efficiency in all economies, especially logistics, then you've got the global population decline factor.

If the price goes up astronomically, I believe it will be due to forced production restraints creating unnatural shortages vs increased real demand. The natural gas market is fuzzier to me long term.

Doc owned you…..deal with it.

Told you over a year ago. Check your old posts.

Suspect your bitterness over Trump's triumph is effecting your memory.

They just had the guy that wrote this book "School of Woke" on Fox. Lets just say that he is pretty damn happy about Trumps first couple of days! The prejudice against whites AND ASIANS is off the charts like never before

Watched the whole thing.

1. Ray Epps caused the whole thing and once he got them past the point of no return, he is escorted away by several men.

This guy is the plant. He is the boots on the ground. He is insanely guilty and got hardly any sentencing.

The crowd early on chants Fed Fed Fed at him - that group knew he was a plant and shout him down.

2. Multiple capitol police are heard saying 'they set us up to fail'. Undoubtedly 'they' being in coordination with Epps.

3. The capitol police, 1 guy specifically, incite the crowd a ton. A ton. This part was crazy.

4. The dude with the viking hat had a capitol police guy give him a guided tour of the capitol.

5. Video shows all 4 deaths. Ashley Babbit's is shown with no filter. Wow. Dude just decided to murder someone. 2 guys have heart attacks outside. 1 heavy girl kinda gets trampled / suffocated in a shoving match with police in the tunnel Biden would a few days later emerge out of to be inaugurated.

6. Trump, 4 or 5 times, told everyone to be peaceful and be nice to the cops. He posted a video on Twitter but it got tagged and taken down. He said be peaceful and go home.

The strongest thing you will get out of this is Ray Epps.

Its crazy.

Such a demand will initially be ignored by the Fed.

But in time fear of Trumps retribution might get a 1 point drop a little sooner.

That is truly unfortunate.

Meanwhile one of my oldest friends just called me.
Apparently she was hit by a car while crossing the street ; with the light in a safety crosswalk.

She has a broken shoulder blade, broken wrist , fractured jaw ribs and eye socket. Has no idea who hit her and is waiting for the police report.

Said her time in emergency was a nightmare because it was FULL OF ILLEGALS.

So she had to wait while in shock and intense pain .

Then found out said illegals only paid a maximum of 20 dollars while her co pay was in the hundreds. Resident city taxpayers pay the difference for the medical care of all these illegals.

She is now a full on Trump supporter.

Trump really trashed the World Economic forum today. He simply told world leaders, get on the bus and get rich or get off the road entirely, cause you're about to get run over.

He was particularly interested in why the EU was so upside down in trade with the US to benefit the EU. Changes are coming. Hopefully this is the end of the European Union, which could mean the end of George Soros and his Open Society (aka One World Order)

The beginning of Populism around the world hopefully. Let the people go free!

Trump continues to make all the right moves.

It's incredible.

Have not felt this relieved and happy since Ronad Reagan fired the striking air traffic controllers .
