Mr Global explains gas prices under the Biden and Trump administrations. If you think Trump is going to get you cheaper gas, you’re dumber than you look, because of Trump we lost oil companies driving. The price is higher. Pay attention to where you get your information it’s critical to making the RIGHT decision.

A well written (and profoundly depressing) overview of the unmitigated disasters caused by the Biden administration’s insane energy policies. We have all paid the price for this “Green New Steal” stupidity that has weakened America and empowered our foes.

How Joe Biden 'broke OPEC' and rewrote the rules for oil trading.

[kp777]

Big Oil corporations have been illegally conspiring to raise the price of oil, costing Americans thousands of dollars a year.

When Pioneer Natural Resources, the largest oil company in Texas, tried to merge with ExxonMobil, the Federal Trade Commission discovered evidence that Pioneer was illegally colluding with OPEC, the oil cartel that includes Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, to keep prices high.

US oil producers are explicitly prohibited by federal law from price fixing and from taking actions that restrict competition.

But Pioneer CEO and GOP mega-donor Scott Sheffield was caught red-handed coordinating production strategies in private messages to Oil Ministers in the Middle East, to keep prices artificially high.

In addition to the direct price increases at the gas pump, many of the higher prices we’ve faced, from groceries to food delivery, come back to the increased price of oil.

Higher prices are not, as we're sometimes told, simply the result of government spending, or the invisible hand of the market.

Real human hands are involved here -- including CEOs that send texts to oil ministers about how they should work together to keep prices high.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has already made an example of Sheffield and Pioneer. Sheffield was barred from working for Exxon, and Exxon was banned from appointing top Pioneer executives for five years. It also referred the case to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

The DoJ must pick this case up, and investigate and prosecute any American oil executives caught illegally colluding to keep gas prices high!

Billionaires and their stupid hobbies

[neuromantis]

if you think stealing books is immoral because it raises the cost of books, ask our main publishers why they had to jack up printing prices three times up ever since *someone* did *something* and cut us off from the world with sanctions that raises the prices of all "local" manufacture because *someone* did *something* a decade ago and every manufacturing process around here depends on foreign involvement.

it is fully my belief that knowledge is free. and also that a book shouldn't cost more than a bottle of hard liquor (we're going 10 bottles of vodka for a well-printed book right now occasionally) and as long as it stays that way, i am stealing. i do not give a fuck. this is bullshit, everything is ruined and poisoned and i am good at theft.

i know you're trying to survive, but you even steal from writers overseas and publish them without consent now. so i am stealing from you.

Things You Should Know About Hastelloy Flanges By Manilaxmi Industrial

Manilaxmi Industrial: When it comes to choosing materials for industrial applications, Hastelloy flanges stand out as a top option due to their remarkable properties and performance। Understanding Hastelloy flanges' characteristics and benefits can help you make informed choices about your projects, whether you're working in chemical processing, oil and gas production, or power generation। What you need to know about Hastelloy flanges is here।

What are Hastelloy Flanges?

Hastelloy flanges are components made from Hastelloy, a high-performance alloy primarily composed of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum. This superalloy is renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and durability in harsh environments. Flanges are used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment, ensuring a secure and leak-proof system.

Key Properties of Hastelloy Flanges?

1. Corrosion Resistance: Hastelloy flanges are highly resistant to various forms of corrosion, including pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. This makes them ideal for use in aggressive environments where other materials might fail.

2. Temperature Resistance: These flanges can withstand extreme temperatures, both high and low, without losing their structural integrity. This property is crucial for industries that operate under severe thermal conditions.

3. Mechanical Strength: Hastelloy flanges offer exceptional mechanical strength, ensuring durability and reliability even under high stress and pressure.

4. Versatility: Due to their unique properties, Hastelloy flanges are versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries

Types of Hastelloy Flanges?

Hastelloy flanges come in different types, each designed for specific applications and connection methods. Common types include:

• Weld Neck Flanges: These flanges are designed to be welded to the pipe, providing a strong and leak-proof connection ideal for high-pressure applications.

• Slip-On Flanges: Easier to install than weld neck flanges, these are slipped over the pipe and then welded. They are suitable for low-pressure environments.

• Blind Flanges: Used to close the end of a pipe or valve, blind flanges are essential for testing and maintenance purposes.

• Socket Weld Flanges: These flanges are similar to slip-on flanges but have a socket for welding, providing a smoother flow inside the pipe.

• Lap Joint Flanges: These are used with a stub end and are ideal for systems that require frequent disassembly.

Applications of Hastelloy Flanges?

Given their superior properties, Hastelloy flanges are used in a variety of demanding applications, such as:

• Chemical Processing: The exceptional corrosion resistance of Hastelloy makes it perfect for handling corrosive chemicals and acids.

• Oil and Gas: In the oil and gas industry, Hastelloy flanges are used in pipelines and equipment exposed to harsh environments and high pressures.

• Power Generation: These flanges are used in power plants, particularly in high-temperature and high-pressure sections.

• Marine Engineering: Hastelloy’s resistance to seawater corrosion makes it ideal for offshore and marine applications.

Advantages of Using Hastelloy Flanges?

1. Longevity: The durability and resistance to wear and tear extend the lifespan of the equipment, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

2. Safety: Enhanced mechanical strength and corrosion resistance ensure safer operations in critical applications.

3. Cost-Effective: Despite the higher initial cost, the longevity and reliability of Hastelloy flanges can lead to cost savings over time by minimizing downtime and maintenance.

thinking about how fucked up it was that in my senior year of high school we all had to sit through a lecture about how difficult economic times were ahead and so we had to make sure we chose a career path that would actually get us a job and not just leave us unemployed with tons of debt.

then they gave us a list of jobs that would be obsolete in a few years (pretty much anything arts/humanities lol) and said we should avoid them if possible and a list of jobs that would definitely be hiring (mostly stem or stuff in the fucking oil and gas industry) that we should consider instead.

anyway, that's the reason why i chose a college major i wasn't super interested in and even when i realized i hated it i didn't change it until the end of my second year (which btw, left me more in debt than if i had just studied what i wanted from the start lol).

These charts are based on data from the Energy Information Agency (EIA), the government agency that the oil and gas industry relies on to provide accurate measures of US and international energy production, imports, exports, and other data. The EIA provides US oil production data compiled monthly since 1920 or compiled weekly since 1983. Both data sets are included in the above charts.

So, in summary, US oil production grew sharply starting in 2011, peaked and began to fall in 2015, bottomed out and started to recover by Oct 2016, recovered by 2018, reached an all-time peak by Feb 2020, then crashed again until Jun 2020, and has recovered ever since back to nearly the all-time peak once again.

For those that love to assign the US President all credit for oil production, there are serious upturns under Obama (2011-2016), Trump (2017-2019), and Biden (2021-present) and serious downturns under Obama (2015-6) and Trump (2020). Make of that what you will.

thinking about the small serbian child i met a couple years ago who told me he could name the price of gas at every gas station in the area. i said ‘oh, really?’ and he IMMEDIATELY started listing numbers. like thirty seconds of gas prices later his extremely tall father came up to me and told me that the child made him drive around the entire city every day just so he could see that day’s gas prices
