Revenge is not justice, regardless of what Hammurabi says.

I feel like we're stuck in a loop, many of these same people having the same discussion.

The old method didn't do that, first drug knocked you out, second drug paralyzed you, and third drug stopped your heart... That was the humane/painless method upheld and approved by the supreme Court. Torturing people, even people you intend to kill, is a no-no.

Meh, maybe... If you're already spending $20 on some little doodad or gadget, (maybe a nerf gun, or a quadcopter) are you really going to change your mind over $4? Or are you just going to say, oh well, this is what my kid wants... Here's $24

I didn't forget, the tariff isn't coming out of the pockets of Mexico, or Mexican suppliers, the money is coming out of American consumer's pockets (if it works at all)... In no way can you say "Mexico" is paying for the wall.

But it's not affecting my margins, it's affecting the final price paid by my customer. Ultimately, I'm not paying it, they are. Whatever they do with it once it's in their possession is up to them. If it's a new car, that tarrif goes right on the invoice as part of the delivery charge.

When you quote someone a price, you account for your costs. This includes any tariff or tax you pay. So if Pennsylvania institutes an ohio tariff and I'm quoting a price to Penn, I'm adding up my costs, labor, materials, profit margin, tariffs, shipping, and taxes, then quoting that price to my customer in PA, they're paying it... They might get a lower price from someone within the state, but I'm not eating that cost as a supplier.

Oh he's already said he's "borrowing" the money from us...

The government is collecting it, the consumer is paying it...It's the same thing as a border tax. Mexico isn't paying for the wall, anyone buying imported goods is.

Tariffs don't work that way... The consumer ends up paying the tariff.

Yep

You can always chalk it up to blind squirrels or broken clocks...

What a colossal waste of money.

Red sun rising... Not bad

Oh, It's still on...

Can't be serious all the time

If you like SOA, you'll love "days of our lives".

So you intentionally misled these people about the significantly increased difficulty with attempting to clean up bitumen vs other crude oils? That's pretty shitty.

Actually your comment "all oil is hard to clean up" is completely off the mark in its dismissal of this particular shit... Again, go do just a little tiny smidge of research on this shit. Or don't and keep telling yourself all crude is the same... I'm guessing you're more prone to remain willfully ignorant on the differences.

So no? Just laugh it off and pretend you're not completely wrong about different types of crude... Cool man thanks for playing.

Am I not saying it right? Keystone XL Big pipe, carrying lots of shit that is VERY difficult to clean up compared to it's conventional counterparts... Maybe read just a little about the bitumen? (Tar sands crude) Maybe? Or just stick your head in it and insist it's perfectly safe.

Motorized units carrying millions of gallons of bitumen, yes!

It wasn't about the pipeline failure itself, it was about the problems associated with the cleanup of what this pipeline was carrying... You seem very preoccupied with pipes in general.

I didn't say you said that, I said, factually they break, and I don't need a working knowledge of how they are installed to understand that fact... Also when they break, the stuff that was inside flows outside. This particular pipe is particularly large, and this particular pipe is carrying particularly nasty shit that is particularly difficult to clean up in waterways.... That's why I oppose it. I haven't seen a clear rebuttal of any of these facts.

Do I need a working knowledge of how they are installed to understand the fact that they break? And when they break, the stuff that was inside, goes... Outside? Oops almost forgot "...Gaylord"
