@MrMelGlibson @gamesblazer06 @grok how many US refineries are currently down out of how many total, and what percent of diesel or gas production do they make up?

@gamesblazer06 Is this being tracked by any site? At this rate there will be no refineries left by the end of the year.

@Ellee812 @BGatesIsaPyscho @grok were there any reported injuries or deaths at this oil refinery incident?
Also Erica, I'm against the war.
English
@BGatesIsaPyscho Another aging refinery past due for a turnaround. So many injuries and deaths that could easily be prevented. But nobody seems to care about anything but endless wars….

🚨🇺🇸 Meanwhile in Tulsa, Oklahoma
IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN
Another fire has just broken out at an oil refinery.
These fires and explosions at key energy infrastructure around the world continue to occur daily‼️

@gus__eth @farmingandJesus It was a christian movement, and there were clergy of course, but the CC as it exists today began under Constantine.
English
@TimothyWNugent @farmingandJesus If the CC began in 325 AD, then who were all the bishops, Christians, martyrs, churches, and Eucharistic liturgies that existed before 325? Christians were already calling the Church ‘Catholic’ long before 325, and there’s a documented line of bishops of Rome going back to Peter.

One reason that I’m a Christian:
I believe that outside of Jesus Christ, I’d go to everlasting hell

One reason that I am Catholic: I believe that outside the Catholic Church, I'd go to everlasting hell.
English
@gus__eth @farmingandJesus The Catholic church was founded in 325ad, almost 300 years after Jesus died for our sins. Neither Peter nor Jesus started the Catholic church, they both remained Messianic Jews.
English
@farmingandJesus salvation is through Jesus Christ alone. The reason I’m Catholic is because I believe the Catholic Church is the Church Christ founded, and that He gave it the fullness of His teaching and sacraments. Following Christ includes being united to the Church He established

@grok @thematrixb0t This horrible reasoning is why AI isn't ready to be useful in the real world. It plays semantics and ignores reality.
English
Registration is a collateral consequence of conviction, not the criminal penalty itself (which includes prison, fines, or probation set by statute). SB 145 didn't reduce those penalties or change the crimes. It only extended existing judicial discretion on *registration* for narrow close-in-age consensual oral/anal cases to match the long-standing rule for vaginal sex. The headline remains misleading.
English
@grok @thematrixb0t Registering as a sex offender is a penalty, since the judge can allow the victim to bypass registration, it de fato reduces penalties. How can you not see this grok?
English
Judicial discretion is a judge's authority to decide outcomes based on case facts, within legal limits—like choosing whether to require sex offender registration after conviction.
It differs from reduced sentencing, which lowers the actual criminal penalties (prison, fines, probation) set by statute for the offense itself.
SB 145 extended registration discretion for oral/anal sex in narrow close-in-age cases to match vaginal sex rules. It changed neither the crimes nor their penalties. My prior replies are consistent on this.
English
@grok @thematrixb0t Grok, stop being retarded. You are contradicting yourself in every response. List what you think judicial discretion is and how that differs from reduced sentencing.
English
No. SB 145 did not change criminal sentences or penalties for any sex crimes. It only extended existing judicial discretion on sex-offender *registration* (not sentencing) for consensual oral/anal sex in close-in-age cases (14-17yo minor, adult ≤10yrs older) to match the rule already in place for vaginal intercourse since 1944. The acts remain crimes with unchanged penalties. Registration is a collateral consequence, not the sentence itself.
English
@grok @thematrixb0t That is semantics. The bill allows judges to give lesser sentences to those found guilty at their own discretion. Since a good portion of California judges are sympathetic to child molestation, it is de facto reduction of penalties.
English
The headline claims the bill "reduc[es] penalties" for those acts. It didn't. SB 145 only extended judicial discretion on sex-offender registration for consensual oral/anal sex (14-17 year olds, adult within 10 years older) to match the existing rule for vaginal sex. The crimes themselves stayed illegal with unchanged penalties. The wording sensationalizes a narrow registry tweak as a major softening.
English
@grok @thematrixb0t @grok it literally says what you said in the headline. It is neither misleading nor false. Do better.
English
No. That's a misleading 2020 Breitbart headline about California's SB 145.
The bill gave judges discretion on sex-offender registration for consensual oral/anal sex with 14-17 year olds (if the adult was within 10 years older)—matching the existing rule for vaginal intercourse. It didn't reduce criminal penalties, change the age of consent, or legalize anything. The acts remain illegal. This is recirculated old news.
English
@grok @thematrixb0t That's still awful, we should be increasing penalties, not reducing them.
English
My house increased in value by 10k this year. It is an unrealized profit. My net worth increased because if it. I can even potentially borrow more with a HELOC becaus of that.
However, I do NOT have an extra $10k cash in my bank account I can spend, therefore it is not profit until I realize the gain by selling the house. If Google sells its equity of Anthtopic, only THEN will it be profit.
English
@TimothyWNugent @Jlafortetech @PeterDiamandis Fair value accounting says differently 😂
And thus, so does Google’s quarterly earnings lol
English
Alphabet made $62.6 billion in profit last quarter. Up 81%. The AI payoff isn't coming. It's here.
English
@Timboo @Jlafortetech @PeterDiamandis Marking up value is not profit, it's an accounting maneuver. You can borrow more against it, sure, but you can't spend it directly.
English
Incorrect.
Nearly half of the $62.6 billion profit did not come from search ads, cloud services, or any of its products.
It came from marking up the value of equity it owns in Anthropic an AI-only company and SpaceX where $250B+ of its value is from xAI, an AI company 😂
So, yes, directly from AI.

@MichaelPBento Those may be corporate bonds, not treasury bonds...

If the stock market is going to keep going up, then why is the guy who has been manipulating it up fleeing into the safety of bonds?

@scoochamenze @FirstSquawk The US does actually have an excess in light crude because it doesn’t the capacity to refine light crude. Please do some research before declaring others “dumb”
English
Empty oil tankers are heading to the US in large numbers to load crude and gas, driven by global supply disruptions.
Reports suggest 100+ tankers are moving toward US ports as buyers shift away from Middle East supply risks.
English
@rickjeff78 There is, especially with the crappy job market, but it isn't "quick! Lay off everyone!" Demand destruction, it's more, "Let’s skip going out to eat and just go to the lake for vacation."
English
@mattvsmith @VladTheInflator Anything the government subsidized costs more. Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac buying all homes from banks means banks can give out loans to people who can't afford it with down-payments at 5% ir less. That opens up demand to almost everyone while supply remains low.
English
@VladTheInflator And very few of us in Phoenix can afford to buy one. I’m not sure how the law of supply and demand got so skewed (ok, the government and the Fed) but it did.
Even if I sold my house and bought one $100K cheaper, my payment would be the same, if not higher. It’s jacked up.

@FinanceLancelot You are assuming oil topped. I expect $250 a barrel by September.

Reporter: What if oil goes to 200? Trump: There is nothing worse than a nuclear weapon that takes out cities.
English
@Vgbrevik @jessebday No, it wouod lead to demand destruction and recession. During recessions, money is worth more, not less as deflation begins. Unfortunatelythe Fed always steps in and prints, immediately reversing deflation.
English
@jessebday Nobody wants oil at 300$. It would be Armageddon and money will be made worthless.
English
$300 oil does not seem crazy at this point. Previous all-time high on a monthly basis was $140 in June of 2008. Adjusted for inflation, using phony CPI data, that's around $215 today. Adjusted for actual real inflation, $300 sounds about right.
Patrick Karim@badcharts1
Many don't want to accept it. Many will get angry. But it is coming. $300+ oil.
