Incredible as it may seem, US refiners in OK, KS and AR are losing about $10/barrel on every molecule of gasoline they make. Spot price is ~$106/barrel and processing and RVO costs add up to ~$16/barrel. Count your blessings in the Great Plains.

"Prediction is difficult- particularly when it involves the future.” - Mark Twain

I reckon the global markets are waking up this week and thinking, "Why didn't we see this coming?" Part of the reason is unwillingness to believe that something so big can truly happen. Another reason is the lack of understanding of the globalization of supply chains where a barrel of crude from the Middle East gets refined in Asia and feeds the petchem plants to make plastics into the West, and how jet fuel is made and supplied into your local airports. Finally, the stark realization that so many things that we have in this modern world is somehow derived from crude and we just didn't realize it. The markets will need to price refined products at a level to show that it is a finite resource. Let's hope governments are wise to recognise the need for demand restraint as well while seeking the right balance for their economies to weather this storm. #oott

@tko140pt6 The rebuild is over & your championship window is open before you have salary issues. Only detail would be the Jazz own future picks. How many do you keep?

Begs the question…say the Jazz are drafting 3rd…how many firsts (in addition to that #3 pick) should they give up to move up and assure thy can draft AJ? #takenote

@KalanisCalves I remember it well, too(started putting regular gas in my premium gas car 😅) I'd take the reasons behind the prices in 08' vs the reasons in 26' - with the benefit of hindsight of course

In 2008 I remember paying $4.20 for gas in Utah County. That’s all.

People in the US ask me all the time why I love and care about the NBL. This is exactly why. This league is totally insane and it rules.

ICYMI- why are gas prices going up if the US is the largest producer and doesn't rely on oil coming from the Strait? Answers:

@GuyDealership Committed to buy a car from Auto nation in Gilbert AZ - sales contract came and $800 Doc fee? No word about that at any point up until then. Add in other fees and it was over 1k. Walked away and bought from a reputable dealer

[NEWS] Doc fees are putting dealers on the FTC's radar: The FTC sent warning letters to 97 dealer groups on March 13. The issue is that advertised prices that don't match what customers actually pay. Two compliance attorneys, asked independently for their single most important fix, landed on the same answer: Get your doc fee into your advertised price, before someone complains and the FTC comes looking. Because customer complaints are almost always how dealers end up on the FTC's radar. Bottom line: Dealers’ advertised price should be their ceiling, not their floor.

Seeing legacy diesel and CARB diesel fetch wholesale (ex taxes and mark-ups) prices above $200/barrel in Los Angeles. So far today, prices are up by about 24cts/gal in this bulk market. Buy your spring fruits and nuts early, based on the impact of these prices on CA agriculture.

@KUTV2News Oil is priced by the world market - it's not the only commodity that works this way. Outside of the typical bad actors (off highway and rural stations etc ) no, this isn't gouging

As gas prices rise across Utah and the country, many drivers are asking the same question: Are they being price-gouged? 🔗Read the full story at bit.ly/4btN3cO

Singapore jet at $230 a barrel tells you where the stress is showing up first Jet has been ground zero, then naphtha and fuel oil, with diesel next & gasoline last The whole barrel is now under stress. It's a system-wide shock #JetFuel #Oil #Diesel #Naphtha #FuelOil #Refining #Hormuz #EnergyCrisis #OilMarkets #OOTT

The real hit isn't at the pump. It's in everything that moves by truck. EU diesel just hit €2/liter on average, up 20% since the conflict started. IRU says that €220 per driver per year is just the surface cost. Multiply that fuel surcharge across every shipment moving across Europe. Your groceries, your auto parts, your raw materials. Everything just got more expensive before it even reaches the shelf. 20% of global oil flows through Hormuz. When that gets squeezed, the whole supply chain pays the premium. Not just drivers. Everyone.

@5kl @camskattebo5 Plot twist!

@camskattebo5 Just say that was the CTE talkin’

I recently did an interview and had a lapse in judgment, which resulted in me making a tasteless joke about CTE and asthma. It was never my intention to downplay the seriousness of head injuries or asthma. I sincerely apologize to anyone that was offended by my remarks, and I assure you that I’ll be more mindful and respectful going forward. Much love !!!

@KalanisCalves I guess the people complaining about a 2-4% raise have never had to deal with a 0% raise. 😅 And/or they all work for large corporations. I'd love 2-4% consistently - working for a small business, there are no guarantees.

It’s important for employees to understand that the revenue generated by the work you do may not even increase year to year. If your employer still gives you a 2-4% increase in salary, they’re doing all they can. Signed, Most small business owners
