Depends on how you look at it. Forcing people to drive an hour or more away isn't very efficient either. There's no reason why the permit test cannot be issued at a county level. Or for ID purposes, take all the information and phot at the county level and send it off for the actual ID to be processed. I can understand the physical ID needing to be done elsewhere because it became more sofisticated, but the rest of the process should be done at the county level.
You're asking to maintain a more complex process to make it convenient for you. You admit you did three things wrong - went to wrong place, didn't have required paper, & parent didn't go with her. That's not a system problem.

There are way to hell too many counties in Ky. 50 is about the right number.

Our govt sent multiple people to both Saudi and Venezuela to discuss oil.

The redhead is on TV talking about this. She has not one time mentioned US oil. Out of sight, out of mind. Do people believe we must rely on shitholes across the globe to ship us oil?

“The President’s message is he’s going to do everything he can to reduce the gasoline impact on the American people”
In 2019 the average yearly oil production was 12.3 million and the consumption was just over 18million. Last month production was 11.6 million and climbing. Consumption right now is slightly below 2019 levels. That small difference in production does not equal the huge price increase. It is 100% pure speculative manipulation on the markets causing the price swing. It would take 10-20 years of non stop new well development to try and self sustain our oil consumption and we would run out before we got there. It's also very expensive compared to the middles east and south America because we are mostly now using fracking & shale, and expensive labor. The only we could be competitive would be to nationalize the oil.
And Plat will come in here and parrot it with graphs and charts and shit.
Brain dead trumpsters should learn how to read data.

So you’re admitting that Psakis explanation about keystone xl not affecting price now is BS.

It’s not just the pipeline, and it’s not just drilling. It’s also refineries that don’t see the benefit in spending huge amounts of money to reopen when an administration is openly stating they want zero carbon emissions.
The number you posted is when oil was $70 a barrel. I can guarantee that if oil was $130 a barrel they would’ve squeezed every drop of oil they could’ve possibly pumped. They aren’t doing that now.

Other countries aren’t either, and if Biden’s puppet masters aren’t careful they’re going to push them straight to China with these ridiculous green new deal policies.
 
I'd love to see that statistic but know it really doesn't exist. LMAO.
This was the result of Trump trying to sell anwr leases. Shell did one test drill in the 90s and hid the results. Everything else is just guesses ranging from nothing to 10 billion barrels. Saudi Arabia is estimated to have about 250 billion.

You mean no one was willing to throw money away knowing the incoming admin would never let them drill on it? Shocking

The US doesn't have the oil reserves to sustain hyper production. If we had spent the last 50 years not importing oil we would be dried out. All the oil is in south America and the middle east. Everything left in north America is really ****ing expensive to get to and also destroys the land and poison the water table. The only viable solution for the US is a shitload of nuclear and electric cars. 70% of our oil use is transportation. Cut that in half and oil isn't an issue anymore.

We've been hearing that shit for 20 years, and oil production just keeps rising in the US. At $130 a barrel they would be squeezing it out of everything they could, because it would be turning a huge profit, they aren't. Neither is anywhere else in the world, because the puppet admin just yesterday stated they were going carbon free even faster than they expected.
That is a huge problem for the oil producing countries, so why should they help the admin out pushing that fantasy? The answer is they aren't going to, and those ridiculous policies are directly affecting the citizens of this country negatively.
In the past when elections could actually keep politicians in check, they would never go down this route of destruction, not anymore.

Sort of like the SS going broke argument. I’ve heard that as long as I can remember but it’s still, here.
 
My only issue getting a REAL ID was that I got it when I moved to Indiana. I was 36 and hadn't even looked at a drivers test since I was 16 in Owensboro. So when I went in I had to take the written test all over again. Failed it because I couldn't remember how many feet I was supposed to allow for everything. 😂

Went and read the little book and took it again and passed. They took my picture and then printed out a picture of my license and handed it to me. Went to the store to buy some beer thinking there was no way they'd let me buy it with a printed out piece of paper. Unfolded it and the guy looked at it and said I was good. Got the actual license 2 weeks later.

WHAT

I gotta retake the test to get a REAL ID?

damn mfers

I can't really trust an oil expert that is so knowledgeable he thought J. EDGAR HOOVER WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Hey J. EDGAR, do you know anything about EV batteries and how they are sourced and manufactured? How about trying to recycle one?

Shut. Up. J. EDGAR.

Opec doesn't do large changes to production no matter what the prices are. Their goal is to sustain reserves for 200 years to maintain a stable money flow. Oil companies can't flick a magic switch and just make oil appear. It takes large chuncks of capital and willing labor and time. By the time they get new wells flowing oil futures could be back down to negative like last time. That is why they don't freak out and over react to price swings. If they magically ramp up production 25% and then oil crashes under $50 they are ****ed. That is why right now us oil companies are using the price surge to pay off debt, buyback shares, raise dividends, and very steadily raise production. They see little upside in a volitale price swing. Their legal responsibility is to share holders not consumers.

For anyone new to the thread; PLAT/SAMMY/J. EDGAR argued for a bit that J. Edgar HOOVER was a bad president.

Literally.

Anyone that listens to this fool is themselves a fool.

OK, you're conflating two different things, Drilling new wells, and maxing out pumping from wells already tapped.

It went negative because the world shutdown their economies, and it was a huge mistake because it only had ill effects, they won't do that again.

The policies of this admin is whats caused the inital rise in oil, and it's also played a part in the fast upswing by their complete inaction in preventing Russia from invading Ukraine.

There are way to hell too ,any counties in Ky. 50 is about the right number.
I didn't go to the wrong place. My wife did at first because nobody in the county alerted anyone to the move. and it had just happened like days before they went in. So that was an honest mistake not a stupid one. Regarding the paperwork, it was a document my step-daughter didn't know she needed at the time as teenagers are often unfamiliar with the new rules. The fact they needed a physical document and wouldn't accept an emailed version or faxed version directly from the school is ridiculous. It was a verification of her grades. If that communication goes directly from the school to the licensing agency then it should be considered good. And why the hell wouldn't her grandmother be considered a responsible guardian in order to sign for her?
 
I didn't. Not sure why moving to another state would change that unless you're old as Phuch and they want to make sure you aren't going to be an old ass sucky dangerous driver.

It’s a handful of states that require it.

NC did it (as mentioned above) and they also had comparatively low insurance rates. They also had an aggressive points system that really hit started to hit you with your first offense.

Get one speeding ticket and your mail box gets flooded with letters from lawyers offering to get off the hook.

A lot “equipment malfunctions” in NC.

Plat's an idiot. It's a LAW of economics that any new entry into a market REDUCES prices. In other words, introducing additional DOMESTIC suppliers of oil will FORCE prices downward. That's a GOOD thing for the little guy.
