Yeah I don't really find tech companies bribing Trump to be evidence of a secret scheme because there's already the established history of him taking bribes for all kinds of shit. Like that Qatari plane. And if it was a secret data center why would they be paying for it rather than being paid to build it?

Also plopping it underneath the White House seems like the worst way to keep it a secret and the justification that putting it there is necessary to maintain executive control seems very naive. If it was built on a military base or some random federal land out west and run by the NSA it would be way more secretive and we're kidding ourselves if we think either org would put up any resistance to doing whatever the president wants. And by that logic it would be resigning to handing it over to the Democrats at some point in the future? If it's a complete secret in the middle of nowhere maybe the deep state hides it for you lol

Luckily the refinery was located outside of the environment. There's nothing out there except scrub land, Texans and Buc-ee's

Yeah the pictures from the train station that was hit this week by submunitions really didn't look too worse for wear. Unless that was a different type I don't see how that would work

has to either return 120% of that to the SPR later, or pay 120% of the market price at that point.

Do the sellers choose which of the 2 they pay? Or is it like a max of the 2? I guess I don't really understand how it works since I thought they were releasing it to depress prices, why would buyers pay the 18-22% premium? Would this show that buyers are expecting prices to exceed that premium soon or are unable to actually buy at the current "spot"

Edit: oh I misunderstood. So they have to give 120% of the oil back (or the equivalent price) in the future. So it's essentially a short. How long do they have to repay is it a set time or like indefinite until the SR stops releasing barrels/requests payment

Does whether or not you're an exporter have much of an impact unless you're willing to block exports? If you're plugged into the global economy everyone's paying whatever the market rate is right?

I'm in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden I look down, and see a tortoise. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without my help. But I'm not helping. Why is that doc?
