Micro vs. Macro debate. Let’s not pretend that oil/gas prices weren’t already rising before the Russian attack. We’re now going to $3.89 a gallon vs. $3.49 without the attack. The fact that we’re asking the Middle East for more oil to fix this is catastrophic failure of policy in my book.

Keystone XL pipeline was first proposed, and many wonder if it will even be necessary by 2023, the date that owner TransCanada predicts it will open for use. The answer was yes.

So we agree that if the Keystone had an operational date of 7/1/2022, the 830,000 barrels of oil would be exactly what we need right now, in theory?

Nobody who currently walks this planet won’t avoid oil use in their lifetime. Do we need to look into green tech yes, absolutely. But it’s at least a decade or two away from adoption. Why choke off oil in the meantime?

I think I’m confused on why you state canceling a pipeline doesn’t effect the price of oil? Let’s say I’m granted permission to build “The Deuce” pipeline a new project in the Dakota’s or Alaska. Yes, it would take 2-5 years to become fully functional, however, I’m willing to bet it would start to scare oil speculation bulls, in turn, could lower oil immediately based on future potentials.

Any news of the US attempting to produce more oil impacts gas prices. Pipelines, oil rigs, domestic drilling it all pays a part of supply and demand. I trade stocks, not necessarily commodities like oil, but I have friends who look at the daily/weekly US oil rig count and bet 100k on oil prices to reflect it. You have to understand how oil is traded to understand that I’m saying. It’s more speculative than Bitcoin.

Trust me I’m 100% against us buying Russian oil, financing the attacks on Ukraine. I prefer Texas and Oklahoma oil to Russian.

Again, you don’t understand oil is traded on speculation. Speculation means, what someone predicts will happen. For example, when Covid hit, oil tanked, why? Because speculators saw less people driving. Fast forward to today, we’re moving back to a normal economy but we haven’t made oil investments to support it.

If you don’t understand supply and demand I suppose. We need more supply, more pipelines, more projects, more oil. Electric is 20 years away, choking it off this early was foolish.

You don’t know what you speak of. When the US announced the release of 30 million barrels the other day, oil actually went up 8 dollars. That’s speculators laughing at the announcement considering its 2 days worth of consumption. Now if we announced a project that would produce 300 million barrels, you would see a 10% oil sell off immediately.

Oil is traded on speculation. Those who understand that, understand the value of projects and lack there of.

Crude oil now up to $114, they are trying hard for $120. It’s gonna be a brutal spring ladies and gents.

Russia overlooked Ukraine and has been exposed a little bit. Yeah it will be a war of attrition and Russia has a bigger war machine, but never doubt Will. The Will to fight is everything in war. Russia’s Air Force has been subpar. They are deploying more warships and planes to make for their deficiencies. Russia will likely eventually win, but won’t come away feeling like winners. I know a few F22 pilots who are taking note of the Russian Air Force right now. Ukraine flys the Mig-29 which is basically an F16. If the F16 is giving you fits, the F22 would be what nightmares are made of.

There’s nothing we can do at this point. There isn’t an easy or quick fix. Big oil is reaching out offering to do more if they are allowed. Russia (obviously) and Saudi Arabia will not intervene to lower prices or increase production. This is literally going to be a bubble to watch burst. It will burst once demand destruction begins in April/May-ish I’m guessing. Sit back and absorb the pain, $4 is coming to a pump near you.

Elite academic research university, sir.

A lot of people rushed in to say “you don’t grab another man’s arm” without any facts. Howard was cussing and saying “I’ll remember that” and the Wisky coach wanted to explain why he calmed timeout. The coach should have let him walk by pouting but I think he wanted to squash any beef on the spot.

Whitlock is too objective for a lot of people. Heck, Randy Moss said he was gonna deal with Whitlock when he saw him last year. He later deleted that tweet.

I hate to see it come to that. He clearly has anger management issues. He threatened to “kill” Mark Turgeon after the Maryland game last year. Even with Michigan’s pompous attitude, I don’t think they will fire him. Although, a lot more people are turning critical of him today as more facts and history comes out. I’d vote for a season ending suspension with proof of anger management classes in the off season then put this behind him for 2022-2023.

Michigan, loves to portray this “world class standards & prestige to the rest of the B1G.” I’m curious to see how they react to this. The Buckeye side of me at least.

Agreed, there was no justification to support what Juwan did. I’m shocked he hasn’t apologized yet to be honest.

You’re going out of your way to say he didn’t initiate it. Agreed, but he’s responsible for how he reacts. Should he be fired or serve a lengthy suspension?

I’m asking you to clarify how it was permissible to punch a random staff member, while he was being held back by the Michigan staff.

I just rewatched the video. Juwan didn’t even punch the guy who stopped him for a handshake did he? He was essentially punching a random staff member?

What if they don’t have parents and the coach is the closest thing to a father?

He punched him 3 minutes later during the scrum right? After the Wisky coach stopped him to talk. Or was there a 2nd confrontation during the scrum, that lead to the punch?
