What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
I just heard the ClownHouse Press clown's talking points spouted in Response to Doosey's question: "Why does't (chitstain) ask for more domestic oil production?"(paraphrase) among her points was that refineries reduced capacity during the early stages of the lock downs and they were unable to scale up quickly..... The reason that refineries cost so much is that you have a design capacity... that design capacity does not go away like a furloughed worker, the pipes and cracking towers, and tanks are still all there. so her talking points are absolute bullchit.......there were other bits of B.S. but I don't recall them now...
To clarify, what you're saying (if I'm reading it correctly) about scaling back up is something that does exist. However, yeah, no.
B.S.
They think we're stupid.
Thanks for the report.
she effectively implied that the capital equipment was no longer there. most refinery employees these days arevequipment maintenance workers and valve turners. so yrs she is full of chit. Refineries (domestically) typically cycle down for a few weeks of maintenance every October and come right back up to full operation in a matter of days.
