    I haven’t heard the song yet, but in fairness, most of the complaints coming out of the ice action in Minnesota were about ICE killing Americans, not deporting foreigners.

    I’ve not had that happen yet. When I use cash these days it’s for tips.

    @NobodySock said: @Renauda said: @AndyD Will your light crude oil run generators, or oil heating systems? Or does it have to be mixed with heavy crude first. No it has to be refined first - although the light crude produced in some Western Siberian fields could run a diesel engine once the parafins are removed. Light crudes produced in North America are used primarily for aviation fuel, motor oils and petrochemical production. For AC, What do we know as to the reason why certain types of oil are found in the ground in different geographies? Is it simply a matter of what kind of dinosaurs died in these locations? I’m sure there’s more to it but what do you know? I was a rig hand, Jim, not a petroleum geologist

    One can accept the reason advertised as to why they shut this down to only allow you to go back to generations of relationships to acquire this citizenship while his and mine are three. The advertised claim is that most of these people who acquired the citizenship, never intended to move and live in Italy anyways, and while this may be true, I sense that the timing of this edict was more intended to stop what they foresee as a huge influx of Americans desiring to get out of the USA while getting is good. And my theory goes against my grain in that I abhor statements made by US citizens of anything oppressive that occurs globally and channeling it into some conspiracy, only meant for Americans, take Covid, for example. If one recalls, the first country to take a major hit once Covid was released to the world was in fact Italy. reason number 3537 that Trump has no business handling the reigns of power in the United States as he played along with this conspiracy, so as to downplay his incompetence and handling it when it first hit our shores. He let Maga run the ball with that one and kept patting them on the head, encouraging them. And it was then that I started having a huge distaste for these people and realized how truly selfish they all are in that they defied at every turn any type of quarantine restrictions placed upon them as an assault on their free will

    I like to use cash for mechanics, tips, barbers, etc. it assures they get it all and leaves no trace. And if it doesn't get reported? Well, I have no control over that.
