Actually she didn't ..Depends on who's describing her.

FJB said he was looking for a DEI woman of color.He found her..at the bottom of the barrel. Now they are trying to re-invent her. It's not working , in this video age.
Too bad..You reap what you sow..

Food

Home Owner insurance
Car loans out of reach
Homeowner ship out of reach do I need to go on!
Massive layoffs
Oh and don't forget we have wars going on everywhere. You don't think Biden and others are getting some boot for sending billions in cash to ukraine??? Someone is getting their palm greased and the proof is there that the biden family is on the take!

literally everything has gone through the roof and it is the democratic party that owns it. Face the current situation, you guys keep living in the past.

At least someone has the guts to post an opinion. So let?s start with oil, why is diesel higher than gas? Can you name any products that aren?t effected by high fuel/transportation costs. Have you been following profits made by oil companies in the last 2 years. And on top of that they got a tax break from 38 to 21 percent. With all the tax breaks they probably don?t pay anything and they get subsidies.

My car and homeowners insurance hasn?t changed.

I bought four years ago at 2.43 percent interest, this home has doubled in price. Timing is everything.

Layoffs?? Where? We have a labor shortage in the area of tech and trades.

Talk to your congressman about getting their palms greased, it called insider trading. They all do it and it is not right and needs to be addressed as does the attics of the SCOTUS. You want to check who is making money in the war in Ukraine, the workers and manufacturers that are making the weapon systems. The same is going on in the NATO countries that are sending equipment to Ukraine.

I am here in a state and area that most people can?t afford and this is not bragging. My wife and I have busted our butts to be here and we have a good life.

biden said on day 1 he was going to eliminate the fossil fuel industry. So oil companies are making as much profit as possible while they can, IT'S THE LAW. Publicly traded companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their share holders, not community, not the government. Get rid of subsidies, I totally agree with that. If you want bureaucrats running the oil industry, move to venezuela, The democrats running the town adjacent to where I live just gave huge tax breaks to amazon, AMAZON!!! to build a warehouse. The only people that want it are the contractors & construction workers. The warehouse jobs pay very little. A customer of mine, a former/retired union laborer, went to work at a nearby amazon warehouse to bust their balls and get the sign on bonus. First month supervisor praised, second you need to double your output. He stayed just long enough to get the bonus, then quit. Why would amazon need tax breaks?. The only way to get any corporation to build anything in New York is give tax incentives, then raise taxes for everybody thats still here. I can afford it, but it's not about me, its about younger families. There is gun fire every night in Niagara Falls NY, not by legal gun owners, run by democrats the last 30 years. What was once a beautiful city, attracting millions of visitors every year, has turned into a ****show.

Upstream production rises 15% with boost from Permian Basin and Guyana sites. Exxon Mobil Corp.'s stock rose 1.3% in premarket trading on Friday after the oil giant said its second-quarter profit rose 17% and topped analyst estimates.

While Chevron did not cite specifics in its decision to move its base of operations, the company has long been the subject of multiple lawsuits over environmental and public health damage allegedly caused by its business and production practices, as well as criticism by environmental activists fighting against climate change. Go, let Texas taxpayers pay for cleanups! The 2019 oil spill dumped at least 800,000 gallons (3 million litres) of oil and water into a canyon in Kern County, the home of the state's oil industry. Also, Chevron agreed to pay a $7.5 million fine for more than 70 smaller spills between 2018 and 2023

Fist of all Eddie, you don't know Sheite about big oil, companies like Chevron, BP, Exxon, will do 100 % reporting on spills, when I worked for BP we reported spills that was a gallon of hydraulic oil out of a crane, that is considered a recordable spill. Now google that you stupid SOB

Eddie I have worked in all the plants along the gulf coast and like Randy said we take any spill very serious, we even take out the contaminated soil and keep digging until we find clean soil. We take samples every inches, put in a container and send off to a lab, we dig until we find clean soil. Then we bring in virgin top soil and put it back in. In the meantime we are also having full blown investigations as to how why it happened. Was it machine failure or human error.

We perform tap root root cause investigations...Oh wait you do not know what that is probably you are too worried about Trump becoming president again!

The contaminated material is hazmat manifested out to the appropriate waste facilities and yes it is reported and documented.

Oh and the stock market crashed on your presidents watch today

Oh yeah the Big oil has a perfect safety record because of people like you hint, that's a joke. I do know a little about Big Oil, I do profit from them, it is called investments. You mentioned earlier that Big Oil is raising prices to make up for possible future losses, in that admission you also are admitting that because literally every consumable in the country is moved by petroleum that is why prices for everything has gone up. Should one assume that Big Oil has caused inflation?



As you already know, I assist Veterans in filing claims for 26 presumptive diseases caused by exposure to burn pits. Now you know what they used to ignite these pits don't you, the same stuff you burn in your back yard. During the first Gulf War Iraq lite up the oil fields in Kuwait, the exposure to that smoke causes cancer. And last but not least the Camp Lejeune incident that not only effected Veterans, it also effect families to include unborn children to the tune of over 3 million exposure cases from 1953 to 1987. And what was released into the ground water.... trichloroethane and benzine. You do know that benzine is a by-product of ? Right? You know what renal toxicity is? Breathing that smoke causes kidney failure! Want to know more about it, give me a shout out, I have first hand experience.

Well Eddie due to your lack of knowledge there is a company by the name of Clean Harbors down here. They can incinerate anything, you know all the drugs your people are letting across the border and we cease if on our side, they ship all those millions of pounds of drugs that your people are letting people bring to the us they ship them all to this company and they have a state of the art incinerator that burns everything with zero emissions including contaminated soil, oh wait this might be too much for you to comprehend as you are to busy spewing hate.

Hi guys. Been staying out of the discussion. Been busy and hanging around the pool when I'm not. Eddie you mentioned trichloroethane. Reminded me of a disaster that happened to our town. From 1973-1980 I worked for Essex Wire, which was gobbled up by United Tecnologies. We made electro-mechanical switches. I was a kid out of high school and was getting my roots in the maintenance department. 1300 women and 200 guys worked there. Anyway, they used huge amounts of trichloroethane. The plating department had big shaker belts that carried oily parts from the press room (brackets and assorted stampings) down into the trichloroethane. They came out spotless. Best parts washer I've ever seen. Charlie Taylor, one of the maintenance guys had the responsibility to get rid of a small amount of the runoff from those belts. Every morning, he would take a forklift, go outside and pick up a 30-gallon drum. It would be about half/three quarters full. He would take it and dump it into the gravel parking lot. It would instantly disappear. About 1000 feet from where he was dumping was the Muskingum River. It's the river you cross over while traveling interstate 70 as you go through Zanesville. A couple years after I left United Tech the entire front page of the Zanesville Times recorder newspaper reads "TRICHLOROETHANE FOUND IN ZANESVILLE WATER SUPPLY !!" To this day, although that business is long gone and nothing is on that property but grass, there are huge aerators that must be maintained on that property. I see maintenance crews maintaining them all the time. That land is a superfund site. One man's decision to dump cost somebody, most likely the taxpayers, millions. Good Old Charlie

Re: The Cackling Kamala Thread
 
Hey Jeff we have something similar down here, back in the 60's and 70's we had a large papermill that would take dioxin and barge it to these large tanks that were in San Jacinto River, dump into those tanks. Well those tanks started leaking years ago, still under water. It is now a multi billion dollar superfund site. They have monitors all around, buoys are put up to keep boats from coming close to them. However when we get hurricanes barges into getting blown into that area.

The papermill closed 30 years ago, and the problem still exists today and no one wants to do anything about it except keep kicking the can down the road. Every time we cross the San Jac River Bridge we look over at that area!

You tell me about the disposal of HazMat, I have shipped 55 gallon barrels of nuclear contaminated waste to Rocky Flats incinerators for years. Now Rocky Flats is a contaminated area,


Although all buildings were demolished and removed, some residual contamination remained in core production areas, settling ponds and two landfills. Remaining contamination includes low concentrations of radioactive materials, chemical solvents and heavy metal contaminants, generally below regulatory standards. Put that in your brain housing and think about!

Here is what I do know about Big Oil, the only obligation they have is to the CEO and the shareholder. They don't give a crap about their employees. My Dad worked for Penzoil for 20 plus years and died from cancer at age 51. I worked two summers there while I was in college. Safety was not one of their greatest assets, it was all about productivity and profits.

Eddie, it seems that you have done everything that anybody ever brings up on any topic whatsoever. you have already done it and was a master at it. I don?t know how you have accomplished all this in your lifetime. You are one amazing dude

Not true and a poor assessment on your part. 24 years in the military, 15 years Civil Service, 3 year GE Engine Services, 5 years credentialed teacher in Nevada and California. My 24 years in the military was not about sitting on my butt and polishing my boots. I was a tech and later an OIC of a Nuclear Ordnance Platoon, responsible for the safe guarding, maintain and deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. In my early years in the military I spent 38 months guarding two American Embassies in India and Honduras. Of that time, I spent 2 months with Henry Kissinger in the aftermath of the 1973 War safeguarding classified material at each of the embassies in the Middle East. Hope that satisfies your concerns, now go back and mind your own business. Oh by the way, if you are writing a book, I am 72.

The plating department had big shaker belts that carried oily parts from the press room (brackets and assorted stampings) down into the trichloroethane. They came out spotless. Best parts washer I've ever seen. Charlie Taylor, one of the maintenance guys had the responsibility to get rid of a small amount of the runoff from those belts. Every morning, he would take a forklift, go outside and pick up a 30-gallon drum. It would be about half/three quarters full. He would take it and dump it into the gravel parking lot. It would instantly disappear. About 1000 feet from where he was dumping was the Muskingum River. It's the river you cross over while traveling interstate 70 as you go through Zanesville. A couple years after I left United Tech the entire front page of the Zanesville Times recorder newspaper reads "TRICHLOROETHANE FOUND IN ZANESVILLE WATER SUPPLY !!" To this day, although that business is long gone and nothing is on that property but grass, there are huge aerators that must be maintained on that property. I see maintenance crews maintaining them all the time. That land is a superfund site. One man's decision to dump cost somebody, most likely the taxpayers, millions. Good Old Charlie

Yeah, I got a double dose of it with Camp Lejeune and cleaning electrical components of special weapons. Never told to mask or glove up. Bingo, 50% kidney loss. Just another paper cut as Randy would say.
