On DST, could we all just get up and go to work when we want to, without someone telling us to.
I love the quote on facebook, by a native American, "Only a white man would cut the bottom of a blanket off, sew it back to the top, and call the blanket longer."

Another Native American quote:

"White man cut holes in wall to let in the light and the air, then put windows in holes to keep out the air, then put curtains on windows to keep out the light."

For me it isn't "someone" but "something" that gets me up every day. Hint, they Moo.

Clean water regulations have been with us since the 1970s and stars have been enforcing them since then. Oil companies and everyone else that are regulated under those permits are getting the permits as SOP and it has no effect on stopping operations. States have lists of “best management practices” for different activities and the industry is used to compliance. Permits are issued and operations continue. We deal with those in the forestry industry also. Clean water is a good idea.

First time I have heard an "epa" guy called a star

What you stated was true at one time. It is still true to some extent but now the term "hot shot" is more often used to name a dually pick up with a gooseneck trailer that runs lighter loads then a semi truck.

Must depend upon the industry as we've used Hot Shot delivery services for years and never had the need for a dually with a gooseneck trailer. Most of our Hot Shot deliveries are hand carried to a waiting vehicle, typically things like governors, control boards, speed probes etc. When production was running making several hundred thousand dollars an hour they'll spend whatever it takes to get back up and running. We've had private jets waiting on technicians if that's what it took to get back up and running as soon as possible,.

It has been accurately said that low supply and high demand are the cause of inflation.
But one has to dig more to find out why.
For those who believe that it is Big Oil and their shareholders holding back, I would challenge you to read this.


I blue board member just shot down his own parties' nomination for the Fed. Reserve board and now refuses to vote on another nominee. The reasoning was in regards to gas and oil. Read it yourself. I suspect he forgot more then we collectively know about it. Again, it is about policies not politics that is being discussed as the players in this article are all blue.

The West Virginia Democrat went one step further, withholding the nomination of an Interior Department nominee until the Biden administration committed to more oil and gas drilling.

Please take the political discussion to the front porch: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/the-front-porch/

Politics aren't allowed in the main forums. Thanks.

I remember when IBM would use a taxi cab as sort of a hotshot. Fly a part to Birmingham AL where a taxi was waiting to run the last hundred miles to the boonies. This was before FedEx or Purolator and the like served rural areas well. IIRC, a 100MB disk drive weighed 90 lbs.

LOL at y'all arguing about pipelines and oil supply. [ puts on flame suit ]

Consider: Oil and energy prices should be higher. Like, way, way higher. Cheap energy prices is perhaps the single worst part of the history of human existence on this planet.

Wah wah wah about your diesel fuel prices. So raise your price quotes if you need to. If your goods or services are essential, people will pay the surcharge. If they aren't, then good riddance to your superfluous consumption of earth's finite resources; find something more productive and necessary to do.

If gas/diesel prices doubled overnight, we would still drive to work, drive to get groceries, pay more for our food and goods, and run our tractors. Yes, it would hurt, and I understand how regressive this is for our impoverished and low income compatriots. But everyone commenting in this forum has such an insanely high standard of living, it's crazy. And clearly unsustainable for the planet. Reducing consumption is our only chance at saving this place.

What Is Holding U.S. Oil Production Back?

Despite oil prices sitting well above the $100 mark and President Biden calling for more oil, U.S. producers are not opening the taps in the same way they did years ago
