Oil Companies Refusing to Up Production?

SOOOOOOOOO many, countless thousands.

Especially with the custom work.

Ive recently been thinking about starting just custom exhausts. Kids of all ages love the pipes, and there’s plenty of room for a little profit.

One old buddy of mine does speed kits and custom drag cars. He does pretty good. Took a while to get established, but he stays busy and builds some sick cars.

Castoli would call you all evil capitalists bent on making a profit and making people suffer.

@Bauber might be interested in a high end titanium exhaust system

Oh, he has no idea. When me & my buddy were starting a residential tree company I would bring the pain soooo badly. Dudes would go home at lunch and not even come back to get paid. Absolutely ruthless.

Even after a massive heart attack I still ground a few people to a pulp.

Titanium is tricky! It definitely takes a special touch and some additional precautionary procedures.

I’d need to get my feet wet with some stainless and aluminum before touching that.

It’s called the cult of the self.

Do people who make profit automatically make people suffer? No. But there are many industries who DO NOT care about the consequences downstream. They privatize the profit and socialize the cost.

Cool, but I don’t listen to philosophy of commies.

Blame government then.

Don’t hate the business using everything legal to maximize profit. If you as a business are not doing everything legally available to you to maximize profit, you aren’t very good at business.

Do you pay more taxes than required? If not, you are hurting people.

Cool, but you don’t listen to anything except the propaganda you’ve been spoon fed all of your life.

Yeah, don’t hate the business for buying off politicians so they can dump more toxic waste into the river so you can sicken the people of the community. All for more profit. So I do blame the government as they share in the blame, but I do not let private industry off the hook like you.

Yep, the clown is back

And this is your retort because you have nothing! Of course I’m a clown as I don’t subscribe to the propaganda that you do.

So because I know how the system is and play the game accordingly, I am buying the propoganda?

So, is lobbying now the thing that hurts people or maximizing profits?

Both are legal, so explain again how you blame the corporations?

Also again, do you pay more taxes than you have to because you can afford it? If not you are just as bad for taking advantage of the system.

It does both.

Legal does not mean moral or that it’s right. It was legal at one time to keep blacks and women from voting and that was legal. Did that make it right?

Do corporations have an army of tax attorneys to take advantage of a tax system in which they have written the rules? I do not. When CEO’s pay less of a percentage of their income in taxes as their secretary does, something is obviously askew. Because I pay my obligation in taxes, you equate me with corporations or the billionaire class who off-shores a good chunk of their money to avoid taxes? Your posts have conflated many things on this forum. Good lord.

I’m not a corporation, but you seem to lump me in with them or at least look at me as evil like them.

I conflate things? Pot meet kettle.

Thank you for admitting to taking part of the system that has been crafted to cause harm and thinking yourself innocent.

And you call us brainwashed.

Tell me you don’t understand taxes without telling me.

This doesn’t happen. It’s impossible.

There is no way a 500k a year CEO (example) can pay less of a percentage than a 50k Secretary (example)

But EVEN IF IT WAS ( it is not) let’s say the CEO pays 5% where as the secretary paid twice as much, so 10%

She pays 5k
He pays 25k

So even in this situation he is paying 5x more taxes for exactly the same purpose as her.

The biggest charity donors are billionaire capitalists :man_shrugging:
The people who may the most tax (regardless of their best efforts to reduce that amount) are capitalists
The people who create the most jobs and innovate the most for the advancement of human life are capitalists.

You just have to get one of those awesome laser sintering titanium 3D printers (I think they use a version of titanium with a lot of cobalt in it). You only need a couple million and a large room with good exhaust. Lol

Maybe we can convince @Bauber to invest, but that would mean his evil capitalist ego would be investing to make more profit regardless of how many new jobs a cool manufacturing facility might create…

@castoli
The other folks I have met who speak of propaganda and brainwashing the way you do also believe the earth is flat…just saying.

WTH are you talking about?

So when Warren Buffet says this, he is lying?
