JoeAverage Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I can easily move beyond Trump, what comes next is more important. What will Democrats do with their new found power? I only have a few requests: 1. Eliminate SALT cap 2. Don't fuck with my health insurance 3. Don't get us into an endless war 4. Don't go over board with tax increases 5. Another tax shelter would be nice 6. Chill a bit on Big Oil as it is my source of income, after 5 years, I really don't care. 7. Get big tech under control 8. Realize free shit ain't free There are many other items surely but this is a start. Again, Congratulations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut subsidies to big oil and put it towards green energy, you do realize a portion of the subsidies will still go to big oil right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a little about 6 but only from working on the periphery of the oil and gas industry and having friends in it. The stated goal of transitioning away from fossil fuels shouldn’t impact your job, IMO. That’s why I didn’t choose 6. Coal has to go. Coal plants should be converted to natural gas. Oil probably has about 20 years and residual demand will remain for a hundred. Natural gas has at least 30 to 50 years, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrock2310 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Here here... a rational human being. Someone who knows the sun will come up tomorrow. Your family & friends are still there. It’s so creepy seeing just how peoples identity or self-worth is seemingly tied to trump. Country over party. Kudos to you, Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
