Oil Oil Oil

Oil Oil everywhere but not a drop to use. Have you noticed recently that when we discuss the "Canada through US oil pipeline" it always has to go to the Gulf. You know why that is? Because we export it!. Why don't we have refineries in the Dakotas or Wisconsin. Why don't we refine oil into fuel and keep it in the US. Oh yeah, because Europe is willing to shovel out 8 dollars a gallon as opposed to the US consumer wanting it between 2-3 dollars. Money money money. We should be asking the EPA why new refineries aren't allowed to be built, or ask the oil company why they export everything? People fail to realize that the North American continent has an oil reserve that rivals the Middle East, but we simply don't keep it.

Social Bubble

Here we go kids, starting on Friday the Social Bubble will get launched. Facebook is set to go public in the hopes of making over 100B dollars, in fact, each share already has 30 possible investors. However GM just pulled out all advertising from Facebook. Think about that. A company that is in the top 10 of those globally advertising pulled away from Facebook. Also throw this in only 1 of 2000 views of an ad on Facebook is clicked, 1 in 250 is clicked in Google. That is 10x the viewing. Consider this, when was the last time you clicked an ad on Facebook? How about the fact that Facebook is the next bubble. There still isn't a smart way to make money on social media, and why, because it is completely about self! If Facebook incorporated a direct feed of your personal eBay searches, maybe they could sell something, but as an advertising site, they suck. Facebook is used for people to talk about themselves, and hear about others, not 'buy' things. RIP Social Bubble 2012-2014...

Lawsuit to the NFL.

I'm sorry, all this suing the NFL for concussions is absolutely, 100%...absurd. What part of football is dangerous did these so called "athletes" not get? You were paid to play a dangerous sport, you knew it was dangerous, you pimped it, you embraced it, you were paid for it and you LOVED it. Now..you want to sue it. How nice. Too bad Marines can't sue the Military for creating a 'dangerous environment'. Last I checked, nobody forced you into the NFL. You got a BS and I mean bullsh-t degree from some University that pimped you in college and paid for your ride, then you left early to join the NFL for dollars. Now you have the audacity to act as if you shouldn't have had lasting injuries. Quick question, how many boxers are suing the boxing commission or murder themselves post-boxing because of "concussions". Pretty sure boxers suffer far more brain injury than a football player, yet you don't see them wacking themselves. Maybe the truth is N...
