Oh indeed. They tell us lots of bullshit. But we still have to have our government slave numbers or else they’ll shut your business down and haul you to the gulag. I’m sorry, covid happy fun centres.
Goods and Service Tax. We have 2 taxes on goods you buy, GST and a provincial sales tax that’s different depending on your province/territory.
It’s nice to see some work done into this field. I spent 13 years on land based oil drilling rigs and for all the “running out of oil” scare mongering we seemed to keep working. I have no links to post but I had been told years ago the oil sands in Alberta were self renewing, and if there’s a seam leaking it to the surface from down below that makes a lot of sense.
The problem with deep exploration and exploitation of large reserves is the relative cheapness of current shallow deposits. Before I quit a year ago, we were punching out 2100-2500 meter deep wells in 3.5 to 3.7 days from start to moving the rig to the next well. Crazy stupid speeds and that was part of my quitting. Even if only 80% of the Wells we punched out produced, we would do 70-75 wells per rig in that part of the patch. There’s a significant amount of oil to be found near the surface without requiring expensive new equipment and deep wells. I fear we won’t see much public evidence of deeper reserves and generation until we tap most of the available easy fields.
The same reason they named one strain Gods Green Crack. The negative hype in its name gives it positive spin. Dennis Leary has a great bit about cigarettes years ago. “Now this asshole wants to make the warning on the pack.... BIGGER! Cause that’s the problem, all these smokers just didn’t see it. You could have the warning be the whole front of the package! Just a black package with a skull and crossbones on it, called Tumours, and you’ll have people lined up around the block the buy a pack!”
People pick names that they think are funny, clever or have inside jokes. Blue diesel doesn’t contain any diesel. Gorilla glue doesn’t contain any gorilla glue. Girl Scout cookies was a funny derivative for someone to name. Doesn’t have to be a big conspiracy for a stoner to pick a name that makes them giggle a little bit.

I haven’t been participating in their slave system as a blood source for the leeches for over a year now. But if I want to own my own business and sell a product world wide, unless I go full dark web the government Mafia needs their cut.
