The public didn’t want anything cut, threw a hissy, and their representatives listened.

Say what you will, companies are fairing pretty well in the 1st Quarter. 84% have beaten their earnings estimates. [Hidden Content]

Whatever happened to DOGE?

Get off the gas man everyone has acknowledged the job he’s done!

They receive multiple tax breaks & investment guarantees. No different than ‘green energy’ companies. Although, wind, solar, and biofuels receive more direct subsidies. Renewable energy accounts for about 67% of federal energy spending. [Hidden Content] I wouldn’t say it’s a wash. But, it’s not a hand out. They have to invest to receive the benefits. The government has always (for around 100 years at least) felt that energy security was national security. So, they provided investment ‘breaks’ to help stabilize the oil market and encourage investment. That’s one of the main reasons US energy companies are the technological envy of the world. The government helps them invest in new tech when the firms are willing to take a chance on very expensive projects by providing said tax breaks, technology grants, and other incentives.

Congrats Coach!

So it’s a wash? They don’t receive subsidies? Interesting

To the dismay of WOS little league coaches and fans.

Info on the energy sector so-called subsidies. May provide a different take. What Jon Stewart And Others Get Wrong About Big Oil Subsidies

Thanks I didn't look today so for a day we were outa last place/

Houston is 5 back. Athletics are 18-16. Houston is 14-22. Down 4 in win column, down 6 in loss column. That makes you 5 games back.

Looky there we agree on something! Lol

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've read and/or commented and dozens of posts I've made. You know as well as I do, that post was made partly in fun (except the part about my brother). C'mon man. Don't bs your own self.

Hey, I'm for doing away with a lot of taxes. Not a problem.

I have my opinion but we have great kids. Well is ok.

Maybe so. I wouldn't be able to tell if he's supposedly said he was "surprised" though

Does that loss include the subsidies that these oil and gas companies get? Nothing is stopping our government from suspending all taxes on fuel till this situation in Iran is resolved.

She is the poster child for what's wrong with DEI hires! It's really bad when the other Justices smack you down.

Welp… now Trump needs a billion taxpayer dollars to pay for the $400 million dollar Ballroom that’s being 100% funded by private donations. He’s the biggest liar that’s ever been, and the people who still support him are the biggest suckers that have ever lived. Insert comparisons to other government waste, as if Dems are the problem, not the fact that Trump lies every time he opens his big fat mouth.

Did you see where I posted Exxon and Chevron lost money in the first quarter of this year? It was on Spectrum News yesterday. So, where is all this profit? Now, remember, oil companies don't actually set the prices at the different gas stations. So if certain gas stations are ripping you off then that's on them.

They've been down the last couple of years. Did the well dry up in Leggett?
