😁👍
As the great activist Gloria Steinhem once said "The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off." Thanks for this reminder that it isn't over!
Algorithm for life
The Jr. Senator from NY has been agitating for the recording this amendment. Perhaps we'll see it done, five generations too late..
Wow well shot i didn't know thatnwas crazy
Another excellent and important explainer . Thank you.
Here is a picture-book explainer of the Equal Rights Amendment that is thought-provoking, educational and engaging. Anything equal rights should ALWAYS be a key component of the Constitution in all 50 states. Also suitable for learning in public schools.Very helpful and fascinating...ThankYou ! 💙
Hi good Donald! Nice to see you here!
I’m at a loss for why anyone would oppose it
Look at the Dobbs decision. It rendered women in a number of states powerless in reproductive healthcare. If this amendment gets passed, those laws can be challenged as unconstitutional.
Another well stated, easy to follow and understand explained video. Thank you 👍
I hope "Impartial Points" becomes a Beau channel...highly recommended !
Belle sent me a few weeks ago but I finally had an hour to watch.
Glad you came back. :)
What's civic engagement? Something sadly lacking in the USA. I hope this video can move that needle in the correct direction.
I saw street interviews with people who tuned out last election and did not vote - 10 million less than in 2020. People feel beat down by the moneyed interests. If only they knew how much power they could wield in their own interest...
Excellent work 🎉 Thank you very much 💙💙👍💙💙🎉
80 views so far. If this isn't taught in schools, few will ever know about it.
Haha @ cough, cough 4:20
I find this picture-book presentation on civic engagement truly thought provoking, fascinating as well as engaging. Also suitable for learning in public school systems. Highly recommended !
Voting is the ultimate act of civic engagement in a true democracy.
Thank you!
Liking, commenting, and subscribing can be civic engagement too 😉
I like that
Sent over by Belle if the Ranch. Thank both of you! 💜
Those ancient organisms were not Dinosaurs. Crude oil came from very small plankton, algae, etc. The chemistry of crude oil is amazing. A reminder of how many States have oil extraction is needed. Also note the number of orphan and abandoned wells in each State. I personally don't believe that any company should be allowed to drill an exploratory or new production well without first demonstrating that they are capable of using best practices to cap and plug wells. If you want to drill, then plug and cap five orphaned wells.
This needs 2 be forced
Found this channel through Belle and really like how you set up your points! Liked and Subscribed :)
Welcome aboard!
Where are you getting your numbers from, 2012??? In 2023, U.S. oil production was averaging 21.691 million barrels of oil per day, and averaging around 20.213 million barrels of consumption per day. 2022 was the first year that we sustained an average of producing more oil than we consumed. And yes you are correct about our refineries still being set up for heavy crude from Canada and Mexico, but that is rapidly changing with the shale revolution back in the mid 2000s, with work underway to change most of those refineries over so they can process the sweet crude we have in the shale, right here at home. Not to mention we have the worlds largest supply of natural gas by a looooooonng shot, no one even comes close. And that is the worlds 2nd most used fossil fuel and the cleanest of the dirty energy fuels.
21.691 in 2023 is for total petroleum products, not crude oil. The 21.691 includes: crude, hydrocarbon gas, biofuels, and processing gain.

@@impartialpoints .... Thank you very much! Reading back my comment I apologize if I came off a bit snippy, I lost track of time and woke up on the wrong side of the bed to start with, that was not my intention to come off that way. I always tell people this, but I really enjoy, usually, being proven wrong, as in this case, when I saw your response it made me fact check my own sources and realize I was looking at the data wrong, thinking that petroleum meant overall crude oil, so I am honestly thankful for your response and link.
@@impartialpoints ...The reason I've been trying to follow this industry lately is because of the opportunity that the U.S. will have in the coming years to really take advantage of the deglobalization that is pretty much inevitable now. That and despite being very unhappy with the election results for a myriad of reasons, and truly being scared for our country for the first time ever, I do believe if the orange man has the capacity to anything good, it's with him unknowingly having a good defensive foreign policy against China. Also because I'm tire of the global narrative that China is still a super power in manufacturing and energy export the way they were in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, they are not, they are on the brink of major economic and most likely societal collapse. Manufacturing is coming back home, and if we play our cards right the U.S. could be more prosperous than it's ever been. But there will be a LOT of growing pains, and with our political parties both so quick to play the blame game, instead of just facing it head on and dealing with it, I'm not sure we'll make through to the other side. Here's some links, curious if you agree with the first two, the other is just cause people are usually surprised about the China deal. th-cam.com/video/x1eFLsifD-A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jDD6JDiTZreOhihg th-cam.com/video/gMRgkpTuSiI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=c17OyJW0k6UAdkGe th-cam.com/video/z-VQzjxHaWc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JdOyiXu0qni0bMXl
Don't beat yourself up over it. We really strive to be an educational channel. That doesn't happen with questions or people challenging what we say. We have a really good fact checking process, but that doesn't mean we can't make mistakes.
Good points! I only wish you'd slow it up just a little. Also, maybe point out that we don't have (or want?) more refineries here.
It was made for the free slaves and their descendants!
Does the second amendment only apply to muskets?
@impartialpoints what are muskets? I hope it isn't derogatory cause I don't care or tolerate racism! The 14th amendment came after the Civil War when it was approved by 100% Republicans and 0 % Democrats! Do you know why the US can deport children of foreign diplomats despite some were born in America? The parents, aliens, are not citizens therefore the children can not be citizens!
Roads with Belle has a link to your video. Thank you for breaking it down. 💜
Belle is responsible for half our views on this channel. Her support is amazing.
Illegal aliens aren’t citizens so away they go.

US refineries can refine light sweet crude just fine, it's just a waste of money to do so when they can export it to countries with more basic refineries for full price without doing anything to it besides taking it out of the ground. That may change real quick if Trump makes imported tar sand oil too expensive to refine at a profit.
I wonder how people will react to gas prices going up if he does that?
In Canadian oil and gas we call it oil sands cause the oil is in sand but u likely know that
@@impartialpoints Same as they always do, half the country will blame the president, the other half will blame whoever he tells them to and he'll probably bleed the national reserve dry to get the price down before the next election (if there is one)
Market dynamics. That's what needs to be explained. I got crayons, someone needs to suppy the coloring book.
Be specific about what you want to know. We base our videos on questions from the comments section.
You forgot to mention that the technical term for oil is dinosaur juice. Aside from that, excellent job!
Fern fluid?
In my youth I chose gasoline as my science fair subject. I visited a refinery and had a row of glass jars showing the color gradient from sour to sweet. If I knew half of what you just taught me in 8 minutes back then, I would have won.
Maybe the talking points weren’t as ‘refined’ back then as they are today.
Like your other explainers I found this one to be very clear, quick and on point. At 6:52 you had some text and spoken words that I found fascinating: "Balancing oil and renewables: As renewable energy sources like wind, solar, *and electric vehicles* grow in popularity, the oil industry faces long-term challenges in maintaining relevance." Did you include Electric Vehicles as a renewable energy source due to their application as battery storage when used with bidirectional charging from intermittent renewable sources like wind and solar? Or is there something else you meant that I am missing?
Is there any value in the strategic view that it's better to use up foreign resources of this finite commodity rather than using up the domestic supply? Long ago I heard that argued as a reason to prefer importing oil.
Would like to see more of this abut would like to ssee the source materials.
Very well done
I find this topic fascinating about the economy & is very informative when it comes to oil. Very helpful as well!
Hi good Donald!
I really like it, that the topic is basically on point with discussions occuring in the Social Media World and presents nothing more than facts. Take care - Europe
We're trying to do exactly that. Thank you!
The tricky thing is the times the economy and the stock market intersect. I'm squarely middle-class but my retirement accounts are invested in stocks/ETFs. So I simultaneously feel the effects of the real economy in my everyday life but also feel the effects of the stock market.
I'd be lost without NASA...like literally!
OK, so what about a case of price increases in a certain sector due to illegal practices such as collusion/price-fixing? IF, for example, Realpage and the corporate landlords buying up more and more real estate and using their software to illegally control/inflate rents is eventually found guilty of say an illegal increase of 20% on average, shouldn’t the government then step in and say “ok, as of this date, rent is going back down 20%, back to pre-collusion prices, AND you, Mr scammy landlord, is going to refund all of that extra 20% people have already paid”. Isn’t this fair/plausible (albeit unlikely, I admit)?
Belle of the Ranch sent me, so I subscribed automatically. Great video!
omg this is a terrible video. it confuses how they measure inflation with what it is. all of these "inflation" causes are actually just supply and demand mechanics
Maybe you should check what you know. Just Google "demand pull" without the word inflation and see what happens. Then Google "cost pull".
@beauofthefifthcolumn and Belle of the Ranch brought me here.
Okay, okay, we get it. ;-) It was, and always will remain important to invest in, and appreciate NASA. I'm really curious which fan, or rather, ambassador of NASA, wrote the text for this video...,
Fan. 😆
Very educational and exactly the kind of deep dives I was hoping for. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
A constructive criticism: The last part of "Why should I know these concepts" should be at the beginning of the video so that a person who gets send this video immediately knows why they should continue watching and what topics are covered and their basic impacts. Otherwise great video and I will bookmark it to send to people who need a crash course in these subjects and their impacts.
Thanks. That's actually constructive. Appreciate it.
I wish everyone in the world was forced to watch this video.
Thank you for the primer on what should have been learned in Jr High school. That's why the Reichwing loves the poorly educated so much as they work to starve out public schools.
