Of all the American jobs that might be taken by poorly-educated Central American immigrants, Prescription Discount Card Hustler is pretty high up on the list.
Here's a general tip: if a news article headline ends with a question mark ("Immigrants bringing diseases across border?"), you can safely ignore it. This also works for many Drudge/FoxNews headlines ("Obama to free Gitmo terrorist because he took up yoga?"). You're welcome.

Lol

SM2, is your dad the one who sold you on this silver business? If so, does he seriously have millions of $$$ in silver like in his basement?

Speaking of basements, can we get a follow up story on your moms living situation? Last time she made the headlines she was being foreclosed on while you and your pappy stroked your silver bars (shavings, in your case) and blamed lol taxes for her demise.

What I would give to read a detailed case history on you dude. People don't just pop out of the womb as a unique SM2 snowflake.

Lol infowarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs

Lol "50 other states"

Lol Silver Man

He's pro-fed.

Sold me on silver business??? What is there to sell? The dollar is a fraud. Silver is real money. It is about the simplest of simple concepts. Silver = money. Dollars = promises. Dollars are almost worthless and nobody wants them internationally because they know the dollar is a joke.

Man I hope the government doesn't ban the internet before they change pricing oil in dollars.

I don't need potential diseases they may bring across to justify why they shouldn't be allowed in.

They should be bussed and flown back to Mexico, period. Or to D.C. to be closer to Obama.

Kind of like Obama saying he had been to 57 states. Bet you laughed at him for that, right? Nahhhh, you didn't.

Lol reaaalllll monneeeeyyy

Yep, the irresponsible mainstream media continues to bury the truth by putting this story on their front pages:

Obama vows urgent action as children make perilous illegal journey into U.S.
Unaccompanied immigrant children put strain on resources
Too Many, Too Fast: Border Children Swamping Agents

When faced with the suffering of others, obviously the correct response is "How might that suffering impact me?"

meanwhile, Mexico is rapidly dying as its petrol production continues its terminal decline ... with that, there is no funding left to thwart its descent into full-fledged narco state.

but that has nothing to do with anything, I'm sure.

Defelector Shields engaged! Lol

Correct. Has nothing to do with anything given that net immigration from Mexico was way down with the US recession and Mexico is undergoing the most significant energy sector reform in generations.

Keep playing that one hit wonder on every subject though Jiggs, eventually that hammer will find a nail.

We've reached the decline phase of peak Jiggs. A once great troll reduced to '14 Jeter like output.

EDIT: Just saw the promise to create the peak oil thread to end all peak oil threads and withdraw most of my complaints, maybe we can frack some more entertainment out of Jiggs yet.

Where "reform" is a desperate punt to privatization after decades of state-owned production. I'll note you didn't suggest their production was set to increase, however. Good choice.

It has everything to do with it, deep thinker. Including their inability to do anything about their descent into narco-trafficking chaos.

It finds the nail each and every time, growth junkie.

Actually, while my production has been Henry Aaron-like in its consistency, my argument is more relevant and indisputable than ever. Especially with the IEA finally admitting U.S. production decline set for 6 short years from now. Oops. So much for "a century of energy independence."

Yeah, I noticed that thread went dead silent after that post. Really not much for the "No Problem" camp to say anymore without looking ******ed.

The entertainment comes from people like you, mired in thick, tar-like denial. I kinda love it.

You guys are literally in the same league with climate denialists on this issue. It's that bad.

brace yourselves... Gambool is now desperately scrambling to teh Googlez to find irrefutable loljiggs evidence that Mexican oil production is set to skyrocket. Any minute now.

fail

Not going to skyrocket in the next couple of years, it will increase in the medium term. Lol at "desperate punt to privatization".

Lol at Jiggs creating his own definition of oil and then lecturing others about science.

Care to make a wager on that? Please do step in it.

Keep fooling yourself, dip****. Nevermind the fact that PEMEX has pension concerns to the tune of 8% of GDP, they're quite desperate to explore for shale and offshore fields, as their conventional C+C production continues to drop like your credibility here.

LOL... it's not MY definition. And I'm not really lecturing as much as I'm making sure the forum is crystal clear on how limited your grasp of science actually is. Most people who've never even taken a geology course understand that there are different grades of petroleum, and that they don't burn with the same efficiency. But do continue pretending synthetic oil from bitumen and kerogen is exactly the same stuff.

Mexico is dying. And it has everything to do with shrinking petroleum exports. Deal with it.

Sure Jiggs. Will bet Mexican oil output higher in 2024 then today for any amount up to $10,000. Definition of oil to be determined by outside group (i.e not you)

EDIT: Can do 3 or 5 year averages too if you dont want to get locked in for output for one year. You have the lol side of the bet though, so you might want to embrace variance and take the one year bet.

"any amount up to $10,000" meaning the global price per 42-gallon barrel?

you can include junk oil if you like. I'll take that bet.

Of course, you said "mid-term," so we'll need a time-line parameter. It's easy to spike production in the very short term. The U.S. is currently shooting its wad, short-term, in a desperate bid to "maintain growth."

Of course, if Mexico increases production slightly, but its exports continue to decline as domestic consumption rises, you still lose.

See my edit, 3 or 5 year timeline is fine.

You booking the whole $10K? Escrow at start of time period?

This is a perma-ban bet. I don't want your money. I just want you to not have a home anymore while you waste company time on weekday afternoons.

so let's agree on what the latest figure is for Mexican oil production, so you can't move the goalposts later.

Jiggs, I'll be retired and you'll be banned well before the bet is graded. Will do an exile from PU and politics bet with you though if that's what you choose. Would rather have some money in 2029 or w/e, but OK.

EIA has 2.5 million barrels a day as Mexico's production number.

LOL...you'll be broke. Agreed.

Clever, as it sets the lower figure for you. But that's conventional crude, and you wanted it all to count. Their total oil figure is 2.9 million per day.

If you want something more timely, we can continue to negotiate.

That's fine, just use that same metric in 2027 or 2029.

For sure wont be broke Jiggs, stop projecting.
