The Dig on a History of Oil and Gas in America
Dig on America
07/07/22 • 114 min
We discuss our relationship with Oil, take a look at the history of oil from starting with our reliance on the Middle East, how it impacts our economy, and why the price is high. Plus we discuss alternatives and look at a few reports with differing views and some fun graphs.
Some facts for the graphs.
U.S. gasoline prices jumped from $1.37 to $2.37 per gallon in 2005 as the price of a barrel averaged about $60.
In 2008, oil prices rose to as high as $145 per barrel causing a search for alternate sources, and gas at the pump hit as high as $3.90 national average. By 2012, less than half the US oil consumption was imported, which took place under Obama, and in January 2015 decreased to around $50 per barrel gasoline fell to about $2.43 and then to a 20 year low of $2.14 in 2016, and have risen slightly since. After Trump took office in 2017, prices increased slowly, hitting $2.99 in May 2018 against a barrel cost of $74. After a slight dip in 2019, (oil companies made about $55 billion that year) prices fell sharply early in the COVID 19 pandemic, which of course was orchestrated by this podcast and our boss, George Soros, but raised quickly by may and increased steadily since then. When Biden was sworn in, the price per barrel of crude oil was $ 55, and the price at the pump was about $3 per gallon.

Dig on America
05/05/22 • 110 min
The Ginger Geek Matt Delhauer joins us for our 100th show to discuss the political undertones and overtones (and of course some racism and classism) in the Star Wars franchise as a salute to May the Fourth be with you, and happy cinco de mayo too...
Ahead of the release of the “Star Wars” film “Rogue One,” Disney chief executive Bob Iger made an emphatic claim when asked about the movie’s message: “Frankly, this is a film that the world should enjoy. It is not a film that is, in any way, a political film,” he told the Hollywood Reporter, speaking about what was then the latest addition to the sprawling sci-fi saga. “There are no political statements in it, at all.”
Iger was reacting to controversy over (quickly deleted) tweets from two of the film’s writers. Chris Weitz had observed that the series’ Galactic Empire represented “a white supremacist organization.” It was “opposed,” commented his colleague Gary Whitta, “by a multicultural group led by brave women.” Just weeks after the election of President Trump and the culmination of an acrimonious, racially charged political campaign, the film was hailed by some as “anti-Trumpian” — and subject to boycotts by irate members of the alt-right, a coterie of white nationalist who were upset about the film’s supposed liberal bent.
