I worked the Oil Field for twenty years and the Corps of Engineers has known, forever, about the Madrid Fault line just South of Chicago.

how exactly did the oil companies benefit from the war in Afghanistan?  

Just a few options you have to invest in are: residential and commercial real estate, undeveloped or raw land, real estate notes (mortgages and deeds of trusts), private limited partnerships (limited liability companies and C corporations), tax lien certificates, foreign currencies, and oil and gas investments to name a few.

They need to be worth above $200 million to be in our group.Here is how the families came into their net worth - and keep in mind some are "old money" (3rd generation) and many are "new" money (first generation);Oil related companies (started the company)Real estate holdings (retirement developments, hotels, commercial rehabs)Media companies (ownership)Software / internet startups (man are these growing every day!)

My son was there all day and we had determined that the dual oil tanks weren't fueling properly and were equalizing tanks about when the guy got there.

I don't think so, there has always be regulation and deregulations; look at the way the old coal mine owners would exploit the workers they had in the mines, the old oil barons, the tycoons who built the railroads, these people had children working for them, are those actions right or wrong?

Is an artist as a being him or her self subject to the limitations of oil based paint?

Please....as if the Chinese won't keep buying their oil.

What they can and will do is oil the skqueaky wheel and may do so at any amount financed.Noncompliant lenders need to hope and pray that their deal doesn't blow up.

im just starting out as well, but my full time job is on a drilling crew working in the oil industry.
