Well, H1B-Slavery is another topic. DEI hires are (AFAIK) pretty much all citizens, but my suspicion is that companies hire them in some kind of quid-pro-quo deal with the govt, so if ever that subsidy disappears, they'll all be let go the following day...

> Defund the police then?

Source of the problem is that criminals vote (often more than once), and so politicians pander to them. Judges are politicians, and police work for them.

Everybody pays basically the same number. There is a discount because Russia has a hard time offloading oil with the sanctions, but even that discount is gonna be something that's fairly well known around the oil trading community. Keeping secrets is hard...

They just pay the market + transport costs and with discounts based on what other buyers (๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ) Russia has. This is like one of the *easiest* things to price.

If course they will, oil is a liquid commodity, whoever wants it buys from whoever is selling it. Nobody cares where they're getting their oil from*

*Except the refineries which tool up for different grades of oil, but that's another story

Makes no sense because they'll buy it from Russia, who can deliver from their own supply. What matters is the price, higher hurts China, lower hurts Russia...
