It’s nice that America is still a country that admires those who are confident, smart, industrious and rich. As opposed to the envious and bitter, who want to damn them by exaggerating the burden of pollution.

It continues to boggle mind: Many people simply don't understood the concept of capital formation, George.

The SpaceX IPO created over 4,400 millionaires among current and former employees, with about 400 of them holding stakes worth over $100 million. [https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/technology/spacex-ipo-employee-millionaires.html]

Because SpaceX historically compensated staff at all levels—ranging from welders and cafeteria workers to elite engineers—with equity instead of top-market cash salaries, the massive $2.11 trillion public market debut resulted in one of the most widespread wealth-sharing events in corporate history.

Like the sons of Issachar, Chris Wright understands the times and knows what America should do.

It may be comforting to have a reliable supply of raw crude oil, but Energy "REALITY" tells us that we need refineries to convert that useless black tar into usable transportation fuels and products:

• Planes, ships, trucks, and cars do not run on raw crude oil, they run on transportation fuels manufactured FROM crude oil by multi-billion-dollar refineries.

• Wind turbines and solar panels ONLY generate electricity but CANNOT make any products or transportation fuels for life as we know it.

• The world is not dependent on raw natural fossil fuels BUT has become dependent on the products and transportation fuels MADE FROM oil, the same products and transportation fuels that Wind and Solar CANNOT make!

The world needs MORE REFINERIES to process that useless black tar into usable transportation fuels and products for life as we know it.
