Such Authorities, bought and paid for within an administration, can
Never be Proven wrong.  They're authorities, and you choose to believe
them.

But the FTC doesn't discuss awl refinery repairs anyway.

Not for your benefit, this evening.  I'm off to play some tennis and
that's more important.

Which is complete nonsense, because the "reports" split things like
the extraction side from the refining side and that from the wholesale
side and that from the retail side.

Each side gets its own percentage -- but the percentage doesn't tell
the tale regardless.

This is more of the self-serving PR from the awlbidniss.
