Great for the plant based (on our return dining list)
Not so great for a steak, though

We used Lovell Farms a couple of times up in Caroll County
Pickup was in Mount Airy. Reasonably priced, had options of ground, stew, roasts where we could mark accordingly.
We don't eat as much beef anymore, so dunno how practical it was.

The oil majors lost billions the 1st half of 2020 and are only approaching break even.
Exxon still has ~$7 billion more in debt than pre pandemic.

>The UK-headquartered oil company said it had not paid the levy and did not expect to throughout 2022, because its British corporate entity did not make any profits during the quarter, in part, because of heavy spending on drilling more oil in the North Sea.
>However, Sunak’s scheme also introduced extended tax breaks for investment in extraction in North Sea oilfields. For every £1 businesses spent in the North Sea, they could reduce their taxes by 91p. It also does not cover profits made from forecourts, from refining or from trading shipments of oil and gas – areas where the company has made huge sums this year.
Appears that the windfall tax pertains to income directly from UK operations and that profits from the UK division were offset by the tax incentive wrote in May 2022 that allowed companies to offset 91% of the cost of North Sea development.

>As annoying as the British are, and as well documented as some of the abuses...the British are not this evil colonizing power you make them out to be.
Since I'm American, we disagree on the bolded point, tongue-in-cheek.

>Why? Turned how?
Like how the UK invaded India, turned it into a colony and looted it's riches? And now you have someone of Indian descent (who is also rich af) as Prime Minister?
Oh how the turn tables, as the kids say nowadays.

The only non-plant based dish when we went was an oyster appetizer.
Everything else was plant based. It was absolutely delicious. We are going to check it out again when they change their menu with the seasons.
Non vegetarians btw.
