The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"For a long time, OXY was headquartered in L.A.. Chances are good that Charlie had met Hammer and/or knew people that knew him. In any case, Charlie was aware of OXY and their leadership/business practices going back at least 30-40 years."

Just googled "Munger Tolles OXY"

Lo and behold:

"Energy and Regulated Industries

Clients

We represent some of the largest energy sector clients in America, including:

Chevron
Edison International ' Southern California Edison
Liberty Utilities
Occidental Petroleum
PacifiCorp"


mto.com - Practices industries

Would be interesting to know how far back MTO had represented OXY.
