Pretty much.

problems we shouldn’t have

Anyone planning on driving to Alaska @ 7mpg probably shouldn't complain about the fuel cost

Why?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Why?

Because.....its 7mpg. The fuel cost is going to be astronomical no matter what. Even when prices were normal (not pandemic prices) you're still looking at 6k for fuel. Plane tickets are not that expensive.

Why would you not complain about spending 33% more when it doesn’t have to be that way?

It won’t be long before we are told about getting used to the new normal.

Man works all his life, saves and plans and through piss poor leadership he can’t take the trip he’s been planning. The guy is elderly and might not have many opportunities left.

That is where we have landed with the people hanging to this admin.

A big pile of suck and they’re all “it’s not that bad”, “it could be worse”, “…. Privilege”.

He has the resources clearly, just not willing to pay up.

Well for 1, its not going to change anything

Might as well shut this forum down.

You seem to misunderstand a basic necessity for the majority of retirees.

yes it will , the amount you spend on every single thing you purchase will change , the quality and quantity will change because fuel prices affect every single commodity that is produced and moved . Higher fuel prices are only sustainable for so long before change becomes inevitable.

Yup, the price of diesel affects almost everything you buy. And often at multiple steps along the value chain. A recession looms…

This is the insane **** that people don't understand.

In our very small business, the state and local governments took about $0.33 of every single dollar handed over our counter through all of the various taxes we were subject to. Our profit hovered around $0.10 per dollar at the best of times, and when COVID hit went lower with increased supply cost.

I've said it before and I'll say it again- the government and its cronies will scream about MuH rEcOrD pRoFiTs while covering for their "profit" generated by doing next to nothing. People need to start thinking of every dollar they earn and spend holistically and try to understand where each part of it really ends up.

EDIT: and by "profit" I include what we could pay ourselves for running the business, not "profit" that we held/rolled over/used to invest in things.

But just think of all the stuff they do with that extorted money. The infrastructure so obama could tell you that you didn't make that, and the redistribution so some customers can buy what you sell. Of course the processing and handling fees necessary to keep inflated bureaucracies running to do all that for you are a killer. With things like our government as our friend who would ever need an enemy.

I fear this will go beyond recession.

Indeed. And it is why Biden deserves to be criticized nonstop.

When the whole world stopped to care about this stupid virus, you could at least point to the Trump administration doing an all out blitz to get a vaccine created and distributed with an urgency and dedication to the goal.

This is not to pump the vaccine or Trump, because I don’t really care about either and probably don’t agree with everything he did to make it happen. That said, they determined there was an urgent problem and dedicated themselves to reaching their solution.

Now we have a dipshit not acknowledging the seriousness of a the issue and making token moves like dipping into strategic reserves.

@WBO

Is this Jewish racism?

I pointed out the things that led to my conclusion, other than money where are the two alike?

Be accurate with your examples.

He has spent his entire life in politics which means he has been surrounded by sheer incompetence. If anyone who voted for him expected a competent man then they were sorely mistaken. He has no clue how to solve anything other than throwing money at it. I have no doubt gas cards will be on the horizon to "help" offset the cost

It will because it more than just crazy fuel prices , look at that $1400+ a ton Anhydrous ( that’s insane ) ..
