National Average Price of Gasoline Hits an All-Time High

What's he charging for fuel surcharge, 25-30%?

He told his customers that he wouldn't until it reached $5. I haven't asked him lately.

Farm bankruptcies will be through the roof this winter.

More land for the commie corporate farms. Less competition - just what we need. Just imagine what those good farmers south of our border are going to be using to fertilize the food they export to us.

 

[AM64]

Federal bureaucracy needs to gtf out of the way. EPA, DOT, etc. Damn I hate these people.

Imagine how much fertilizer demand goes to produce subsidized ethanol rather than into crops for food. With the administration pushing E-85, that's an even bigger obstacle for farmers who grow produce for food to have to compete with.

If they're corporate, they're not communist.

Subsidized Corporatist is the right term, I think.

Not a fan of the Monsanto Machine

From your link:



When you can't get the numbers you want to fit your agenda massage them until they fit.

Absolutely. The climate change zealots may not have pioneered the method, but they sure paved the way for newer people massaging data. If at first you don't succeed, make a new model as the starting point and extrapolate from there.

I am glad for the destruction they stop. I cannot imagine how scarred and unsafe parts of our country would be without them. My drive home is depressing seeing the scraped, blasted hills where the coal ran out. None of God's beauty left in the rubble

Yeah, I know. We really need a new word to show disgust since "commie" and "nazi" are still considered political. We have this problem with contracting (as in getting smaller) competition. We can't do without the corporate way of business, but it's been turning pretty evil and vile smelling - too big to be good.

Just remember to wave to all the houses with kids that are getting hungrier everyday with out of control inflation and supply shortages.

The final numbers will be much higher. We’re around 1.5 million deaths from Covid when you examine excess deaths.
as someone who works in the medical field. Death certificates are not falsified. The Covid death numbers that are reported are well below the actual Covid deaths.

Maybe but for most Americans Covid was a non issue and it was a severe overreaction by the federal government, it should have been handled much differently. I am a teacher and work with hundreds of students on a daily basis along with dozens of other adults. I didn't wear a mask a single day at work neither did most of my coworkers along with few if any students. No one died or got seriously sick other than a couple of very old substitutes, it was overblown to get rid of Trump, nothing more. Were there some very sick people? Yes. Should we have shut down the economy or put idiotic restrictions on transportation? No. My wife is a cancer survivor and was a cancer patient at the time, has diabetes, and autoimmune disorder. She is also a teacher, her students didn't wear masks, and neither did most of her coworkers. Both of us caught Covid and it was nothing more than a slight cold. I nearly drove myself insane trying to protect her. It was wildly overblown.

The world reaction to Covid provoked the paraphrased thought below, in my head as soon as the madness started.

“When goods don’t cross borders, tanks (troops) will”

And look at the world today. Not suggesting the Covid reaction provoked the actions by Putin. But you just can’t stop the world economic machine and not expect a hot mess. It is perhaps one of the worst self inflicted wounds in world history.

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.

Biden is an easy mark, but he’s going to be gone at some point.
I think the Republicans run the risk of an CNN like moment where they go “oh sh!t, what do we do now?” if they make this all about him.

The target here would be ‘The Democrats’ - not Joe Biden.

It is the Democrats that have waged war on Oil for 50 years, not really the current administration.

Totally agree.

Diesel Fuel as it relates past recessions

 

[Rickyvol77]

yes, their secret plan is to create a worldwide recession where consumption dives thanks to companies going out of business, people losing jobs, disposable incomes evaporating. That is their wheelhouse for profits.

Some people have no understanding of economics and real world applications.

No one said they were falsified but several were listed as Covid deaths but they didn’t die OF Covid they had it

 

[0nelilreb]

Big jump today in fuel here … regular fuel -$4.27, Diesel fuel - $5.50

Perhaps Biden will release another 2 days worth of oil from the strategic oil reserve.

Good try. Unless your data comes from Conspiracywarehouse or DeepRedState or IHateDimsLol there's little to no chance of it being considered as valid by a good portion of posters here. They already know everything, and any data that doesn't fit their narrative is fAkE nEwS

More othering? You are the king of not taking sources seriously if they disagree with your leftist views. More hypocritical posting

Do you see me posting from Palmer Report, Mother Jones, or any other openly and gleefully biased source on the reg? Or even rarely? No. I do my dead-level best to stick to WWWWWH and clear disclosure media.

No one should be taking any media seriously that uses epithets, insults, cheerleading, or open partisan connections.

Nice try .. point us to the link that answers the question of did those all of those people die with or from Covid . Until that gets answered , truthfully , “ all stats are extremely suspect , regardless of where they come from .

I works like to see that data as well, but I believe it's important to view it in context.

People rarely die from being shot. It's the shock and/or blood loss than gets them. Should those deaths be considered from shock or blood loss, out attributed to the gun shot?

Mental gymnastics here. It’s not the same to say someone died of a GSW when the blood loss is due directly to the GSW, to say someone who died in a car accident or had stage 4 renal failure and happened to have Covid “died of Covid”

Was the shooting the thing that caused the blood loss ? Then yes you died from your wounds directly related to being shot . Did the health care systems put Covid as a cause of death to get relief funding from the government ? If during the pandemic I died in a hospital from a stroke , but tested positive for Covid while I was in the ICU , would I have been counted toward a Covid death ?
