Why Gas Prices Are SpikingPosted By Mel Maki |
Our corporations do try so hard to do things for us. It doesn't make sense that people accuse them of caring about making money. Uh huh.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
You have a problem with cars getting better gas mileage? The automakers don't:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/02/business/more-automakers-drop-their-support-of-trump-era-fuel-economy-standards.html
Just a sampling:
"Honda, Ford, BMW, Volkswagen and Volvo Cars released a joint statement this morning saying, "We were proud to stand with California to establish progressive new greenhouse gas regulations, and we remain committed to leading the industry in fighting against climate change. That's why we support the Administration's goal of reaching an electric vehicle future and applaud President Biden's leadership on reducing emissions and investing in critical infrastructure to achieve these reductions."

They were more than happy selling us more than a million gas guzzling pickups and hundreds of thousands of thirsty cars every year. And we were very happy buying them! Hell, they were making only small changes every three or so years!!!They would not be so quick spending millions to change that unless the gov was breathing down their necks.
And they have little trouble convincing people how happy they are to do these things for us. They hire the very best people money can buy to help you understand!
Citizens are even more than happy to pick up the cudgel for them!

If people won't discuss it I can hope they at least consider how crazy it has been to put as much effort into COVID as many have yet look the other way when thousands go over the border not checked.Originally Posted by James Brown
Think of Jan 6 as a systemic stress test. The US system came through intact and nicely.
The less said the better?

The Mass Shooting/Tucker Carlson & Replacement Theory: "Who, Me?"Posted By Mel Maki |
I can hope before I get to the place where I show my friends Pakman videos and say, "Hey, check this guy out, he is good."Originally Posted by Rod KaufmanThe Fox News response to the shooting:

they have intervened and helped me get back on track!
According to him it is not a big deal if 700,000 come across the border because it is the people born in the US we need to worry about. Sure, let's worry about them, too. But to look up to this guy's politics is just sad!

"Resist" & ObstructPosted By Mel Maki |
I will soon need a current photo of you. If you appear old or very white you are toast. I might be able to convince people your opinion is suspect.Originally Posted by Rod KaufmanThe GOP mantra:
"Manchin expressed similar frustration on Monday when discussing his and Toomey’s legislation, which sought to mandate background checks for all gun commercial sales."
"We can’t even get Manchin-Toomey, which didn’t violate anyone’s rights. It just said there should not be a commercial transaction unless there’s a background check,” Manchin said. “It’s the most, I think it’s the most agreed upon, it’s the most accepted in the country and we can’t even get that"

Note the mean, old, white man in the picture, truly representative of the people he represents...

We can make a difference in the supply with their help. I see them responding to our max with an increase in their production. They would not like we take more, they take less every quarter.
No getting around the increase in diesel increasing the cost of our goods. Strategic reserve? Sorry? Can't see any blue sky. Recession is possible. Biden needs to lose some green. Maybe we can have a slightly green tint?

"Putin Had To Keep Explaining Things To Trump"Posted By Mel Maki |
This didn't need to be discussed here. It is common knowledge that Biden knows much more than Trump about everything. Sharp as a tack, he is. And Fiona or Putin would never veer from the truth.

Hey, I know. Let's hit these greedy BIG OIL guys with a tax on the profits they take that we think is just too much. Why wouldn't that keep them in line?

I do not think our problem with Russia was that Putin needed to keep explaining things to Trump. I don't doubt some believe, "That's it! Now I get it!"Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
