    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    Need a definition of "middle class." Otherwise y'all might as well argue over "Freedom," "Justice," and "Democracy." Oh, and of course. . . "Fairness." With, of course, all the dark muttering. . .

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    I have heard that the primary factor in large swings in oil and fuel prices has nothing to do with actual supply or demand, but rather with the actions of commodity-trade speculators. Don't know myself, but that sounds reasonable.

    Judge Denies Bail for Convoy Leader over Intention to Cause Harm

    The guy whose nose grew when he lied? Nah. I mean, he shouldn't lie, but with a "tell" like that, you'd figure he'd get over that pretty quick.

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    You're probably right. With the proliferation of media, seems like screaming "DOOOOM!" at the top of your voice is the only way to get any traction.

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    Ah. . . a "wee hame i' the glen." I envy you. Sadly, we are suffering through what I hope will be a temporary period of the inflation of every damn thing to. . .

    Biden 2024 Gets a Bounce After State of the Union Speech

    Not hard. The election of 1800. In any Presidential election, if no candidate gets a majority of the electoral votes, Congress picks the winner. U.S. Const., Art. II, sec. 1, cl. 3.

    Judge Denies Bail for Convoy Leader over Intention to Cause Harm

    Sounds like the trucktards have their own bargain-basement Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc). Foolish of the courts to give them a propaganda tool.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    The thing to remember is that the Trumplicker crew would bad-mouth anything Biden did.

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    I'm completely with you. I don't give a rap about the left/right false dichotomy. I just get annoyed when people start shrieking that any given measure or proposal is a devastating blow to "Freedom!" or "Justice!" or "Democracy!" or some other undefined term.

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    Boss, you and I, and apparently nobody else on this board, have some notion of the complexity and interlocking nature of energy, particularly oil, in this troubled old world. And I give you full and enthusiastic credit for your solution. The other gum-beaters don't understand. All they care...

    That's extinguishing! Sorta.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    He didn't forget. He just loves Putin and hates the United States, and that colors his perceptions.

    Well that was entertaining!

    It's been all over the news. Washington Post, NY Times, ABC, CBS, Yahoo. I'd dig up a few examples, but you'd just call 'em "fake news" or somesuch horse shit.

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    That's what the courts are for. Unless you're a commuservative. Then you want the government to leave the people in FREEDUMB until it costs you a couple bucks. At that point, it's full-on socialism, government control of resources, prices, and private property.
