last time I stopped in at BJ's I paid $4.37 for premium in Kissimmee Florida. the other day I was at Wawa near my kid's and some dude was filling up people's tanks for $20, I think he found someone's gas card and was cashing in on it.
Is it really a conspiracy when we know the rich want us as slaves? Everyone knows it.
Neo-feudalism is the goal. You have to either be dumb as dirt or highly delusional to think otherwise.
I also remember a ton of "conspiracy theories" that became undeniably fact over the last 2 yrs. Surely, you're right this time, though.

I agree, they want us struggling and having to work more. everyone I know seems to be working 48-60 hours a week just to be able to save a little money and not just break even. fuel price going up along with inflation is an easy way to flip the script on the average working class individual or family.
I keep seeing these Biden " I did that " stickers on the pumps....

I get paid for 48 hrs over 2 days (so luckily not busting my ***), but, yeah, I'm not getting ahead. Property tax thieving wipes out raises let alone inflation.
Almost as good as when good 'ol Joe saved American families 13 cents last year at 4th of July.
Right? We were 10 cents shy of having the money for my celebration party. If 'ol Joe hadn't stepped in, my entire family and friends would have had to forego the entire holiday weekend
im about the fill up at arco today, the cheapest stations out here in southern california
i expect to pay like $85
also, never in my life have i seen gas go down.
maybe a slight up and down, but we are at almost $7 here.
so, this is life and it's the least of everyone's financial worries.
I'll be filling mine up tomorrow as well at BJ's, their gas prices are pretty good. luckily my job is just 20 miles away but my kids like about 44 miles from me. picking them up than bringing them back on Saturdays kills half my tank.
I used to hide my hide in shame when I bought my 2010 prius for a daily driver a couple years back. Now that its value has literally doubled since then, and that a tank of gas lasts me for all of eternity, I have no shame. Its a raging shtbox for sure, but its really not as bad to drive as one would think. It also makes the maxima feel so much faster and fun when I take it out and allows me to keep her as a strictly warm weather car - no more exposing her to salty winter roads. Saves me from getting bankrupted paying for 93 octane as well.
Waiting for the day that gasoline becomes something for the wealthy only, and EV rideshares become all us plebs have access to. Enjoy our cars while it lasts?
Just going to leave this here from my TDI. My 12 mile drive home Friday. I usually average 43-45 but I didn't catch many lights that day. $70-75 per fillup but I get about 675 miles to a tank Except for the $2,000 DPF that is dying. Thank goodness for the dieselgate warranty!
The wife's I35 only gets about 6,000 miles/yr, so that's not hurting us. I would say our total fuel expenditures went up about $100/mo between both cars.
And I'm not picking sides here, but gas is up all over the world. If some dummy in the white house could control gas prices, gas would be $1.50 right before every election. Current admin may be a soggy cardboard box, but he's not the cause here. Welcome our new corporate overlords. They learned lessons from the flux of supply/demand back in the 2008 recession. They know fossil is slowly coming to an end and are purposefully not expanding operations on a large scale. We're entering the beginning of the scarcity phases. At some point in the next 15-30 years, governments will have to prioritize their diminishing reserves to federal/state/commercial fleets to keep the countries running. Normal citizens will be priced out if we aren't transitioning to alternate energy. However, power grids buckle under current loads. Add all these electric cars and the grid will falter. We are screwed

You haven't been paying attention. That dummy's masters have cancelled multiple pipelines, stopped all federal drilling, and announced from day 1 they're attacking fossil fuel industry. Europe has followed suit with the Ukraine bull****, so now there's a huge artificial supply limitation and speculation running wild based on these morons' policies.
Drillers will no longer spend a penny to expand or increase production, period. No more increased capacity, FOREVER, as it stands. This is by design to bankrupt you. Also, remember that all of the small drillers that gave us such supply are gone. The dummy parties worldwide did that with lock downs. Seeing a pattern?
So, yes, technically, a dummy can double gas prices. After all, a previous dummy had the Ukrainian govt overthrown to precipitate the current events.
This has jack **** to do with the oil companies and everything to do with intentionally bankrupting the lower and middle classes worldwide while driving their "green" stocks up. Plus, they get to profit from the fossil fuel stocks, too. It's almost like...insider trading!
Hint: This is massive consolidation of power in every sector of markets and society. The WEF thanks you for your cooperation.
Kind of a side note: There's at least 200 yrs of natural gas. Gee, I wonder why that hasn't gone anywhere even though it's been the best option for decades... almost like why nuclear plants aren't being built round the clock.... can't have cheap, easy, and clean energy. Hell, color me crazy, I guess that's why molten salt thorium reactors aren't even discussed. I guess then we'd have all the power in the world for hydrogen powered cars. Nope, nope, that doesn't make money selling trash green products.

TL;DR. Spent more tax dollars burying wind turbine blades in the landfill instead. Its renewable energy as long as you dont pay any attention to the actual details! Let the experts handle that, trust them ;^)
Although some of the philosophies touted here aren’t fully in line with mine, I do find the insights and eyes open mentalities refreshing.
Having been in government and in the field of environmental regulation and crimes investigation for the past 33 years, I can tell you all that you’re pretty much on-the-mark and I find the insight and the grasp of the reality of things refreshing.
Many of the realizations, observations and conclusions provided here many not be spot on, they are certainly accurate.
But the big question remains, can it be changed and, if so, how do we do that?

The ‘problem’ is all expansive and not limited to a single sector - therefore focusing on one area (environment, energy, politics, finance, medicine, etc) is akin to fighting the hydra. Kill one tentacle and another two take its place, and your 10 years older by the time your finished. Therefore, it seems to be necessary that focus is given to the entirety of “the problem” rather than just symptoms of it. The tentacles of the leviathan are wrapped around everyone and everything, so tightly and for so long that one would think that they are the Earth itself and unshakable. Many do not even realize they are there, and those that come to the terrified realization of them, feel powerless to do anything about them. How could one so small take on something so massive?
I do not know “the answer” per say. If I did, I would tell you. But I do know that the first step to any problem, and especially “the problem”, is acknowledging there is a problem in the first place, and then identifying what the problem is. Only than can the solution be sought. As simple as this may seem, nothing could be further from the truth. It is far too easy to label the symptoms as the problem itself, and seek solutions for the symptoms, all the while the problem continues to fester as a cancer. If you have an infection, you dont go to the doctor so they can tell you that you have an infection, and that the pain and fever needs to be reduced with medicine. You go so you can receive treatment and medicine to deal with the infection itself, not the symptoms of the infection. It is important, on this note, that the utmost care is taken to seek the PROBLEM itself, not the symptoms. Only then, can the treatment be prescribed.
We are still trying to get to step one; what is the problem? Until it can be fully identified, in its entirety, any speculations on a solution put forth will merely result in fighting the hydra.
My temporary solution to the gas issue, had it shipped from Corona, CA two weeks ago:
Not that I care about living, but that's a death sentence where I live. In fact, just last week a biker was super road kill on my road. No one stops at stop lights on the busy roads.
I was thinking more like a dune buggy. But I'd want one with nissan engine and 6 speed lol

Knowing that, maybe he shouldn't have been on the busy roads...
And the other real problem is the heat. It's nonstop upper 90s.
I don't obey any traffic laws on a bike. Traffic laws will get you killed on a bike. Every move I make is for self-preservation. Because literally everything else on the road wants to kill you, including my bike Lol
the .gov is fundamentally immoral. Arguing what the .gov does is like arguing what the thief does with your money after he robbed you. Every argument after that is useless/pointless.
The state must be dismantled. I have the answer for it's replacement.

There is no question that we, as people who have literally and figuratively fought and died for ideals, touted by those who pretend to represent us to be their ideals as well, are quite fu**ed in our current state and in our apparent continued willingness to allow ourselves to be manipulated, guided and essentially controlled in just about every aspect of daily life.
I have the answer for correcting this as well … but espousing will likely make me sound more insane than I already do.

Nothing insane about pew pewing tyrants. It's literally the most patriotic thing in the world. Before guns it was nooses.
Except for the $2,000 DPF that is dying. Thank goodness for the dieselgate warranty!
