The real REAL WoW killer

It is our own US oil companies that are gouging us. And they have a ton of unused oil rigs in the fields. Look at their profit line.

And, you could grow a garden. This rise in prices was known for a while. The concept or idea of a Victory Garden has a solid place in our history.

Or complain, I like that too.

I did some quick reading and found a few things.

  • "In February, 2020, U.S. oil fields generated around thirteen million barrels of crude a day; last month, they produced less than 11.9 million barrels a day.

  • “Exxon said that it intends to triple its purchases of its own stock from investors.” " The company announced it will spend up to thirty billion dollars on buybacks between now and the end of 2024."

  • Chevron said that it will devote ten billion dollars this year to buybacks, double its previous target.

  • “We are not adding any growth capital due to higher prices: we are staying disciplined,” Lee Tillman, the chief executive of Marathon, told Wall Street analysts last week.”

This is from a quick google search. But clearly, corporations whose entire plan is to make money no matter what, are never responsible for anything bad.

Let’s go back to blaming the poor for all our issues like good Americans.

I don’t know why those are your choices. Also, fascism, would be growing the government, stifling the abilities of the common person and entering into foreign wars for obvious selfish reasons… what current sitting president is doing this?

If you don’t want to vote for Trump that’s fine, don’t vote for him. But, anyone is better than Biden at this point. He’s an absolute train-wreck of a president. I’d vote for a Sanders or DeSantis over this guy.

There is 9000 permits that they can drill at. So maybe those gas companies just need to get to work?

Because its never poor government policy to blame is it?

Housing prices have nothing to do with incredibly obnoxious zoning and permiting laws.

Nope all evil corporations.

Oil prices have nothing to do with negotiated foreign policy to punish foreign governments, on top of hostile domestic policy to the oil and gas sector.

Nope all evil corporations.

If my eyes rolled any harder i would risk blindness.

You really should read up on the permitting process before you comment on it like a facebook meme

Reality is first person perspective, your reality is just that, yours. And nothing I say will convince you otherwise, so I won’t even try even if you believe HE is responsible for the gas prices or the Earth is flat.

You’ll have to come up with some examples how he’s a racist and how he wants to force his religious views on society.

I’m all ears. I’ll wait for you to link me a great salon article.

Where did I say the government bears no responsibility? And thanks for proving my point where you purposefully glance over any actions corporations have over problems.

Politicians are in the pockets of the corporations. They’re one in the same and responsible. Keep licking that :boot: though.

And?? There are plenty alternatives but you didn’t think about that either did you?

:hugs: Some people just dont’ think outside the box. My sweet husband is self employed building contractor and needs that truck he drives. Luckily lately he hasn’t had to drive far for his jobs and my state is one of the lowest fuel prices atm.

WoW is so insanely cheap for the entertainment value it provides.

If $15 per month is make or break for your situation there are other problems.

Would it blow your mind to know that some people can be critical of both sides, without demonizing either of them?
