Why are you paying an exorbitant amount of money for fuels?

I think this is really about power. The political kind. Democrats want to, like China, be the dispensers of power/electric or otherwise. If they can force you to rely on electricity, they can RATION it whenever they want. The model is clear. Energy and power are the goals of this massive rearchitecture of the economy, and will place the power to control travel, just like it's done in China today. This is just one of the levers progressive democrats are trying to take over.

 

It used to be unconscionable in this country to see government dictate what the economy must do. And now, everywhere we look, democrats are forcing slow downs, enforcing arbitrary shortages, rationing resources, etc. Why? Folks were ignoring them. No one wants democrats in control of any aspect of the economy. They literally destroy everything the touch. The can't even make the force of government work for them. And yet, it's literally all democrats yearn for. To destroy everything.

 

Nope… I live on a farm… I use my 4 wheel daily…. There are not to many friends around me who do not own a 4 wheel because they USE them in their daily lives….. See where I’m a coming from??? City slickers telling the country boys to just figure out something else to doing their farming and hauling just ain’t gonna get it.

 

Democrats want to manage your life.
Republicans want you to manage your life.

I can't name any issue Democrats favor that is not putting them in charge of your life in some form.
You get sick? They want to manage that.
You want to pay lower taxes?
Republicans will help you on that.

 

I might be mistaken but I believe the Prius quip was to others.
I am the last person trying to force you to live life other than precisely how you want to live it. Carry on.

 

OK to the error, BTW, I have zero intention to purchase or drive an electric car currently and in the near future.

 

When they learn an act hurts America, that is their path. Every damned time on all issues.

 

Prices are going up all over the world not just the USA, THE PRICE OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS HAS RISEN 800% SO FAR THIS YEAR AND THE SHIPPING CHARGE HAS ALSO RISEN. Gas and oil prices are up world wide, as are shortages.

 

The problem with biden is even though he’s doing this I bet he had. Plans to add more charging station. The man is an idiot

 

Clearly democrats failed in the "scope and ramifications" of their little temper tantrum, huh....

 

I am not against the electric car. I was predicting them as the future way back in 1957. That is still my view. I expected it much sooner. But not by forcing all to use them. My idea was based on the use of water. Which still is my idea.
The fuel cell in other words.

Take the common need to chop down a tree.
We can choose to saw them down by hand.
We can saw them down using gasoline in the chain saw.
We can saw them down using an electric chain saw.

So what will you use if you are 15 miles into the woods where you have nothing to plug into?
A gas powered Generator?
Wait, you will carry into the woods a good sized solar panel when it is pretty cloudy?

 

I just do not know how to buy world wide here in Idaho.
I buy locally except when using Amazon.com.

 

No disrespect intended…. I truly don’t know much about electric cars and honestly don’t know if there is an electric 4 wheel truck. If there isn’t then that is a problem.

 

Then you don’t understand how the price of oil works. Congrats.

 

Global prices for fuel is not sky high.
Some still have the same super low prices they have long had.

Wait…you think the pipeline that hadn’t been built yet had an impact of current day gas prices? Hahahahaha
Regarding the world…the price of oil per barrel isn’t different for each country. Hence why the world is part of the price of oil.

 

Say you can buy drugs from Canada cheaper. But Biden shuts down Canada.
See what Biden did to prices by shutting down Canadas pipes?

Come to think about it. I believe Trump also for the first time let us buy drugs from Canada too.

Trump Approves Final Plan to Import Drugs From Canada ‘for a Fraction of the Price’

Moving of goal post duly noted

 

So when you say the world sets prices, you were telling us a joke?
Why do you think Biden killed our deal with Canada? To get us more petroleum?

Actually the price per bbl varies according to country that also has domestic supplies of it's own.

 

I was on my knees praying Biden would lose.
As you explain, elect Democrats when you want to be ruled.
You have one and he rules.

Worse he has the appearance of having Alzheimer's.

Trump for instance fought big pharma by his law allowing Canada to sell us cheap drugs. And that is also why he wanted the Canadian pipeline. To save you and me a lot of money.

 

Trying to add information on products from Canada. And you moved them to the globe and I was not liking that at all.

 

I never said the world sets the price per barrel. Now you’re just being disingenuous. If you decide you want to be honest I’ll continue otherwise screw

 

Because of gas and diesel prices everything is shipped to the store that then hikes up prices to pay for shipping.

In 1964 I fed my family of 4 then for about $20 per week and had many bags of food.
