    Can you please tell that Biden to stop emptying our shelves in Australia, as well.

    I contracted mine for $1.649/gallon... It's definitely nice to offset that cost with burning firewood.

    I looked up the average spot price in my state. It’s $1.98/gal. Did you contact over the summer or this fall? My furnace (propane) hasn’t run for so many years I can’t remember the last time. I buy a little every couple years to run a stock tank heater so I’m out of the loop on prices. I agree wood is the economical choice. Plus, I couldn’t live without a wood stove. When you come in from the cold and snow it’s such a great feeling to have that heat source to warm you up quickly.

    And when they do they'll lash out at everyone around them and scream "RACISM!!!" and "FASCISM!!!" as they always do instead of developing the two character traits "progressives" lack - introspection and humility.
    and called the democrats narcissistic.

    IMO a perspective which involves Trump should be introduced here.
    You can say what you will about Trump but he can NEVER be accused of having introspection and humility.

    I agree.
    If you are blaming a government for shortages, perhaps you should take into account that people have been ill in their millions and that it was Biden who got the vaccination programme off the ground. Trump denied Covid existed.

    $4.79 a gallon here.

    We sell it here at the store I work at, I am one of the guys that fills the tanks.

    Though I can't say I've never had anyone buy it by the gallon we sell it by the pound and it's a dollar 20 lb tank 30 lb tank 40 lb tank and 100 lb tanks.

    Need propane at 3:00 a.m.? I can make it happen!

    Operation Warp Speed (OWS) was a public–private partnership initiated by the United States government to facilitate and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics.[1][2] The first news report of Operation Warp Speed was on April 29, 2020,[3][4][5] and the program was officially announced on May 15, 2020.[1] It was headed by Moncef Slaoui from May 2020 to January 2021 and by David A. Kessler from January to February 2021.[6] At the end of February 2021, Operation Warp Speed was transferred into the responsibilities of the White House COVID-19 Response Team.[7] WIKI

    Biden was inaugurated in January 2021.
    The programme was transferred from private to state control a month after Biden was sworn in. It was developed PRIVATELY while Trump was in office, albeit with some government funding.

    "Trump had no such revelation. Instead, in the weeks since his illness, he has escalated from downplaying or neglecting the virus to outright denialism. After returning to the White House and sanctimoniously removing his mask, he has centered his reelection campaign around the notion that the pandemic is over. “With the fake news, everything is COVID, COVID, COVID,” he said at an Omaha, Nebraska, rally this week. “I had it. Here I am, right?” He cited the illness of his son Barron—who contracted the virus shortly after his father tested positive—as being extremely mild. He did not mention the first lady, Melania, who described having COVID-19 as “a rollercoaster of symptoms,” the experience of which “gives you a lot of time to reflect” and reminded her of the need for “compassion and humility.”
    Now Trump has taken to mocking social distancing and pushing a conspiracy theory wherein the basic facts of people dying are an attempt to hurt him. He has accused doctors of exaggerating the disease, and vilified them as enemies in his crusade to return to “normal,” even as the daily death toll has topped 1,000 people in recent days."
    https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/10/trump-covid-denial/616946/

    Please note the date of the article and th at the author speaks of "now". October 2020 was the same time as your Operation Warp Speed. So it seems that while his government was supporting research into vaccine efficacy, Trump was denying the virus was anything to worry about an hinted it was some kind of "conspiracy".

    I don't find anything in his remarks that support his denying Covid is dangerous.

    For a summary of his remarks about the seriousness of Covid gthroughçut 2020, please refer to:

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...irus-science-denial-timeline-what-has-he-said


    "As the US passed another somber landmark, with more than 150,000 confirmed deaths from Covid-19, the grim toll stands in stark contrast to Donald Trump’s repeated promise that under his leadership the disease would simply disappear."

    Trump had been denying Covid was serious all through 2020 until Biden became POTUS in January 2021.

    Nor is it a political problem.
    What politician would deliberately starve or greatly inconvenience their population and get away with it? Congress on both sides would never allow it!

    Trump never said that the covid itself was a hoax and you giving Biden the credit for the vaccine... . Both of these are absurdly false claims now you can post a wall of text all you want but you can't change the facts.

    Then find the facts that tell us Trump cared a lot about the virus and did even more to protect the population.
    Just saying he did doesn't make it so.
    I'll wait.

    "NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — President Donald Trump accused Democrats of “politicizing” the deadly coronavirus during a campaign rally here on Friday, claiming that the outbreak is “their new hoax” as he continued to downplay the risk in the U.S."

    https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/trump-and-the-new-hoax/

    Clarifies the issue AFAIAC.

    BTW I didn't give Biden the credit for the vaccine. I gave him credit for explaining the seriousness of the pandemic.

    You can keep waiting all you want here in the USA we are aware of when the vaccine came out.

    And I'll wait right here for you to prove that he said covid was a hoax.... Not the reaction to covid but what you claimed he said.

    When reverse searching the photos I found one is from ebay 2015 cabinet for under $3000 and another from a Walmart in 2018. Nicely done.

    No, I didn't see the point in going further.

    I was not discussing "when the vaccine came out".
    I am referring to Trump's initial reaction to the virus.
    I said he dismissed it as not important. It will go away all by itself. It wasn't worth getting worried about. Too much attention was given to it. My references to his rally addresses prove it.
    I am not going to get into whether what he said about hoaxes. You mentioned it as yet another sideroad and I replied but I never suggested he said it was a hoax.

    He repeatedly said "it will go away".

    https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2020/10/politics/covid-disappearing-trump-comment-tracker/

    COVID does not go away. It is here in reality for as long as we know.
    Trump denied what we understand to be COVID, existed.
    He denied it was serious. He used his own recovery to try to prove COVID was not serious.
    I repeat. He denied what we know (and knew) as COVID existed.

    Is that more clear?

    Words have meanings and those meanings matter.

    When you said he denied it existed that means he denied it existed.

    Which he never did.

    I suggest you learn meaning of words then.
    COVID Is a specific disease. It has specific characteristics including that IT WILL NOT GO AWAY in the manner in which he said it would. Or indeed in any other manner. It may be reduced but not eliminated.
    He said what we know (and knew) as COVID did not exist.
    COVID IS NOT UNIMORTANT just because he survived it. He indicated it was by conspicuously removing his mask when he returned to the WH after his infection. He denied what we know (and knew) as Covid existed.

    Now I have no more time to spend on explaining English to you. You could do better by reading more. Practise makes perfect and it removes the difficulties you seem to have in doing it.

    I suggest you learn the meaning of the word honesty.

    I suggest you learn the meaning of the words I was wrong I was mistaken....

    Learn the meaning of I made a false statement.

    You straight up told a lie and you don't have the humility to simply admit it when you got called out.

    Instead you'll try to insult me that's really grown up.

    Now twist and squirm some more and run away.

    The person who needs to brush up on English would be you.

    When someone says Trump denied covid existed..... That means he denied it existed.

    There's another word we have in English for something like that when someone makes a statement like that we call that a lie.

    For starters the virus was designed to target and mutate. The only way it will be thwarted will be from natual antibodies IE survived by us all.. Does the vaccine reduce the chance of death, who knows? Since there has never been any sort of effort to test for natual immunities how are we to know if the vaccine saved anyone, or IF it was simply natural immune systems that saved most folks.. Why is it the younger and strong have a much greater chance of not even showing symptoms!

    Clearly a strong immune system is the best medicine, far better than an experimental vaccine that must be administered several time in a very short period of time, "Hardly like any vaccines we have taken in the past", again a clear sign of genetic targeting!

    It's a sad but blaring fact that this man made virus was designed to attack old and weak immune humans while the young with strong immune systems have very little chance of dying from it...

    Chineses evolution acceleration experiment gone real bad ;) Of course Fauci would say, "Preventative experiments to prepare for" SOMETHING that would never happen under normal earths conditions..

    They haven't .380 jacketed-hollow point ammo at Big 5 stores in nearly a year (just about the time that 'Geriatric Joe' and Comrade Kamala took over). It's gotten to be damn hard to find .357-magnum, too. I'm sure, though, that as far as firearms and ammo are concerned that shortages are due less to 'supply-chain' issues as they are to the fact that more and more Americans feel LESS AND LESS SAFE in our country any more....
