The oil companies have oil drilling leases that they aren't even using
.. and why do you suppose that is?.... we can frack here. It is more expensive, but in the end, we can be sustainable with American jobs backing it. But, instead.. we buy cheap OPEC oil. At one point last year, Brent crude and WTI oil hit negative -$38 a BRL..for a few hours during trading. Now, it's at ~$105 for Brent, and close on WTI.

You tell me, you keep hitting talking points but then supplying nothing? “How is your 401k” How about you explain why things are how they are rather than just hitting on headlines.
Well,.. this started out as the new gun bill, but escalated to economics. But.. personally, I think its all a chess game. Like, why would now be the perfect time to raise the Fed interest rate by 75+ basis points when we are already feeling the impacts of the economy? How is that "cooling things down"?.. It just don't make sense to me. It always seems like when we get prosperous, they fuck it up. Could be that we have ties with UKR in trade that they don't want fucked with. Otherwise, why would we send 40B to them? Could be a "reset" of the economy. IDK. We have plenty of oil supply here. It's beyond me why we don't just produce our own oil. I live near an area that has thousands of pump jacks shut down.. why? They could just start them back up and make crude, but they aren't. My wife used to work for a oil and gas company, and they get told what to do, and when to shut things down. ... again, this is all a political chess game. I just don't know who moves the pieces.

I would have it no other way!!! I just avoid the political threads. I'm old enough to remember when this was a free country. People just don't know what they are trying to give up.
Going back to the gun law. Most city folks don't know shit about guns. Our State outlawed "Bump Stocks" a few years ago. It's basically a rear stock with about an inch of slack so you can hold your finger hard against the trigger, and push forward with your fore grip and make it a FULL AUTO.. This can still be done at the hip by placing your thumb in a pant loop, and holding your trigger finger stiff. Push hard with the fore grip, and you can be full auto, and dump a 40 rd mag in about 6 seconds with a .223 or 7.62x.39. . Im sure the manufacturers are selling these mags like crazy before July 1st. I've tried it, and it works. There's too many high capacity round mags to prevent another mass shooting, but hey Joe.... good luck you stupid son of a bitch.

People shouold take a good close look at the countrys that have disarmed their people. Study history. The 2nd amendment wasn't put there so that you could hunt or protect yourself. At the time those things were assumed.

As hard as it is for people to understand it was to protect the people from the government.

You mean in April 2020, that is two years ago.

lol, hmmmm, what else happened at that point?

Screen Shot 2022-06-26 at 7.07.34 AM.png


also huge lol at your asking where you better off in 2018, like Trump and the Republicans did not oversee the largest loss of jobs in American history in 2020.

And as for the new gun bill. Passing the first major gun legislation in decades with bi-partisan support is a major accomplishment. So I can see why the trolls are flooding this thread pretending otherwise, while doing everything they can to shit talk Biden and his accomplishments.

I'd have to disagree.... to a point. I know many hated Trump because of his attitude. However, I think alot of people have changed their minds. .. not saying they want Trump back, but they want what we had under Trump back. 4% unemployment, no back to back mass shootings, a strong Dow, cheap fuel, cheap materials, no supply shortages, etc... it really was the best position our County had been in for a long, long while.
When tRump left office unemployment was 6.3%, and he is the only president since 1932-33 to have lost more jobs when he left, than when he started. Unemployment right now is 3.6%.
tRump also blackmailed Saudia Arabia into cutting oil production by 20 MILLION Barrels per day, or he was not going to send the weapons they bought. The deal on cutting oil production was to last from 2020-2022, and has not yet been brought back to prepandemic levels.
Inflation is happening worldwide. If you blame this on Biden, you dont know how things work in the world.
And its going to get worse. Just wait until theres no water out west to run the hydroelectric generators at Hoover dam. As it stands right now Hoover dam is operating at less the 66% capacity, and getting worse by the day. California farmers dont have enough water to irrigate crops, and they grow most of the food eaten in the USA. As of Feb 2022, the state of California said they will no longer deliver water to farmers because of the drought. The drought has been going on for 22 years, and has intensified in the last 3 years, and is staying the same course in 2022. This is the worst drought in California in 1200 years. The whole west is drying up. People are going to start wars over water. Africa is burning up. The middle east is burning up. Russia has stolen the wheat from one of the biggest wheat producers in the world.

The worst is yet to come.

marriage equality will be next.
"Marriage equality" is not about protecting any persons "rights". It's about equality of oppression being used to transform an actual right into a revokable privilege.

No people, gay, straight or whatever, should have to ask government for permission to marry or end a marriage.

Why gay people think they gain something by being equal to straight people in having to get licensed by a government agency to be married is a kind of mind fuckery that most pepole fall prey too when they don't assess what it is they are actually advocating for.

It's a symptom of beng fooled into thinking a government privilege is the same thing as a right. It isn't the same thing. Licensure is a form of captivity and micro enslavement.

No one represents us. Big tech pays politicians, media pays politicians, industrial war complex pays politicians, medical industry pays politicians. They all scratch each other back and cover for one another. No one representing the people. We need a fresh start. That will unfortunately have to come with a revolt and probably a lil chaos

I'm old enough to remember when this was a free country. P
The United States was never a free country though, it's always been a kind of free range slavery. What you are experienceing, is the shrinking of the fenced in "free range" area.

A country, politically speaking, can never be free as long as the occupants do not have the option of opting out of involuntary choices being placed on them by other people which violate their peaceful existent. The reason I say that is, it's true and self evident, not to chastise your sentiment for the good old days which were a matter of degrees "freer".
