Have we officially become a banana republic?

Best economy ever, building a border wall, new trade deals, no wars.

But, but, but.... mean tweets...

Nope. Just an asshole. Simple. Has zero to do with his “politics”.

And I don’t think a leopard can change their spots ...your boy was a Dem and HUGE supporter of the Clintons ...now he’s Mr Conservative? Ok. I got this prime property in Arizona with ocean views I’d like to sell you also.

Sounds like it's actually a bit about his past politics to you... which contradicts some of what you said (2 things actually, but whatever)

Never knew he changed parties, interesting.

Oil/gas prices go up Every Summer. They know we are gonna be traveling and will pay whatever. There’s no politics involved...it’s just how the Oil Barons govern us serfs.

We don’t Have to buy foreign oil...we choose to. Between our own and the Tar Sands ..there’s more domestic oil than in the Mid East. But ...Big Oil can’t rape us for that. So ..we buy foreign oil. Then “they” can blame OPEC or taxes or fake computer hacks for the higher price.

Oil is trading worldwide on commodity exchanges. It isn't cheaper from the Middle East and then marked up or whatever it is you are trying to say.

What can cause a spike price is when supply is hindered.

Sounds like what I said.

Well, if $2.99 is the average then unless everybody is at that price some must be over $3. Also, most of us would round up and say $2.99 gas is $3/gallon.

[Greg]

Right. As Blah posted ..there are some stations gouging people for $3+ but most I’ve seen ...between $2.89-$3.00.

How is it gouging? LOL. The difference is likely due to things like labor, rent, and other costs being higher in certain areas.

Have you ever eaten at a diner in NYC and then compared its prices to one in central Jersey? Is the NYC diner gouging or charging more because the rent is higher, the employees make more because their rent is higher, food and other supply costs are higher, etc. Not to mention taxes.

So you have never changed a political view? Some people learn and grow.

Do you actually ask? Pa gas is well over 3.00 a gallon.

Also your boy Joe doesn't want to mine for rare earth which is abundant here and killed oil and natural gas leases

Did PA gas ever drop below $3 a gallon? That state is the epitome of price gouging around here.

That is dumb. Basically ceding tech manufacturing to China.

Gas in PA has been over $3. for over a month now. Gas has always been around .30 more here than MD for years because of the state tax increase. But lately it's only a .15 difference. Did MD increase their gas tax or are they gouging .?

Greg ...having read your posts....I seriously doubt you’ve ever changed your political views. Same with most of the conservatives here.

As for myself...yes I’ve changed views. Away from hardline conservatives to way more libertarian views. To me Both sides are too extreme.
