Re: Inflation be Damned

Gasoline (and by extension everything) is expensive in western countries and it should be because this is somehow going to save the planet, right? Absolutely. At least you're honest about this. I was comiserating with a patient about gas prices. I said, "Well I guess people got what they voted for....

Re: Inflation be Damned

Gas was going up well before this war started. This war is becoming the scape goat for Biden's failed economic and energy policies. It might even help them keep working class votes they wete going to lose. I thought using Covid to push through cheat by mail was genius. If this war wins Dems control ...

Re: Inflation be Damned

Gasoline prices in Germany are equivalent to nearly $8/gallon. (About 1.80€/Liter, @ 1.09 USD/EUR and 3.8 L/gal.) This is up a bit but not drastically more than it has been for many years. Gasoline is heavily taxed in most of Europe. It's kind of like how alcohol is in the US. And how much further ...

Re: Inflation be Damned

Isolationism ultimately causes more war, less trade and economic growth. Shamimg American Imperialism has left a vacuum of power filled by Afghan barbarians, KGB thugs, and the Chinese communist party. Biden's stimlus caused the hidden tax of inflation. Global Warmimng alarmism has produced not just...

Re: Inflation by Damned

Only people who don't have money worry about money like you do. I'm just pointing out that Democrat fiscal and foreign policy ultimately hurts the poor and working class far more than it does the rich. I'm not sure you understand that yet even though you can't help but see and know it every day.

Re: Inflation by Damned

We'll drive less just like we did during the freaking gas shortages and rationing in the 70's.
Jimmy Carter 2.0. You're also going to pay more for everything. Even the liberal farmer I saw yesterday understands you can't run a tractor on $5/gallon.

Re: Inflation by Damned

"Forced to buy oil from Russia." I've already debunked his idiotic claim in a previous thread, but he's hell bent on propagating whatever Brietbart tells him. The fact is we import very little oil from Russia and we're hardly "forced" into doing it. Kind of hard for the sanctions to be very effecti...

Re: Inflation by Damned

We do, huh? So if you're not buying green energy now, who is? In the meantime, how does the green energy company not go bankrupt? Would you agree with K Graham that we'll all be driving electric cars in 10 years? I never said we'll all be driving them. I said they will take over the market. I learn...

Re: Inflation by Damned

Europe has invested expoentially more in green energy than the US. So far all that has done is make them dependent on Russian fossil fuels. Where's the comparative advantage in that? You can't change basic science no matter how much money you throw at a problem. Things are changing. Europe is actual...

Re: Inflation by Damned

How much did you any of you invest in green energy alternatives to fossil fuels?
