I will have to research the video clip/date of video, but I seem to recall years ago, Obama made a statement that the only way to get away from fossil fuels would be when Americans can no longer afford gas!

Seems that maybe the current global situation was the opportunity to "never let a crisis go to waste"????

The foundation of prosperity in America has been 1) Protestant work ethic; 2) sound money (i.e. precious metals); 3) free markets (i.e. Austrian economics); and 4) cheap oil.

Hopefully you have moved most of your wealth out of dollar denominated assets into real assets* before now because the wheels are coming off of the US economy and it is NEVER going back to normal in your lifetime.

*Silver (Ag) is the cheapest real asset on the planet right now.

... he did, after all, say he was gonna shut down the fuel producing processes. I wonder how his "81 million votes" supporters are liking him now!

Soon many people will start taking the bus, and subway monorail to work. Our neighbor got these new cool electric bicycles, they just ride it down to Starbucks about three miles. We are thinking of buying a pair you pedal when you feel tired you just hit the electric button and it takes it from there. If you had to ride a bicycle to the store you want an electric one especially if you have to haul groceries or if you are in the country get a couple horses and buggy we can learn a lot from the Amish. This is Biden's America everything to put the hammer down the the regular man

They could sell it by the quart then they would't need new signs.

Local taxes (i.e., property taxes, sales tax, etc.) will substantially increase in the very near future for Americans! The local governments (police, fire, ems, public works, etc) all rely on fuel to do and the schools will need more money to offset the cost for electricity/heat!

The American middle class will soon be completely wiped out unless Americans put and end to this nonesense!

I'm in Everett, the sign said 4.99 and turned to 5.09 right before my very eyes as I was driving past!

It seems like once all fuel/gas becomes too expensive then everything in this country will come to a complete standstill.

I remember back in the '70"a, when the stations didn't, wouldn't or couldn't make the leap to dollars from cents they just started pricing it in half-gallons. I guess back then customers were smart enough to double that number to get the price.

Let’s see… wow man, like this is hard… $5.18 x 2 equals… like, dude, I don’t think we covered that in school! Class valedictorian speaks…

Does anyone else remember pulling up to the pump, getting $2.00 in fuel. Staying in your car while the attendant checked your oil & washed the windows?

# Sure do ! — oldschool 2022-05-28 23:49

And went and got your change if all you had was a $5.00

In High School I could get 5 gal for 2.00 even…A few weeks before I left for the Army it cost me 2.10..,I was glad to leave-couldnt afford to ride around anymore

Hooboy; yes. That must have been about 45 years ago, at least in my area at the time. Seattle.

I know That gas station well ! That was located just down the street from where I lived in Auburn back in the early nineties . Like Jay Leno's old joke now come to life ; "I pulled into a local gas station in my neighborhood yesterday . The sign read We take Cash , Visa , Mastercard and American Express . So I filled up and went in to pay . They took my Cash , my Visa , my Mastercard AND my American Express" !!!!!

Are there any reports in regards to a shortage of AV fuel at, say, smaller municipal airports? Just curious.

Many parcels of farmland near us have been sold to buyers from out of state who, according to rumor, are planning to escape from larger cities and fly in on personal aircraft, landing on their own property, when things go sideways. A shortage of AV fuel would cancel that.

Quoting 389rivka@gmail.com:

A shortage of AV fuel would cancel that.

It all depends on refinery's priorities. Depending on what refinery wants as the end product, the refining temperatures can be set to produce any combination of the finished hydrocarbons as in the chart below.

The problem now is not a specific shortage of one or another type of fuel, but the general shortage of the crude oil and for diesel specifically refineries converted since 2017 to make diesel out of biomass such as garbage, turkey fathers, fat and such, rather than the crude oil.

We already see where TPTB are distributing product as they see fit for their agenda…example - baby formulas. Some areas of the country have NO diesel, some have ONLY diesel. Coincidence?? Not a chance.

My question is in regards to availability of AV at smaller municipal airports vs larger regional/commercial airports. When our youngest daughter was training for her private pilot’s license, we hung out at the local airport and got an earful about how smaller municipal airports were treated like, they said, “ the red-headed step-son” , you know, disrespected and treated as an afterthought. And that was several years ago before CoVid, etc.

Yep. That's what ruined the State of Washington. I know from personal experience.

Californians are like a cancer. First, they leave commiefornia because it's become a living hell. Then, once settled in their new place of residence, they start doing the exact same things that trashed commiefornia to begin with, which forced them to move out, so their new place of residence ends up as trashed as commiefornia ever was, so they move again.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Maybe they should all be sent to mainland China. That would stop China for good...
