If you were still on the fence about Omicron being created/used specifically because the people behind Biden were worried about gas prices {Go Deep}, you can quit the straddle.
Energy inflation overall, and gasoline inflation specifically, is the Build Back Better communists’ Achilles heel. The Biden administration is ideologically committed to climate change policy and as a result they have no supply-side tools to stop gasoline prices from necessarily skyrocketing. They desperately need the fear of Omicron to shut down the demand side.
Ten days ago the communists said they were releasing 55 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve {Go Deep}, approximately a three day supply of oil given the current level of demand. Today the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) laughably claim victory over a two cent drop in gasoline price. Worse still is the gaslighting graph they use to show a downward trajectory on price:
The Y-axis is in increments of half a cent. The X-axis is showing six days of impact.
Yes, gasoline fell from $3.39/gal to $3.38/gal in the six days after the strategic petroleum reserve release. We are spared a single penny per gallon in gas price.
Even the leftist media recognize this type of propaganda only makes Democrats look more stupid. A longer review of the Joe Biden price for Gasoline puts that six day Democrat graph into perspective:
Knuckleheads….
All communists are knuckleheads.
That said, what this insufferable effort highlights is how much emphasis the Democrats are putting toward trying desperately to get away from the problem of inflation.
All of Biden energy policy, and all of Biden’s spending around the Build Back Better agenda, is designed to take us from where we are now into some distant place where fossil fuels are not the energy mechanism; that’s the Green New Deal component of this. However, there is no policy for their transition – they stopped all current energy policy around oil and coal.
Biden halted pipelines, cancelled oil and gas leases, blocked expanded refinery capacity and regulated the entire U.S. oil industry into a place of diminished capacity. That is why energy prices have, as Obama promised, “necessarily skyrocketed.” And, we ain’t seen nothing yet. Depending on how cold it is this winter, you can expect natural gas and home heating oil to double in the next few months.
The near horizon looks pretty clear. Gasoline will keep rising fast and will cost $6 to $7/gal before next spring. There is no way under current Joe Biden policy to avoid this, unless he was to completely abandon his energy policy; that’s not likely. The climate change ideologues, academics and far-left communists behind the Biden policy are not likely to see the catastrophic economic damage as a bad thing, instead they will likely say it’s the new normal.
With that level of supply side economic chaos seemingly unavoidable, the only way for Biden to try and mitigate political damage is an attempt to halt the demand side. That’s why the administration needs Omicron.
It is more important for our government to use Omicron than all other governments because we are the spending and ideological center. That is why we are seeing a much bigger emphasis upon the fear of Omicron by our government; and that is why the descending levels of variant emphasis/fear fall in line depending on how closely other nations are aligned as allies.
Meanwhile… China, Iran and Russia (adversaries on an ideological level) know what is happening, and to the extent they can drive U.S. inflation even higher, they will. Our adversaries know how to use Biden’s policy to make massive inflation hurt the U.S. disproportionately. This is why OPEC is giving Biden the middle finger on his ‘request’ to increase oil production, and this is why China is now triggering shipping quarantines. (more)
Again, as repeated previously, our window to prepare for a massive jump in inflation is slowly closing. We are down to around 60 days, and then things will get really ugly. The people behind Joe Biden know this. Omicron is a tool they are attempting to use to moderate the speed of impact within the inflation window.
American Pravda to the rescue.
There’s only so much they (media) can do haha. I hate laughing because we are all affected but we knew this going in. We knew it was going to be hell thanks to the normies (sheep) but we must trudge ahead along with them. Maybe even pretending to be a grazer at times. The hardcore leftists don’t spend anytime worrying about them, but the sheep need to be turned. Things like extremely high gas prices will correct them. We can’t have an insurgency (peaceful of course) until we have the populace behind us. Patience friends I think we will also have some other folks (Americans) on our side as well.
Once again I find myself in agreement, luke.
Biden may finally unite the country, in opposition to him and his policies.
I suspect there are less and less “common folk” who will argue in defence of Brandon or his policies, every day.
UNITY, is what is needed, to defeat the Conmunists, which is why they expend so much effort, sewing disunity.
So yes, the schedenfrude IS deliscious, and even if it seems like we are cheering the damage to our Republic, its necesary like cutting out a cancerous tumor.
The problem is that we have had China Joe on the ropes twice and both times Cocaine Mitch has bailed his sorry ass out. It doesn’t matter that the majority of Americans are against China Joe, the Rinos will always bail him out.
Because they are uni-party. Not RINOs, uniparty. I think we all need to start driving that point home to people. Start getting those not in tune familiar with there is a group from both sides, the uniparty, that is working to undermine the American electorate. And, these people are the green new deal globalist cabal or simply put- the current day commies.
I keep praying for God to send a wake-up call for our country. I pray this is enough. The ramifications of just the high gas prices alone will cause such an increase in the price of everything. I keep stocking up on everything. I think Americans will awaken — our problem is our idiots in D.C. who keep spending money like there is no tomorrow. The realization that our so-called “representatives” in Congress are only representing themselves and not the good of the country as a whole might finally sink in. I pray it’s not too late.
Inflation is racist. Biden shut down travel from Black countries so he could blame them for the variant so gas prices would be held in check so he could look good.
Remember that when Biden was talking about growing up with blacks he said “I learned about roaches…” But Blacks voted for him anyways. Remember back when they promoted White boxers as “The great White hope”? Biden is the Great White Fool” of politics. Yes, Blacks voted for this dude.
As a black man you are correct. I have a lot of family and friends that voted for this fool. I would love to see a man on the street of every racist quote from Biden being asked to blacks and lily white liberals. I know they wouldn’t know or want to admit that he said it.
That infuriated me when he called sweet little Black children “roaches.” How dare any human call another a “roach.” He is a vile and evil little man. Biden worries about “White nationalists” and “White racist domestic extremists” because he is BOTH. Projection is a Demonrat art form.
America is dead. Not even 10 Trumps can bring it back. USA are destabilized, subverted by pro Beijing interests, the media, fake news, racial violence & cultural Marxism pushed in public schools.
I sadly agree with you. All this crap is so deeply entrenched we are lost. The stolen election was the coup de grâce.
I think Obamacare was and not one word from the media about the endless lies from him either.
Big assists from the Liar Fauci whenever needed also and the Criminals at the CDC/NIH and hospital Admins/complicit Fauci MD types….
URGENT, contact your Senators over bill H. R. 550 (Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2021)
Tell them about your concerns over the incentives that will be given in lieu of health departments, etc, peddling the vaccine. Also tell them that this could cost people jobs based on their vaccine status, and that it is discriminatory against disabled people as well as those who’s religion prohibits the use of vaccines made with aborted baby parts (all covid vaccines are, don’t believe otherwise.)
IF YOU ARE IN A BLUE STATE! Contact R senators (or D ones who have been sympathetic to R issues) outside your state. There is nothing preventing you from doing so on a federal issue.
I know many here don’t believe in political activism and considering the RINOs in charge and their history, I don’t blame you. But please, at least try on this.
TY its always good to inform the aide you are speaking with. Always be polite, friendly, and give them great websites & info. At the very least the aides will know and know if the comrade they are working for is a pos or not
Rand is my Senator so optimistic he gets it. I will, however, contact him post haste. I generally don’t bother with Bejing Mitch, but I may rattle his cage too
I would like to contact other Republican Senators in other states, but the Senators’ webforms will not allow people from outside their state from being able to contact them. You can call and leave a message on their Senate telephone number, but they get so many calls through those numbers that it is a really, really long wait and often the call gets dropped. My state has two Republican Senators, but both of them pushed that infrastructure bill and both of them just now voted to keep the government running without getting one single thing in return and it included more billions for Afghan refugees. I feel soooooooooo sick about not having even one Senator who stands up for Republicans or for taxpayers.
Just pick a zip code from the State whose Senator(s) you want to remind.
If they can be devious…..use the left’s playbook.
Yes!
“If we could have and didn’t, God will hold still hold us accountable.”
For those who still believe religion and politics don’t mix, think again.

Idiot Biden has never had to pay for gas. He is clueless. Again he wants everyone to get rid of their gasoline vehicles and go all electric. Ask him about the price of replacing the battery when it dies . Does he ride in an electric limo? He is a true libtard
Joe Biden is a net gas producer. Just ask the Duchess of Cornwall.
I wonder if he buys carbon credits, to offset his foul emissions,…and from WHOM?
I suspect he has no idea where electricity comes from….other than “out of the wall”.
Q. “Does he ride in an electric limo?”
A. No, but if he did, I wish he would lick the battery as he stands barefoot in a puddle of water 🙏
Yes, they want to abandon carbon fuels. They want electric cars (starting at close to $65k for base models) for everyone.
All the while they handcuff our energy production by killing coal and nat gas power production via regulation. Meanwhile the over burdened licensing process thus high cost (billions) startup buold cost for nuke plants has prevented them from being built. only one since the 80s (Vogtle 3/4 being built now).
Nukes are base load. They are being forced closed. People have seen nothing yet. Its why cali has rilling black outs. As more nukes close- we will be in even more trouble. Wind and solar will never replace that base load, never.
They are idiots. They think we all are too. Fortunately not all are and CTH has shown me that.
Leftists think electric vehicles are the perfect thing to save the planet. Plug-n-play and all. Yet few if any realize all the “carbon” it takes to make each vehicle, or keep it moving down the road.
Raven,
I believe they are pushing electric fleets for a few reasons:
It’s a status symbol- look at me, look at my virtue signalling- look see, I care.
It’s a status symbol- as I mentioned, base models start at 65k a year- only certain people can afford these.
They want only a certain segment of society driving. They want the rest on mass transportation.
They all invested in green technologies. Technologies they are forcing our government to fund via regulations and laws. For example- all-electric vehicle fleets. Now required via law. This leads to contracts with companies. Thus those in the know can then buy stocks in those companies before deals are announced.
Pelosi Bought $1 Million In Tesla Stock Days Before The Biden Administration Released Plans On Buying 645,000 Electric Vehicles (welovetrump.com)
Nancy Pelosi buys 1 Million in Telsa days before Biden announces Government contract with Tesla. – The Oregon Conservative
And for any liberals who browse through these pages, here’s a very progressive news outlet reporting the same thing:
Nancy Pelosi Buys Tesla Calls, Stands To Benefit From New Biden EV Plan (yahoo.com)
We have friends who live just up the road. They built a very cool looking wood-burning truck. They’re the same people who keep building little out buildings to “store stuff,” that will be converted to homes once the world goes full-on crazy.
Once electricity is no longer available, they’ll be the only ones virtue signaling, but their virtue will be real.
Wow, our “elected” officials are nothing but criminals.
Wow. I am so going to look into that wood burning truck. I was wondering what to do with my 5 acres of worthless oak trees….
I call them, “ I’m better than you cars.”
I’m sorry for a large number of typos- I typed that on my phone and just am now reading on my laptop.
Well said.
Some stations are just a penny shy of $6/gallon in Los Angeles. JoeBama did that.
Intentionally at his Soviet master’s bidding. He’s a walking cadaver.
Just think based on this chart he shared if it wasn’t for Joe, you already would ve at $6. Instead you are at $5.99. See, savings.
All those pennies saved. Now I can buy that Bentley, I always wanted.
Well, you really can’t hide money. Damn, I’d be happy with cheese on my burger once a week, but don’t really want to seem like I’m showing off or something either.
I think we’re all Bentleyed at this point.
Oh. I thought Biden told us all to get bent.
Now I can afford the chicken wings I am eating because every other meat product is too damned expensive
Not hit Germany yet, down the Neuburg slaughterhouse prime pork halves sell at about 1.4€ per Kilo. Under one $ per pound.
I just bought half a lamb, 44 kilos, at 6€ per kilo without skin, head, organs or feet.
Ribeye can be found at 12€ per kilo, rarely 10. That would be about 8$ per pound.
You can’t buy that Bentley because it’s not electric. Rather, now you can afford that Tesla.
Yes, previously I mentioned the 65k price tag for UEV’s or EV’s (electric utility vehicle or electric vehicle) while understanding that you can Google EV’s and EUV’s and find examples ranging from 33k-45k (the “affordable” ones). But, when you research further you find out that your options are limited to cars such as the Chevy Volt, the Nissan Leaf, the Kia Niro, and other pint-size vehicles.
If you want a car that a family of four or five can travel in comfortably for long distances (those models I mention don’t typically have long-range capability) you will be paying over 70k.
I know a family with a two year old and a Tesla. Stopping for a hour or more is a real pain in the ass, especially in cold or sort of warm always windy WY.
“Joe, empty your Strategic Petroleum Reserves at once. It offends me.”
“Yes, Mr. President. And I could also name an aircraft carrier after you, sir.”
“That won’t be necessary, Joe. Especially after you drain the Reserve.”
This is so pathetic. Even for the left who once said the President can’t do much about gas prices.
When you consider that Al Gore, Michael Bloomberg, Larry Fink, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom and Chuck Schumer along with Goldman Sachs, Vanguard and Blackrock are all heavily invested to the tune of billions of dollars in green energy stocks. Pushing investment in stocks like Tesla is actually criminal using their official positions in government to make themselves even wealthier than they already are!
Goldman Sachs owns the Global Warming carbon tax racket.
That graph is indeed hilarious. Scraping for any news WHATSOEVER that could be interpreted as “not terrible”.
Well, I already know what I’m gonna do with my $.02 per gallon savings! Yup… that’s right… it’s Candy Cane season, folks, and I got my eye on a certain 12-pack at Walgreens.
Ahhh… Omicron, Omicron, Omicron… classic Genesis, anyone?
Look up on the wall, there on the floor
Under the pillow, behind the door
There’s a crack in the mirror
Somewhere there’s a hole in a window pane
Do you think Xi’s to blame?
Tell me, do you think Xi’s to blame?
‘Cuz Joe’s never there
(When he mumbles) he just stops and stares
(Omicron) Brandon’s everywhere
(Omicron)
With regard to the graph–someone in the inner circle had to come up with the idea– “Hey! If we blow the graph way up and just isolate this one little tag end (eliminating the context) we can prove that we have beaten inflation…” and a bunch of others said, “That’s a good idea. Do it.”
Just pathetic and sickening.
This graph does not indicate that gas prices are falling so much as it demonstrates that charts and graphs can be used to Illustrate nearly any conclusion that the author desires.
Omicron (Persei 8)?
A difference of only 1¢ in the price ($3.39-$3.38) or about .3% over six days is not likely to be attributable to the release from the SPR at all. Basically noise in the signal, or even null.
Easier to track how winter driving habits affects demand and the pricing accordingly.
” Gasoline will keep rising fast and will cost $6 to $7/gal before next spring. ” “
That would literally be double in price in no more than just over 3 1/2 months. I don’t think even the democrats can screw things up that much in that short a time left for them to do it. We don’t want to make them look good by contrast if it ‘only’ goes to $5, which would be plenty bad enough, by that time.
“screw things up”
Keep in mind: this is all intentional. They’ll find a way… take out some refineries if they have to… whatever it takes to Build Better Bankruptcy.
Don’t ever underestimate the left’s ability to screw something up, quickly and with catastrophic effects…
Reminds me of “whoever coined the term “foolproof” grossly underestimates the creativity and ingenuity of fools.”
offcoarsenation;
given Sundances long track record of being “spot on” in his observations of economic matters, I wouldn’t question his estimates, I’d start planning.
And, its already $5/gal in Cal, and Cal is the Beta test, for the nation, at least thats how THEY see it.
“…given Sundances long track record…I’d start planning.”
Ditto.
Sundance started at 120 days. The sky is falling, and Sundance isn’t Henny Penny, that’s for sure.
SD is smart and has good foresight. IMO, the 120 days was to get past the holidays. Because, as we can see, the cabal will do anything to ensure people feel the holiday season will not have issues…anything, including this insane graph being blown up and misrepresented.
Lumber doubled in a similar window. Electrical cable went up 400% in a shorter time frame. Fertilizer is up how much?
These are evil creatures. Look around you. Somebody you know Will push you in the showers and turn on the gas.
Not if you shoot first…
Gasoline already costs ~$6.00 in California. Why would $7.00 be an unlikely scenario 90 days from now?
Let’s call it what it really is: O’Bidencron.
FJB! And all his policies.
My gas is $3.49- where are these prices they speak of? 🤦🏼♀️
California for one, My wife went down to Roseville for a visit over the last four weeks and it was at $5 plus for regular.
Sorry- it was a typo- my gas is $4.49, I’m also in Cali. That’s why I was asking about the 3 dollar prices. A tank of gas is a treasure to me.
My petrol is $4.89. Where o’ where is the price spoken of by the Admin?
Costco in Arizona $3.49 but it costs me too much in gas to get there. Where I live it’s about 4.29 for regular.
My gas is 4.49. It was a typo on my part. I wish I had $3.50 gas 💯
Time to make the popcorn and pull up a chair. Tonight’s feature; “The Epic Results.”
This ends when the bastards driving economy to ground gut the fish.
“Again, as repeated previously, our window to prepare for a massive jump in inflation is slowly closing. We are down to around 60 days, and then things will get really ugly.”
I’ve been taking Sundance’s warnings seriously about where we were heading for some time now and it’s helped immensely. No one explains things more explicitly than him imo. So far we haven’t had to make drastic sacrifices and hopefully we won’t have to because of preparing way ahead of time. Thank you Sundance for all your meticulous work you provide us! I pray God will protect and bless all patriots here who are trying their best to do the right thing to survive this hellish nightmare.
Where I live gas prices dropped a little bit around Thanksgiving, but shot right back up yesterday.
They say the reserve oil that has been tapped was put in tankers and sent to Asia if true tapping the reserve was a stupid idea.
I don’t even look anymore at the price. I just fill up the tank in case I have to flee a wildfire or flood or Xi virus coming my way.
Yup. Never let it get below a half tank, and am forever topping it off.
Got an EXTRA 40 gallon tank on my truck, in addition to the main tank, and have kept it full, for over a year.
Rotating stock, of coarse.
If Brandons lips are moving, he is lieing.
And if he or his handlers have an idea, it is a STUPID idea, guaranteed.
Whoever came up with this idea of “spin” must be the same ones advising Baldwin, to do the G. Snafalupugus interview.
This is Obama’s policy implemented by an Administration staffed entirely by Obama’s people. Joe Biden is just a passenger on the Obama choo-choo train to a Marxist Paradise.
I think Obama was also just a figurehead; he’s too LAZY to be the mastermind you and many others think and say he is, IMHO.
Nobody listens to moronic politicians; the public just watches what disappears from their wallets ever faster and faster while receiving fewer and fewer goods and services. The public (for the most part) is not deceived … just the politicians into believing the crap they’re shoveling.
i see here in town it dropped a whole penny.thanks brandon!with winter here and temps dropping,i’m kinda surprised it did drop,the refineries should be going to winter blend which usually raises the price.
Trying to use Omicrom to reduce demand, slow inflation AND distract people FROM the inflation,…is like using a mask to stop Covid, or a chain link fence to stop mosquitos; it ain’t gonna work.
They have exhausted Covid, and unless they can arrange a National Security threat of large proportions (attack or war) I don’t think they have anything left in their tool box.
These are largely people who cheated their way thru college, and thru life, have been “faking it” their whole lives, and are faking it, now.
Clueless, in other words.
Let’s see, I saved 2 cents on gas but my Thanksgiving Turkey cost me an extra buck, so I’m 98 cents in the hole.
At this rate, I’m never going to be able to afford that electric car that Joe Biden wants me to buy.
Why would we tap our national strategic oil reserves….and then ship it to China?
**********
“President Biden’s move to tap the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is expected to supply Chinese and Indian oil needs…”
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/oil-reserves-released-biden-expected-china-india
Back in March 2020 (right after Dem super tuesday, remember all other candidates dropped out clearing the path for Biden) we started the whole covid lockdown mess. This was not only to justify mail in voting to get Trump out it served two other purposes.
Remember they need our currency to buy energy (oil & NG) food and raw materials. So China passed laws so they could take Hong Kong citizens into custody and bring them to mainland China. This was to stop the wealthy in Hong Kong from exporting their money to Taiwan. It also sparked massive protests in China which the covid virus promptly shut down
2…..The same day that covid lockdowns happen in the U.S. Saudi Arabia and Russia start an oil war with each other. (remember oil at $10 / barrel) This caused a problem of oil tankers 300-400 VLCC’s all getting backed up off the coast of China. (a VLCC holds 2 million barrels of oil). My guess is China used up it’s oil reserves prior to the covid lockdown to stay afloat during the Trump tariffs. The oil war between Saudi Arabia and Russia was done to allow China to build it’s energy supplies back up on the cheap under the guise of covid while at the same time putting smaller U.S. oil producers out of business.
The log jam of VLCC tankers that started in April/May cleared out by August. How did China manage to off load that much oil so quickly if their storage tanks were full and under reduced usage due to covid lockdown? Remember prior to covid Saudi Arabia’s largest oil refinery was hit by Iran with little to no response. Al Bagdadi and Solemoni (Iranian terrorist leaders) were taken out by Trump with little to no response. Was that Russia strong arming Iran so they didn’t do anything to send oil skyrocketing? China was also caught violating sanctions with two oil tankers from Iran during trade negotiations? If China were to go broke so too does Russia and Saudi Arabia, as China is their number one customer.
Right now China is experiencing Energy shortages, Raw material shotages and FOOD shortages! This all adds up to one simple conclusion the main shortage they are experiencing in a shortage of U.S. dollars to purchase with. The Trump tariffs hurt the much more than they will admit!
I meant to type 2.3 Trillion and a few other typos “the s/b they/them” Wish you could edit these.
This is an insightful analysis. Thanks!
Yes. I was in Shanghai in October of 2019. I stayed downtown in the business district; for those who have been there, it’s akin to Manhattan, sort of. It has many 5 star hotels and a stone’s throw from the Chinese Disneyland.
I stayed in a 5-Star hotel on this trip. You also typically have to deal with NYC-like traffic and hordes of people. Hordes!!
Well, in Oct 2019. One other person and I were the only guests in this hotel. The 5-star next door- empty. The other hotel down the other side of the block- two guests. The other high-end hotels have under ten guests (I learned this from the Concierge at my hotel). There was only a minimal selection from their menus (3 restaurants in my hotel). But, the biggest surprise this trip- there were no people or traffic. Almost all gone. The drive from the airport, which in the past could take an hour or so, took 15 minutes.
Q: Why would we tap our national strategic oil reserves….and then ship it to China?
A: It’s a real my$tery. We May Never Know(tm).
And it’s better that way.

They’re laughing at us.
Biden’s administration obviously is not telling that 67% of all electricity in the US comes from fossil fuels, mainly natural gas. So, electric cars are going to be expensive to buy, but also to maintain and run and will require fossil fuels so that they can be charged. Ordinary people won’t be able to afford electric cars, especially since the supply chain problems and inflation will drive the cost up. Of course, the communists don’t want people to be able to travel around much. They want people in one place where they can be totally controlled without a way to escape.
According to the Wall Street Journal “market” section, unleaded gasoline futures are UP two cents a gallon this morning. Crude oil futures are up two dollars a barrel.
Proving another theory once again — Ignorance is remediable; stupid is forever.
“Even the leftist media recognize this type of propaganda only makes Democrats look more stupid.”
They don’t care how stupid they look.
They don’t have to.
They’ve got Dominion.
It’s odd that wage and price controls aren’t being discussed. They were the hot topic during the inflation of the 1970s.
I fear that anarchism has truly gripped the minds of the Democrat elite – our culture is simply too broken to be mended. Democrat Senator Shaheen is calling for revolution if the abortion decision currently before the Supreme Court doesn’t go their way.
Okay.
Democrats are the party of death.
In every form but capital punishment, where it is needed the most.
“that’s the Green New Deal component of this. However, there is no policy for their transition – they stopped all current energy policy around oil and coal.”
A smooth transition becomes an objective only when there exists a desire to maintain a viable middle class. The Green New Deal is a control paradigm masquerading as an existential ecological necessity. The truly coveted transition (sought by the elites) is to take us from mass planetary economic enfranchisement (neccesitating cheap energy/cheap credit) to neo-feudalist lockdown. Energy policy is a means to an undisclosed end.
When we point out the zaniness of the Left, and little else, we become accomplices to keeping their true ends undisclosed.
There is NOTHING the Right is doing to derail the knuckleheads. Which points to a certain canniness on the part of the knuckleheads. Which belies deployment of the very term ‘knucklehead’.
It’s as though the Right has decided to content itself with jeers and name-calling while relenting on the battle itself. Might as well get some yuk-yuks in on the road to perdition.
At least the Left manage to manifest their knuckleheaded vision. That makes them less feckless than the Right.
When you look at major oil companies’ capital spending plans, there nowhere for oil to go but up.
Exhibit 2: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/12/01/economy/inflation-good-bad-winners-losers/index.html
The problem is that the public is not cooperating with Omicron. Many aren’t buying the hype. So if we don’t reduce our spending patterns and consumer demand ourselves, they will tell Fauci to conjure an excuse to force lockdowns to reduce spending to slow down inflation for the short term.
We’re already seeing how they are doing it in Germany and Austria. Force the unjabbed into lockdown and make them the guilty party for the nation’s health and inflation ills. They are going to have to do something drastic like that in the US because we’re not going to reduce spending and consumer demand on our own.
Serious question: I heard that Americans have been hoarding cash per a Wall Street Journal article. But we need to reduce spending too? Which is it? Both can’t be right.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday spending were down from (even) 2019 if I remember correctly. When food and energy costs are skyrocketing, spending on unnecessary items goes down. It all depends on what one is measuring.
I’ve become a pre-tribulation/rapture believer.
Hallelujah, in the blink of an eye we will be with the King of kings and Lord of lords.
More important than anything else, we must be prepared with oil for our lamps when the Bride Groom arrives.
Vote all incumbents in Congress out.
I remember in the old college days, we had to perform an experiment and plot the result. I knew the results ideally should be linear. It looked more like a rhombus. No problem; I just adjusted the scale, and magically it appeared linear. I got busted by the professor, and deservedly so. I thought I was being clever. I wasn’t. Figures don’t lie, but liars do figure.
Wow! This going going to totally revamp my budget. I will have a whole 64 extra cents after my $108.16 refuel. I should gain around 33 dollars a year in savings. Just think in only 4 years it will add up to a free tank of gas.
GO Branden!
Don’t gasoline prices TYPICALLY FALL after holidays associated with much driving?
Yes. Because demand slightly drops due to people staying home for a few days.
Here I was thinking “Winsome” would be a shoe-in for the 2022 most popular baby name for girls. Now I’m afraid it’s bound to give way to “Tuppence.” Whole chapters in public school history books will be written on this, Biden’s greatest victory (so few and so minuscule will be any other entries in the plus column).
A truncated graph deceives the gullible. These kind of graphs are frequently used by alarmists, both covid and climate alarmists and those based on models bear no resemblance to empirical observations. Sadly with education so dumbed down many young people uncritically swallow these hook, line and sinker.
