“Some callers were blaming Russia for the inflation. But most of them were blaming “greedy companies”. No one was blaming Biden.”

Propaganda works.

The Democrats plan to totally destroy the country—and then blame everyone else—and have Big Tech censor anyone who disagrees.

...if 1932 is an indication, the government will come first to confiscate resources while thieves fight over the scraps.


For me, the scariest moment in any recent movie is the first five minutes of “Inglorious Basterds”. It hits too close to home. You’re really not safe from “them”, even in the sticks.

At the end of the day, life is just a mist anyway. I’m almost 70. The Lord has been faithful and I believe that will continue until the day I die, even if that day is today.

“I’m in rural Kentucky. the day before yesterday, all the stations in town had regular at $3.29. By noon they were at $3.49. And yesterday at 11 they were at $3.69. I have no idea what it is today.”

I’ve been shocked by how long prices stayed below well this level while the oil price went up, up. up. Oil traders did a great job of delaying the worst with good futures buying strategies.

Those futures finally ran out and here we are and here we will be until USE goes down radically. And that’s the plan by the Globalists.

There is only supply and demand. And supply can’t be raised anytime soon.

I remember when gas prices would change maybe once a month or week.

They’re changing almost hourly now and there’s no way in hell that should be happening especially when the gas in the underground tanks was bought and paid for at a lower cost.

The world has gone mad and America is leading the way under the current idiot in the WH.

filled the car up Monday at $4.15 for 89 octane. On Friday it was $4.45. That’s 7% inflation in 5 days. I’d hate to see gas prices if that continues for a few more months.

Someone mentioned here yesterday that union pacific has determined it will be cheaper to use steam engines converted to burn waste oil then diesel electric locomotives.

I chose to let it lay instead of lay him out, not sure, he’s a pretty big guy.
I understand supply and demand but I can’t understand people who claim a president’s policies don’t affect prices.

"Do you grow MDs, nurses, pharmacists, etc... in your garden? That “stuff” will be heavily streamlined."

I get my antibiotics at Calvet Supply without a prescription.
I've used them on-line for about fifteen years now without a problem.

“How ‘bout nearly $800.00 for 200 gallons of #2 fuel oil. Just a couple of years ago, we were paying less than $300.00.”

I guess I got a deal, $2360 for 750 gallons in January.

Same here, this morning it was $3.59 still but that won’t last. My son works in the meat department at a Food City supermarket and he says they are being short loaded on shipments 60% and what they get it outrageous in price. My homeowners has jumped from $2400 a year to $3000 with no claims ever filed.

My sister’s HVAC died in October last year, the company finally got her replacement unit in last week. Thankfully she had gas fireplace as an alternative heating source.

In 2007-8 all those high gas prices were Bush’s fault. Democrats would make excuses for Jack the Ripper taking out a college dorm full of coeds if he were an avoid communist.

There is zero reason for a conflict in the Ukraine to cause those kinds of price hikes.

It’s not a reason, it’s an excuse.

That’s one option. That still leaves us with Heels Up! though. And don’t forget who is sniffing her exhaust fumes...

There was a little shrimp cocktail platter-thing I used to get at a grocery store that was $3.98 for a long time. Now $7.04.
