I had to wait days in the late ‘70s in America.

50 years ago a friend of mine worked at SAC headquarters with the job of determining which targets would do the most damage to Russia if bombed. I don’t know if this is still true, but Russian production then was based on “One Big Plant” for everything they produced. Most of their oil refining capacity back then was concentrated in central Russia making the bombers back then having to penetrate deep into Soviet territory before reaching their target. Today’s technology makes this approach very susceptible to drone attacks because of this “concentration” philosophy. I think Putin is between a rock and a hard place.

Depending on one's perspective, this report can be seen in various ways.

1) Russia's government, problem. Russian consumers, impacted.

2) Don't care, and just filled my lovely old diesel truck yesterday on a lovely summer's day.

Similarly,

"The average price per gallon in the Golden State is now $4.84, according to AAA*. That is up five cents from last week and nearly 40 cents from last month. The average price of gas nationally is about $3.16. All nine Bay Area counties β€” except for Solano ($4.96) β€” are averaging above the $5 mark. The highest average price is located in Sonoma ($5.22)."

CA gas prices highest in nation, Bay Area averaging $5-plus per gallon KRON 4, The Bay Area's Local News Station, Feb 20, 2025

Depending on one's perspective, this report can be seen in various ways.

1) California's government, problem. Bay area consumers, impacted.

2) Don't care, and just filled my lovely old gasoline sedan today. At half the price of those wacky Californians.

As to John Varga's London, gas prices there in USD are about three times the price I paid these last two days.

As to the EU and Ukraine? About three times what I paid too.

And I still don't care. Please don't move here.

This poster sees Putin as being humiliated just about every day now. Putin must be groveling in the dirt by now.

Putin humiliated as oil-rich Russia runs out of petrol and drivers wait 8 hours to fill up

Oh dear, John Varga and the UK Express are upset that when Saint Zelensky is mounted on a stake, the activists will have to wait 8 hours to set him alight.

These are the times that try men's souls.
