I think you’re possibly correct on the food. Gas could hit $4 easily, under Chairman Jao Bai din.
As for the other............
On the food, I see runs like early last year as possible. I had posted a list of things on a thread a week ago or so. What happened March of last year.
Right before GWB left office, I was paying an average of $1.70 a gallon for gas. After Obozo took office, gas rose to $3.70 a gallon here in the Houston area.
How can these people not realize the financial impact on the poor/middle class. Oil, if I remember correctly rose to $130 dollars a barrel.
>>Combined with the coming super inflation, gas will be over $12 a gallon by summer. Food will be scarce. Politicians will be living inside barbed wire with hundreds of thousands of troops guarding them.<<
Kind of a stretch. lol
“ “I use 90oct ethanol-free has in my Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI V8”
I really want to try one of those. Is that the Hellcat motor and what do you think of the entire package?”
Butting in here, excuse me.
I don’t know about the Hellcat designation, but mine has plenty of git up & go. I pull a small trailer like it isn’t there. Merges nicely.
Even with city and short distance driving I average 15 mpg or so, which for a V8 Hemi ain’t bad.
“No one has been driving for a year.”
This is about Jet Fuel, and ability to increase oil production swiftly. Many seem to think a switch can be hit and product will flow everywhere. Not going to be that easy this time.
It’s weird how people think when gas is at a ridiculously low price due to temporary oversupply caused by something or things unusual, that’s the “normal” price and anything higher is “high priced”.
“I don’t know about the Hellcat designation, but mine has plenty of git up & go. I pull a small trailer like it isn’t there. Merges nicely.”
I didn’t know GCs came with a Hemi that was not the Hellcat.
Thanks for letting me know because that could be a great car without the extra expense (and gas guzzler tax) for the Grand Cherokee TrackHawk.

It has the Hellcat motor which is a supercharged HEMI with 707 little horses. 0-60 in 3.9 sec according to the factory but Test Drivers say it will cut a 3.5.
I need a car that will do that. I think they will be collector items too.
Time to think about people and stop the nonsense about saving the environment. God will take care of that.
I see.
Mine is a 2016, and I run it on regular gas. It’s a runner. On the open road at 75 it feels like it’s not even trying....and the mpg gets up to about 18. Great road car.
And the hydraulics (3 heights) come in handy when driving on the beach. We rented a house at OBX, 40 minute drive on the sand...lots of fun to get there!
I do, and I’m not a dumbf*ck, either. We’re all getting f*cked.
It’s going to be an increasingly lonely world moving on. Might not seem like it with 7 billion people, but I mean where I use to live was 300 people per square mile. The small town I am in now is something like 50 per square mile. The United States is one huge open land of nothing outside Compton, as an example.
I’m guessing doing to political actions of this administration? I wasn’t thinking about that, but we could even see wars in the middle east.
Of course if you have access to trees, a cheap wood stove and a chainsaw or two will keep you in good stead as a winter backup.
Yes for sure. It’s going to be a strange world going forward. My children I believe will be less prosperous than myself.
Yeah, I think the future for a lot of young people is trades.
Had my septic pumped today, that guy is making a LOT of money.
He said he wants to expand his biz, buy another truck, they can’t find anybody to hire, need Coml drivers license, Hazmat license, and work outside all year around.
Biden giving kickbacks to Iran and Vladimir Putin...
Isn’t it price gouging to exploit shortages in an emergency and run up prices?
Yes we had to find someone somebody knew from church who does renos on the side to do our bathroom and a bedroom. He didn’t do the greatest job in the world sadly and cost us lots.

[snip] Texas Freeze Litigation Mounts — Market Talk
Today 10:09 AM ET
1009 ET - Some of the world’s largest energy companies have filed dozens of lawsuits related to natural-gas contracts after prices skyrocketed during the February freeze that cut power for millions of Texans. Billions of dollars are collectively on the line as companies argue over who should pay the gas bill. The bulk of the suits are in Texas courts and involve some of the world’s largest energy companies and traders, including Exxon, Koch Industries, BP and Vitol.
