Guys, producers don't set the oil prices contrary to what the media would have you believe.

To be a leftist is to be willfully ignorant of basic economic principals.

Oil prices dropped yesterday to a 15 month low.
As I was passing a gas station yesterday,gas went up 15 cents a gallon.

Interesting read in the Wall Street Journal yesterday about natural gas prices. Essentially, the move to so-called "green" energy sources (wind & solar) is straining our power grid. This will come as a shock to leftists, but the wind doesn't always blow and the sun doesn't always shine. On those days, with all the coal plants decommissioned, the electricity companies have to buy power from natural gas plants, which A) gives the natural gas producers a chance to jack up prices, and B) increases the demand for natural gas, which further drives up prices for everybody. Then we have President Brandon trying to shut down the natural gas pipelines, etc, etc. If you get a $900 power bill or gas bill, dial up one of your lefty friends and thank them.

As I said before, my oil and gas leases again this month went down--MORE! Somewhere between the ground and the pump someone is making a ton of money. Anyone notice the posturing of China and Russia lately?

Would that person's last name rhyme with "Hidden"? When will someone in the Justice Department read the sign on the front of the building where they work and do their friggin' job, arrest the crack smoking corrupt, worthless maggot kid who is extorting millions from foreign Countries and the American public while using his father's name and position.

Someone in the Justice Department get busy before they destroy our Country, do your friggin job! Your obligation and loyalty should be with the citizens of this Country and the Constitution.

You need to remember ANYONE that voted for BIDEN are all system suckers living off of the working peoples taxes. Unfortunately there are more of them than us.
This is the NEW USA that people want, have everyone dependent on the government.

And yes, this includes MILLIONAIRES that are on the system collecting, Social Security, Food Stamps, Free Heat, Free Transportation, etc, etc.

Yes sir. I and many others tried to WARN people in a lot of different ways, of these exact things, before the 2020 election. Many argued saying "would you rather have a criminal in office". Well yes, absolutely, so long as he can LEAD the country in a direction that is good for everyone. "They" laughed.

Now what?

In the last number of years we had an economic boom. A lot of us knew it wasn't going to last (never does) and we prepared for it. Some of us spent and spent and spent and now we have nothing left to spend all the while, bills are skyrocketing. The wolf is now at the door and we ain't got nothing to protect ourselves with. I guess I'm one of the few who saw this coming and prepared. I didn't get rich, but I also didn't spend a lot. We (myself and immediate family) are mostly comfortable but not by much. Uncertainty of the future is hurting what we do and where we park our income, and this also affects my personal bracket racing program. Unfortunate.

We have a limited income so inflation really hurt. We drastically cut back on everything, we weigh and measure everything we charge. We are going on our last vacation to Kauai the cost has more than doubled since last year.

We have renters in the same boat so we didn't increase any rental fees, they have been the same for the last 7 years, zero increase. I can see that we won't be able to remain in California much longer it's just not possible. Our plan is to leave California within the next three years, most of our neighbors have been forced to do the same. Eventually very few our age (retired) will be able to stay here.

Well, my plan as laid out several months ago to get out of CA. is moving along. Last day of work today. House closes in OK. April 28. Be a long process of moving all our stuff, but main thing is finally getting out of CA.!
