About those fuel prices…

This would be funny if it didn't represent the state of things. Guys be whatever you wanna be but for the love of god stop being ignorant. Be a liberal, but to defend the way things r going and to quote media sources that some of us find to be suspect at best isnt proving your point. Imo its simple, 4 yrs ago my life was easy, economy rolling and throwing money into savings every week. But today lifes hard, economy is on the brink and every week I pull a little money from savings to make ends meet. Hmm what could have changed??????

What - precisely - did he say? Have a transcript?

Hello; Interesting. I also have seen video of the man and he is indeed saying he plans to end fossil fuels. More than one video for that matter. Not some second or third person claiming he said these things. The man himself speaking the very words.
You post links and quotes often. Unless these videos are being suppressed, they should be easy to find.

Hello; Very apt comments. I considered posting something similar a few posts back when he put up quotes about how good the economy is now, but I let it slide. We who are dealing with this current state of the economy can see for ourselves. I was buying some concrete mix today. Saw on the counter some screws that I would have bought by the pound a couple of years ago being sold at 29 cents each.

Two years ago i had extra at the end of the month. Was even shopping for a Mustang as a bucket list third car. Now I will wait a bit to see what happens.

Idc about politics tbh. But how folks can live thru situations like this and not see a problem is beyond me. And to think this is from the group of all inclusion take from the rich give to the poor.... Of course that cant be true since I'm poor and getting poorer by the day but hey must be my fault for believing all the lies hahaha.
I'm still waiting for all those freebies I was promised a couple yrs ago too

Hello; Fore what it is worth I spent about ten minutes looking for "end fossil fuels" comments. I found several articles and some you tube videos. Considered posting them as rebuttal on here but felt it could be a trap. If i post to prove a point some one may report me in hopes of my being banned. Anyway the stuff can be found.

Mustang u say?! Death to all gas burners!!

Hello; Yes, a third car i do not need. Back when young some in the 1960's friends had GTO's, Camaros, Barracudas and Mustangs. I could not afford one at the time. Does not make sense in recent times. During the lockdowns and stimulus spending things went crazy. Dealers stopped making deals. Got to the point the internet car sales outfits ( Vroom maybe?) Were buying used Mustangs a year or two old and paying more than the owner had paid for the cars new. On a Mustang forum this was reported a few times. Prices have crazy. I shopped for some older Mustangs 1995 to 1998 and found the sellers were asking what I call covid prices. It seems plenty of folks had stimulus money and extra generous unemployment cash and were spending freely. Also seems the lockdowns messed up the computer chip factories so there has been a shortage of new cars.

Same thing happened with motorcyles, I stopped shopping and decided to keep my old hog because of crazy pricing and shortages.

Yea, I heard they can't do gas rebates because of the chip shortage and not being able to print rebate cards... No idea if its true, but boy what a mess. Also, not sure how basically printing more money can help us when its a main cause for the problems we face today...
