    I don't know how you can make that assumption. Anecdotally I'm seeing less traffic during my travels. And I put a lot of miles on my truck every year. There are a lot of people working from home. I find it hard to believe that all the work at home people are outnumbered the number of people living la vida loca.

    So when I look at what changed with respect to fuel in this country, I have to think shutting down pipelines and oil exploration has to be the issue.
    The rise in prices were a guarantee after the pipeline stop, and oil exploration ceased.

    Who would profit from that? Canada is still making oil, only difference is how it's getting here. I bet Canada has some cheap petrol.

    I imagine other oil producing countries appreciate Biden shutting down pipelines and exploration. Russia, Saudi Arabia, Canada, etc. With higher oil costs, they are pulling in more money. Not to mention they can control the supply to a greater degree.

Brandon's aide said yesterday there is no shortage of goods..
    Trucks are lined up to pickup containers, they just aren’t getting unloaded. This whole thing is a setup......

    Sand Yahoo’s biggest fear

    ONCE the world goes electric they are forever F’d.

    Saw an interview back in early 2000’s when oil shot up to $145 a barrel with Prime Minister of Oil was asked about the price of oil. He stated it should be some where around 60-80 a barrel tops. When question why they did not like it over $100 a barrel he said that once it got that high alternative fuels were viable option and IF/When the world ever swaps over they are in a pickle.

    Never seen corn/wheat grow in that damn desert watered with oil
