I drive 23 miles to work and 23 miles home each day and fill up once a week. It hurts man. It really does.

Last week I saw an Arco station at $4.35 jump to $5.15 the next day. Several Chevron stations are already over $6 and Lord knows how much higher they'll be by the end of the week.

Yep its not as easy as just suddently increase production. Also maybe as an individual you are open to pay more for your average use if you think this will help Ucrania somehow; but the main problem is that oil prices scalates goods prices since most of them are moved by trucks , specially in the U.S. so in the long run you see grocery product prices up.

I remember in high school my neighbor took his truck in to get his tires rotated, a scumbag employee made a copy of the key and then stole it out of his driveway a few days later. When they caught the guy they figured out he’d been running diesel in it (gas motor) because gas prices had soared above $1.60 a gallon and diesel was cheaper at the time.
So the shop’s insurance had to buy him a whole new truck.

If we ever needed a "World War II / Space Race" moment to make sweeping changes to our energy economy all at once over a very short period of time to save the planet from climate change, then this is it. It's not often that you get to solve multiple extremely significant problems with one solution.
Should really tell you the priorities of anyone voting against moving aggressively to renewable energy. Literally benefits the US consumer, national security, global security, and the future of the planet's climate all at once.

Fossil fuels prop up autocrats. Even if you ignore climate change, it’s still a moral failing to rely on them when they’re used as a tool to subjugate entire countries, or to fund violent acts of aggression as we are seeing here.

It'll actually be a documentary.Very suspicious timing indeed, for the sequel announcement.
"On March 4, 2022, it was announced that a sequel is in development with Will Smith reprising his role and will be joined by Michael B. Jordan. Both actors will also produce and Akiva Goldsman will return to write the screenplay."
‘I Am Legend’ Next Chapter: Will Smith & Michael B. Jordan To Star & Produce Together For First Time; Akiva Goldsman Back To Write
EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros. is upping the stakes on its I Am Legend franchise to a stratospheric level. For its next chapter, the studio is bringing back not only original star Will Smith but also Blac…deadline.com
This also does not mention his weird PUA history.
There is a post under one of his aliases where he gets a 20 yr old Belarusian girl to give him a bj for $6 after picking her up in the provinces and driving her to an isolated wooded area and refusing to drive her back if she didn't comply.
Absolutely disgusting.

Not Pressing For NATO Membership As Alliance Afraid Of Confrontation With Russia, Says Zelenskyy
In a reference to NATO membership, Zelenskyy said through an interpreter that he does not want to be president of a country that is begging something on its knees.

Glad the gossip squad is here to tell us how terrible a person he actually is. Would have been highly problematic to enjoy some YouTube videos.

The authorities of the Republic of Poland, after consultations between the President and the Goverment, are ready to deploy – immediately and free of charge – all their MIG-29 jets to the Ramstein Air Base and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America.
At the same time, Poland requests the United States to provide us with used aircraft with corresponding operational capabilities. Poland is ready to immediately establish the conditions of purchase of the planes.
The Polish Government also requests other NATO Allies – owners of MIG-29 jets – to act in the same vein.

Because more pilots in Ukraine can actually fly Migs already.

It probably has something to do with speculators.

Just a handful of jets. Does Ukraine even have pilots ?
Im not feeling too optimistic about the Migs. Even if Ukraine does get a bunch, they're pretty inferior to Russia's newer SU fighters and would likely lose in most direct dogfighting. of course if the Ukranian Army can somehow coordinate things so that they have stingers on the ground targeting Russian fighters at the same time that they're trying to deal with Ukranian jets, then that could tip the balance in their favor.

Ukraine has almost 40,000 in their airforce. Thats more "dont have many". Please make sure you know what you're talking about before commenting fake news.

that's some next level of accusatory bs, you should be banned for this. unless you have real proof not some "aliases" gtfo.
There are a few vids of it, his posts, hometown, height, etc all match up with the ones on the PUA forum he was on. Somebody summarized the entire thing here, you can check it out.

Wait... ukrain have 40k pilots but no jets?
What... something is off here... whole Poland have like 500 military planes total.
It's a journalist speaking with soldiers/civilians... How is that the equivalent of China entering a war?

It's Chinese state media embedded with Russian troops.
Have you never seen journalists speak with American soldiers? Are they US state media embedded? Journalists go to war zones all the time, it's their job.

I think most popular political scientists in the academic world predicted this. I'd be careful, what Biden & other analysts say/said is what the mods banned another user for.

Really depends since they are state owned CCTV workers are government employees even more so than say the BBC. CCTV is everything from propaganda and “news” to dating shows, to standup comedy sketches to C-Dramas every bit as cheesy as K-Dramas and of course the classic WWII revisionist war drama show of the month in Which Mao Zedong single handedly beats the evil Japanese Imperialist occupiers.
Would China consider it an act of war if Ukraine inadvertently blows up a Russian convoy with a CCTV “journalist” in it? Can Russia use that as a shield to protect their troops and bombs long enough to get into position?

China and India Brawl at 14,000 Feet Along the Border (Published 2020)
As China projects its power across Asia, and along the disputed India-China border in the Himalayas, India is feeling surrounded. Both sides insist they don’t want a war, but thousands of troops have been sent.
They've been in some large fist fights recently and didn't declare war.

I'm a little apprehensive about this being seen as a more direct escalation of the conflict that we should be trying to turn off -- including getting the Ukrainians to accept a quasi-Minsk I/II protocol like outcome. We're lucky that MANPADS and anti-tank missiles haven't provoked a response, but hundreds of millions of dollars in MiG-29s could be nearing lines in the psychology of the Kremlin for minimal upside considering the Russian airforce is badly underperforming and effective CAP are nonexistent while bases for these MiGs are easy targets for standoff weapons that the Russians can effectively use (See Syria and Ukraine so far) even in their shitty logistical state.
Now cue the war hawks to attack me in this thread who, outside of formerly being resident idiots in the domestic political realm, are now are applying their skills to demand Putin's assassination and military acts that are ratcheting up the conflict.
EDIT: Do realize, the WWI/WWII equivalent of this would be if the Russians used standoff weapons on Rammstein to destroy the MiGs in transit, just as Germany did to the American goods with their U-Boats that were crossing the Atlantic.

Not likely. Didn’t the US/NATO bomb a Chinese embassy in the 90s on accident? Whoopsie. Nothing happened

it's some bs conspiracies without any real evidence. you should get off reddit.
Ukraine is likely flying sorties out of the western part of the country which is still untouched by Russia.

there's many airfields in west ukraine with angars designed to withstand missiles attacks and most likely with air defences not talking about stingers and nlaws which there should be plenty off.
