Compared to Europe, we have cheap fuel prices even now. But it still hurts. Fuel ain't the thing I'm really worried about though.

Fertilizer.

Russia and Belarus produce 35% of the world's supply of potash. And they will not be selling it for the foreseeable future. Also, China decided in October to stop exporting all fertilizer. As fertilizer prices increase, and supply dwindles, food prices will spike. Folks on fixed income will be hit hard by this. They can drive less....but they gotta eat.

As for the Keystone pipeline....it was never intended to supply oil for domestic use. It would have supplied tar sand crude to oil refineries on the gulf coast to be shipped out of the country.

Yeah....this all sucks. But it's not the fault of our leaders, past or present....Republican or Democrat. The world is fairly *frenched at the moment.

I bought some corral panels a few days ago. 149.95 each. A year ago they were 89.00 each. 5 years ago they were 40.00. Fertilizer is 3 times higher, fuel too. Cattle prices have yet to increase enough to compensate.

Companies are raking in record profits, yet they are still raising prices. That's just greed. Now they are raising prices to add even more pain when they shouldn't be profiteering at a time like this.

Be pissed my friends.....but be pissed at the right people.

Repeal Citizens United! And jail all 537 for treason!

I am not a robot!

Dammit Wayne! @Dub11

Automation is not the answer! While you can have a robot make your widget, or grow your veggies. At the end of the day, you still need customers. Those customers require money to make the purchases. There are only so many rich people to buy your thingamabob. So robots, while useful, will also have to become your customers. Take away a man's ability to feed his family, back a man into a corner.

Well, you know what happens. Maybe that is the plan.

Yes, we can blame our politicians, for were they not for sale, the big corporations that steer them would not be possible. Imagine going back to free market competition. Where the better mousetrap gets bought instead of the richest mousetrap maker, buying legislation that prevents anyone from competing.

Don't know how to fix it, well I do. But they won't let it happen!

Going to go wordle now.

Two affirmatives.
Curious what other makes you have? The only others I know are gasboy, which is owned by Gilbarco, and Bennett, which is still independent. Schlumberger and Tokheim are gone, southwest, gone.
