This stuff going on in the world is making my likelihood to be violent go up.

I'm pissed the fukk off.
Focus grasshopper!
Turn it where it does some good.
We are all pissed off.
Big chit sammich, and us peasants have to eat it while the wealthy still enjoy their normal life at a slightly higher cost.

We could definitely work through these "Rough spots" with our own locally produced oil.
What REALLY pisses me off is that we don't, and that just makes MANY suffer for the benefit of a few that have money tied up in "deals" to NOT produce a certain amount, or even keep the capacity to produce it in these times of need.

This BS wouldnt even be an issue if we would just walk away and tell the mfers to come back when you sort your chit out.

I don't.
That giant bish I drive gets 11 mpg.
Thank God I aint paying out of pocket, but its ridiculous when I ran 180 miles today, will have over 200 by Thursday, and at least another 200 before the weekend is up.
It holds a bit less than 50 gallons.
They pay me by the hour to drive and use it to make them money, and they pay me a good hourly wage plus benefits. Add per diem into that.
Whos getting fukked?

Short answer.
ALL of us that make up American industry.
From the company owners down to the peon techs like myself.
That bullchit CAN NOT continue.

I know, its a larger problem upstream.
Its just sad that its been allowed to get to this point over the years.

Too much complacency.

The first can of Copenhagen I bought was 50 cents, now it's over 10 dollars a can forty two years later.
All manor of so called "tastes just like Copenhagen" came out over the years and the only thing that tastes just like it is... Copenhagen.
I agree! Remember when they only had Copenhagen, Skoal and Happy Days.
Never liked wintergreen or raspberry.

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.
Conservatively we're paying the equivalent of $10.77USD for 1 Gallon of 89 E free here in NZ at the moment
