Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded -- here and there, now and then -- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck." -- Robert A. Heinlein
Last year when I accepted the idea that we’re stuck with this fraud of an administration I bought a pile of shares in a gas/oil ETF…which as of this writing is appreciating at better than 200%. I wish that I could be happier about this, as rightfully I should. But after getting croaked by the Obama tenure (lost my business thanks to not believing ObamaCare would pass) I’m at least feeling somewhat prepared.

I’m glad for you. Part of my retirement accounts are heavy into commodities, losing heavily for the last two months. Fortunately I don’t depend on that account for living expenses, more for special things like vacations and upgrading the kitchen.

If I had had this graphic earlier I’d have included it with the post.

Unaffordable gas is just part of the plan. The plan to END privately owned ICE transportation. The criminals in power do not want any of us to.be able to travel at will. They want us dependent on public transport they can.control or crappy EV cars that have almost no range…and for which they can shut down the juice if they choose. The people in power aren’t stupid. They are evil. And EVERYTHING happening is part of their plans.
