Yeah. I mean I don't remember when gas was under 1.3€/l here. Now it's a bit over 2€/l (that's more than 7.5€/gallon). I drive a twenty year old volvo which uses about 8 liters per 100km. A new one would use like half of that.
The demand for low taxes is why US infrastructure needed a trillion dollar injection to attempt to keep it all from falling apart.
Agreed. There is no point arguing with what is very likely the same troll over and over. We might as well just set up a Newsmax feed straight into politics. You will not win this argument with logic or facts. If they even remotely mattered, 80% of Republicans would not believe the ridiculous idea that Trump win the election - (edit)bigley.Why do all these threads get just a few posts in then become a troll war?
Once the d-bag troll is identified everybody put he/she/it on ignore and lets have some grown up discussions. You know, like adults were known to do back when sanity and logic ruled.
We got a big war and possibly even a much bigger one near the tipping point to be concerned about and if this goes sideways these temporary high gas prices are going to be the least of our concerns.
I'm old enough to to remember how it felt during the Cuban missile crisis and it's feeling a lot like that again. I don't much care for it.
If Ukrainian farmers don't get planting done this spring the resulting famine is going to raise prices of a lot more stuff. Stuff we have to have to survive and we will feel it. Probably going to be a small crop in Russia too with all the farm boys dying or captured in Ukrainia.
All the fires and floods, then Covid and now this. If it ain't one thing it's another. 乁( •_• )ㄏ
30 seconds was all I could endure.
Cool. Can you tell us what you guys were injecting onto our water table since the previous administration (Bush/Cheney) gave you a pass to ignore the Safe Drinking Water Act? Asking for a friend... all of them really, and my kid.
that's not necessarilly true...when i joined this site, i had some very magat-ish ideas, that i had never really thought through...i checked out the politics forum and thought a lot of people were full of shit, but a few members asked me questions that i couldn't answer, and i don't like standing like a fool without any answers to back me up, so i started reading...at first i didn't believe half of what i read (i still don't, but it's not the same half). i started to look for news sources that i could use to verify other site, unrelated sites posting the same stories is usually a good sign that they are real, or at least as close as you're going to get...once i started doing that, it quickly became apparent that most of the things i "felt" were right, were designed to make me feel that way, to make me think how someone else wanted me to think...in short, i woke up. i quit trusting either side to tell me the "truth" and started trying to verify everything i read...and it has become apparent that while democrats will sometimes lie, sometimes try to misdirect, most of the time, they're telling the truth...and republicans are the exact opposite, they lie like they breath, freely, naturally, unthinkingly...they were bad before trump, after, they're blatant and sloppy about it.
Uh, help me out... how many hectares is that per demiard?
They are having a similar problem with people believing bullshit in Russia and if you thought America was politically divided, wait till you see Russia in a couple of months. Many Americans and others in the west now have a greater appreciation of the power of misinformation, as Putin lies his head off and most buy it while censorship comes down hard.
I put you on ignore.
It's pretty clear from your therad title that whatever bullshit this clown has to say is going to be hyper-partisan shit. Let's break it down.
So if it's theoretical, then nothing you're saying is actual true. Do you know what "theoretical" means?
And in 2008 it was the same price as today, under Republican rule.
about .5 ....demiard = about half a pint, hectare = 10,000 sq meters, (think two football fields next to each other) takes at least a pint of gas to mow that...if you hurry
I know, I used an area measure. I didn't think anybody would notice.
So here's what the media won't tell you. Yes they do use chemicals for fracking(anti corrosives/lubricants) but for the most part it's just sand and water. Areas where the wells are deep like the haynesville shale and barnette are pretty much safe since they're literally miles beneath the water table. The only time you have problems with the water table getting infiltrated by by oil/chemicals in deep shale areas is when the drilling company tries to save a nickle and does a half assed cement job...which I've seen (same thing that happened on deep water horizon). I was on a rig in decature tx and the company man had hardly any experience with shale. He calculated cement for the bare minimum and didn't bring it back to surface. He ruined the water table for a couple of square miles. The farmer sued and won a bunch of cash and the oil company now has to truck in water for his cows.
But that's not their narrative. It's because of a single pipeline!
What the media won't tell us?
the civil service needs to recruit people who understand the mechanics of the industry, because there is no fucking way i trust the oil industry to police itself...nor any major industry really, they have nearly all shown a complete disregard for nearly everything but profit
