Gas Under $2...coming soon...maybe

Then what would the Religion of Hate do if they didn't have the Jooooos to blame their insufferable lives on? Kinda similar to the liberals blaming R's.

I think very similar. You always need someone to point to and blame for your own failings. Worked in WW2 and its working now. I should go back and look to see how many bought into it. I know many did not side with the “blame the Jews” back then. Some helped hide Jewish people, some were so afraid they just said nothing but not everyone was on board with it. I have to wonder today when apparently half our population thinks its ok to target, blame and take from another group “the rich” if we are not more brain washed than the Germans were back then.

We could go to a city council meeting and make a video of a preacher saying how it is ok to take from the rich...then very cleverly show how these were the same statements that were made about Jewish persons. It would be clever but it would not prove anything either way.

Instead lets just make those who want to treat rich people differently than the rest explain exactly how it is fair. If I remember correctly it will be said that the rich took the money through greed and fraud. Which of course means that they are in need of morals or ethics to address their greed and are in need of prosecution to address the fraud. We cannot presume them to be guilty with a trial first by imposing fines nor can we write laws to address their greed and apply them to a whole class of people rather than judging each person individually under the law.

With the rich now a persecuted minority, it's a wonder anyone wants to be rich.

 

[steveox]

Well when you cant blame greed of oil then just blame the Jews!

Thats why so many people are hoping IRAN gets the bomb. Read Hitlers final solution.

You are correct that they are a persecuted minority - now tell us why any of us should stand for that.

And of course the reason people still want to be rich is because they get to buy things - trivial things like yachts as well as important things like the good feelings that come with making large donations to worthy charities.

So how many people don't want to be rich? Does that mean that the 99.9% of people who want to be rich have evil desires or does it mean that they want to do good works?

Just who are the people who hope Iran gets the bomb? Surely not even liberals who view the Iran/Israel/Palestine situation as one in which Israel is totally wrong don't even think that?

Boy I sure have been on here frequently recently. I think it is easier to log on briefly and often than to wait and post for longer periods.

Steveox, I do want you to know that while I do not often agree with you I respect that you treat me well in our exchanges and just as importantly I don't see your posts devolve when people disagree with you. There are others that I used to talk to until I realized that even though they seemed reasonable at first in the end there was no reason that could ever reach them and it was not even worth it to respond to their posts for the sake of others who might read those.

I blame TV shows like DALLAS,DYNASTY And Falcon Crest. When you see people wearing 3 piece suits fancy clothing,Driving Rolls Royces riding in Limos,Living in big mansions doesnt that tell you ..You wanna get rich too! Thats why people run to Lawyers and sue., They want to take money from the bosses,Their Landlords and take money from their doctors. And i blame this speech that has the influance on massive law suits.

Im just trying to tell you why we have anti semitism in this world. Read the bible thats where it all started right after jesus was killed.

Oh it goes all the way back to Isaac and Ismael - though technically both of them would be semites.

 

[Cruella]

Mohammed picked up the Biblical genealogy of Ishmael. He said he was a descendent of Ishmael and Hagar. In the bible it says; "He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against every man and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen." (Genesis 16:11-12 RSV).

I don't think Israel or Hamas has any oil either.

Well, that is untrue: Israel does not produce all it uses, but it DOES have some oil wells in the Golan Heights, that it illegally seized from Syria.

I can remember when gas cost a quarter a gallon. You drove into a service station, not a gas station, and had your car serviced, including checking the oil, the tires, the radiator, and filling the tank. When they were done, you handed the service guy a $5 bill, and he gave you back change.

Of course, that was sixty years ago, and not likely to ever come back again.

There's no use longing for the past or pretending that modern problems don't exist. Sorry, guys, but global warming is quite real even though you may not want to believe in it. Every scientific organization on Earth says it is real.

We will never see $2.00 a gallon for any extended time, if ever.
No American president can say "dill baby drill", and be expected to be obeyed in any way.
The government does not control the oil companies.

Clean coal was not a thing in 2016, and is still has never become a thing.

Trump promotes his drill propaganda as if USA doesn't have though oil.
It is currently the biggest oil exporter on earth but the Magas think it's Biden's fault.

The price of gasoline is controlled by an alliance of OPEC, the Russians, the Iranians, and US Big Oil. They are corporations and their goal is to maximize profits.

The price for regular I saw yesterday is $3.39 a gallon. Tell me, do you think they would make a greater profit selling it for $2.00 a gallon? And keep in mind, that is in 2024 dollars, not 2017 dollars.

Trump does not have the power to "Drill baby drill" no president has ever had that power. The natural resources of our country are not controlled by any part of the government.
