1. Bidens not responsible for the global inflation .
2. Trump wants to be dictator -he lies continually, and yes he may return knowing all he has to do is get gas prices down and you people will allow him to do whatever he wants.

3. My boat ? Yes it’s for sale, but I’m still fishing .

A comment about selling the boat. You may have reasons that make my comments not apply to your situation, but my son and I were talking about possible, pretty negative economic scenarios and agreed that holding onto hard assets was probably a pretty good hedge.

Tools you can use to make things that become hard to get or to fix things (if you’re inclined that way), a boat to go fishing in, your vehicle in good repair, things like that could be pretty important if things escalate (short of nuclear war) with Russia, China, etc. You don’t have to be an alarmist or extreme pepper to see the risk of a time when things may be difficult to source. My boat isn’t in anything like the condition of yours, but I’m holding onto it and looking to get it solid and reliable.

Just something to consider. You obviously enjoy fishing and being outdoors.

Well you mentioned it was still for sale - didn't seem inappropriate to make the comment. If you're interested in any more discussion on the subject, go ahead and make a post and I'll have a look.

Yep... and WHO gave them the huge profits? Why, the Dems under Biden of course. It was Biden on day one of his reign that gas prices started their climb. Biden that shut down drilling is some areas, Biden that made permitting processes almost impossible for small companies to stay in business. but yes, of course blame big oil. Some people will swallow any lie told to them by the Dems...

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Democrats will next week present a bill on gasoline price gouging. The bill will enable the president to issue emergency declaration making it illegal to increase the price of gasoline. "Price gouging needs to be stopped."

What will happen to the supply when price controls make it impossible to drill profitably?
