“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

If you'll full your trash cans with your paper money I'll be by on Tuesday to pick it up. I know some suckers down at the jewelry store that will totally give me gold for that worthless paper.
Spoken like a true globalist, beamish. Like I care if my currency is a global "reserve" currency. Acres. THAT is where Adam Smith says the "wealth" lies.
ps - The great thing about "agriculture" is that G_d does all the hard work of adding the "surplus value" and doesn't ever become aggreived from not collecting his share of the profits.
Daily oil production in the US is higher than daily consumption. Blaming gas prices on the war in Ukraine is complete bullshit. Who do we point our pitchforks and torches at?
Gas is $3.89/gallon here for 87 octane. I filled up for $44. To me, the math doesn't add up if Russian oil isn't off the world market yet. As spring approaches and US refineries switch from heating oil to making more gasoline prices should also drop, but they aren't. The 3% to 5% of US oil supplies that come from Russia shouldn't even have this price effect even if we stopped buying Russian oil.
Hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico is going to be a bitch this year.

LOL! You are too funny! :)

...and the closer those acres get to a city, the more valuable and "developed" those "acres" must get.
Productive acres being more valuable than undeveloped "grazing" land.

All those English Country Lords and all their Manors...
;P

Like the $700 Trillion in untapped oil under our feet?
Gold. Meh.
Let me know when gas prices get high enough to lease my backyard to an oil company lol
My girlfriend's father already leases mineral rights to his land for natural gas. He's already made more than what they offered him for the land.
Now we're talkin' wealth...
Just a old rundown West Virginia shack and hunting ground worth more that a Manhattan penthouse ;)
He's not gonna load up his truck and move to Beverly Hills though ;)
...just invade Ukraine a seize a few natural gas fields for home & hearth. ;)
Send troops that won't surrender for a sandwich and a phone call to their Mom.
We badly need to redefine what a threat looks like. Retarded Russians with decrepit nuclear weapons ain't.
He just isn't allowed to be a racial minority. He's got to be a white Russian or white NAZI. It's in the CRT Handbook under "intersectionality"...

Oil refiners???
Inflation would explain some of it, but something doesn't smell right about the latest hikes.
I paid over $50 to fill my tank today. It is ridiculous.

I paid $4.09 at WaWa (my car) and $4.19 at Shell (wife's car)...
Whether it's heating oil or gasoline, they both go through the US refineries.
And the Russian impact should also be regional, not national. Something is screwy.
We've seen it before. Oil companies spike the price of gasoline for the most threadbare of tangential reasons.
If a hurricane knocks out a light bulb on an inactive offshore rig we'll get a month of higher prices.
...of course lowering the price takes MUCH longer...
Invisible hands being all that they are.
