Kinda intended that way. But one of us wanted to push a button.
Riiiight.
So I guess that's one more thing we can't talk about? Don't pretend to be off to the side, wb. I am pretty confident that if gas prices doubled say, 2 years ago, you and your comrades would be going apeshit right now. Is that not correct, wb?
Actually, I’m not so ignorant about energy markets that I would have done that. Or, frankly, so stupid.
Don’t know about how anyone else here might have reacted, though. They can speak for themselves.

They went apeshit. They didn’t need an excuse.
I imagine we would have been told that the doubling of gas prices was a white supremacist project because it affected people of color disproportionately.
Don't you think, wb?
I’m still amazed that it’s so obvious that you actually think that you’re funny here. Not nerdy.
Now
that amuses me.

Just incredibly goosey, though.
But maybe your imaginary friends that you’re hoping might “share” their thoughts after watching that movie, at your urging, are getting a big kick out of you.
After all, you’re not the only nerd in the world. Just one of the biggest.

Interesting, tho, that nobody has even said they have seen it. Just wondering what they're all afraid of, or if they just are told not to watch it because of this or that, and just do what they're told.....

Obviously, you have no interest in discussing the validity of any of the points I made, which is why you decided to make it a personal attack on me, right? How clever of you.

Yeah. That's the same thing what bob says when he doesn't have an answer or doesn't want to think about the points made. The stalker just goes all-in on jabbing at me with some stupid remark. How come you never go after him for his 'attempts' at being clever? He's got a lot bigger volume of work in that vein than I have, does not worry about being redundant or repetitive, and really isn't very clever or humorous in his insults, in my opinion.

Poor thaing.
I just see them carving you up time after time and you whining about it and just coming back for more.
Just a different perspective. Thank goodness.
If you ever do seek help, as I’ve suggested, just direct your therapist to this board. Maybe that would save y’all a lot of time.
Have you ever looked back at your posts here? I think they are very revealing, collectively.

Yup, I added a new title today. All the various designations given to me by e-bigots on this bored for giving my perspective on issues that apparently didn't go down well with them. I only memorialize the best ones. This is, I think, the first time you've made the list, wb. And you can see how much it upsets me.

And don’t forget to mention to him or her all of pledges you’ve made here that you re-negged on. Starting with the one about Rush.
There have been quite a few, of course.
Total lack of intellectual discipline.
I’ll repeat again my advice: 1) strive for sufferability; and 2) introspect.
And, of course, seek help.

Oh, yeah, my rhetorical, clever comeback strawman (or woman) therapist.
No problem. Please don't worry about me. I think you probly have a lot more important things to think about, what with your intellectual discipline and all. Don't spend any more time on me, for goodness sakes. Put all your time into enlightening us with your intellect.

House passes bill targeting alleged price gouging amid high gas prices
(CNN)The House has voted 217-207 to pass a bill that gives the Federal Trade Commission the authority to investigate energy companies for alleged price gouging as prices at gas pumps nationwide hit record highs.
The vote was largely down party lines with four Democrats, Reps. Kathleen Rice of New York, Stephanie Murphy of Florida, Jared Golden of Maine and Lizzie Fletcher of Texas joining all the Republicans in voting no.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Katie Porter of California and Rep. Kim Schrier of Washington, gives the President the power to issue a declaration making it unlawful for energy companies to increase prices that are "unconsciously excessive", and authorizes the FTC to enforce those violating the act.
Murphy, who is not running for reelection, criticized the bill saying the measure "could further reduce supply."
"At best, this bill is a distraction that won't actually address the problem," she said in a statement. "At worst, it could make the problem more severe."
House Republicans urged their members to vote against the measure, with House GOP Whip Steve Scalise writing to Republican members that the bill "is an attempt by the Majority to distract and shift blame from the administration's self-inflicted energy and inflation crisis and blame energy producers, despite no evidence of price gouging."
The bill now goes to the Senate, where it is unlikely to garner the 60 votes necessary to overcome a GOP filibuster.

I thought the problem was Putin. no wait, Ultramaga people.... No, covid19..., no trump. So we now know it's price gouging. Those damn greedy oil companies. Good thing we have Nancy Pelosi's gang to protect us.

Gas prices are soaring around the world, and the reasons are the same. Increased demand (after two years of reduced travel due to COVID) and increases in speculative energy trading. More recently, supply disruptions due to the Ukraine War haven't helped either. The U.S. can't control many of those worldwide conditions, but we are trying to take what action we can to address pricing factors specific to the United States. Similarly, the rate of inflation in all Western countries has gone up substantially in the last year.
As opposed to Republicans, whose only response is to blame Biden.

Nice picture, BJ.
But I think I just got scolded for implying the President has anything to do with the price of gasoline.
So it looks like you are blaming Bush for high gas prices, but Biden has made wonderful policy decisions, and it's just bad luck and the fault of some new entity every other day that the price of gas is higher than it has ever been in this country.

No, I'm saying the President has nothing to do with it. If you take inflation into account, it's not the highest gas has ever been. The high prices are due to corporate greed. Oil prices are falling.
Why did the Republicans all vote against investigating price gouging? Is it because they want to blame Biden?
