I delivered two accounts this morning home heating oil. $5.479 a gallon. Yikes I don't know how people can pay these bills.

Yep, I saw 4.10 to 4.19 for regular on my way to work this morning. This S.O.B. had the balls to say today that shutting down the pipe lines has nothing to do with soaring prices it's all because of Russia, Ukraine conflict. How will we survive three more years of this.

It's bad, but I hear Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says the WH could help solve the problem by buying Iranian oil if we stop buying Russian oil.
Restarting US production is off the table. It doesn't work with their political goals. Damn the citizens, full speed toward some unrealistic goal.

So much for fishing the rest of this year. Gas is already over $4 for Rec 90. $800 to fill the tank is friicken crazy.

Today... <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> So this picture taken Friday. Same station tonight - $4.19 for 87! In 1 days 87 went from $3.95 to $4.19! Unfricken real! I was thinking $5 per gallon at the dock this summer, now I'm thinking it will be $5+ at the pump and closer to $6 to $7 at the dock!

Gas went up at my station 40¢ yesterday. Not looking good. I keep reading it's going to get worse (Finland paper plan strike going to affect label making, Russia stopping all shipping of fertilizer out of the country, etc.) and I think I agree. Person I know who works at a label plant that prints for a major meat producer says this paper problem is going to cause more supply chain issues with food and has started already.
We all know what solutions would help.

Maybe these idiots will get so much pressure from the American people they will be forced to reverse course on their domestic petroleum policies. So Richard like you said in a previous post they are trying to crush the middle class, the backbone of this country to gain more government power. Bastards There's also some price gouging occurring to. When you see prices go up $0.20 overnight chances are they didn't have a new delivery and it's fuel already sitting in their tanks. President Trump warned the people who voted for these losers now we all are paying the price.

Home heating oil went up 48 cents per gallon this morning, current price $5,990. Pretty sure it's due to United States turning off the top on Russian oil. Yesterday I paid $4.39 a gallon for gas, today I see $4.59. These prices are not sustainable if it continues something will collapse.

These prices are not sustainable if it continues something will collapse. Unfortunately, the thing most likely to collapse is the working class family budget. I also fear for peoples businesses. My landscaper called my wife yesterday and said he needs to increase his weekly fee, due to the increased costs of fuel, by $5.00 per visit. He comes every other week. I told my wife that's probably not enough, he's dragging a fully loaded landscape trailer all over the county every day.... People are simply not going to be able to afford these increases for long, which is probably a part of Brandon's plan..... Get them of oil.... I don't think he has the foresight to understand the consequences of such a decision. I'm hoping one of the consequences will be a landslide in November.

Trickle down economics will cripple our economy. At these prices small businesses will be cut out of homeowner budgets then employees will be laid off then more families on the government tit. It’s going to be ugly this summer and then crime will kick in. Buy more ammo, keep cash in your safe, and rely on hunting and fishing for meat.

Buy more ammo, keep cash in your safe, Man, it's hard to do these two things at the same time, have you seen the price of ammo lately? One thing that everyone should seriously do, make sure you are registered to vote and know what changes if any have been made in your district, there are lots of changing laws, no matter what side you're on, you don't want to get shut out in November.

Fishing alone will keep me from having cash: Drive 1/2 hour to get to the boat. Drive the boat 1/2 hour or more to get to bottom feeding fish, or and additional 1/2 hour to begin trolling. Most expensive meals I eat are fish that I caught. I figure my tuna and Mahi average well over $20/pound since it's 80 miles out to the Gulf Stream waters.
At least for me, fishing is a hobby and not a cheap one. I could fish in the Northwest River behind my house, but considering the suburban runoff from streets I'd never eat anything I caught there.
