Your blaming everyone but the car makers and not bring down our own oil prices. I don’t see cars broken down all over on the side of highways or even in the middle of the road anymore other than a flat tire or not filling the gas before heading out to where the next gas station was 100 miles.
I hate those warmongers Graham and the others. Trump has done some really good things but some not so good as well. Involving us in more wars is not what most Americans want. Playing chicken with the Russians is not a smart thing. All of this is going to hurt the GOP in the mid-terms.
The hatred of the Mullahs is vast…..the world will so much better when they are gone…..the next few days will tell a lot….the WEB has been closed down, the Shahs son is calling for massive demonstrations tonight and tommorow, which the regime may hit hard …..but US troops are not far away, nor other assets…..
i kinow you guys would prefer not to be involved, but islam is comming knocking whether we like it or not…knocking it back in Iran, would be a huge defeat…..as it would show it has no power other than fear.
Just like last time. Grimá Wormtongues the lot of them. I thought he was avoiding that trap at first but, apart from Bobby Kennedy who has more than enough diplomatic nous to navigate Trump’s ego and deal with his (RFK’s) detractors, the people prepared to stand up to him, Musk, Massie, MTG, etc. have been fired or sidelined. All these people, Lindsay Grahame, Miriam Adelson, Rubio, are all telling him he’s the best president ever while laughing behind his back, taking instructions from the swamp and Bibi and getting him to implement those agendas. The one area they haven’t got him to cave on yet is Ukraine. He must also listen to that other democrat on his team, Tulsi Gabbard.
Giving $3,000 to illegals to go home might look bad, but it’s much much cheaper to get them to go voluntarily rather than the costs of rounding them up unwillingly.
Gasoline was .25 cents for 104 octane here before 1970 and in todays dollars, times 20 it should be $5/gallon. But the highest octane today is 93 at Sunoco. re Then 1970 boom? That was the end of the boom, all down hill after 1970. gold backing removed.
Re your Gas economical cars started coming in at lower cost, less maintenance issues, better mileage. Sure a lower mathematical cost but a VERY high cost to American living standards.
Re your opportunists from places like japan? Japan and later China after 1989 had nothing to do with their successes, only God knows who was determining tax rates and currency values to screw the USA out of its wealth.
Prices of gas was stable in the 60s but last yrs 68 then 69 one cent higher a gallon to 33 from 31 cents. Then 1970 boom no more stability, it kept going up every year since staying with opec 1970s oil issues. With it came opportunists from places like japan. and American car makers should of been on it, to keep prices down, making them lighter and getting more mileage and with less mechanical problems. Gas economical cars started coming in at lower cost, less maintenance issues, better mileage.
Iran has been the epicentre of trouble in the world since 1979…….and the people are desperate to get out from under islams boot….If Trump helps bring an end..he will have done the world a huge favour.
What is going on in the world is the failure of global socialism, (globalization) sold to the US people as fair trade, and a strong dollar is good for the country, competition is good for America, remember Larry dumb as a stump Kudlow saying that every day?
Margaret Thatcher said socialism is fine until you run out of other peoples money to spend. Note the USA ran out of money back in 1970. Even befor 1970 Europeans were cashing in US Fed Notes for Gold at $34 when it was selling for $140/oz. We cut them off on that in 1971 so they started off shoring our manufacturing businesses.
All our leaders after JFK did absolutely nothing. (excerpt Trump) They put in their eight years and just went with the flow of the USA being the good guy of the planet. Meanwhile good guys finish last, thats the USA. Plus the dumb ass system has been running like a game. Well all games come to an end.
Maybe gold but silver is needed a lot more now than then. The problem with housing is too many boomers especially certain cities that are currently going down hill have this attitude ” I got mine, you get yours, I don’t care.” Before the..people did care and how it would affect their neighborhoods, resources, schools, hospitals and jobs as well owning property prices so they could afford to retire someday and have something to pass on. Another reason for needing raises. But what do they do, open borders and give them free everything just not Americans. They don’t want that anyways they want their own homes.
I remember those catalogued as well as designer companies. From the people of the 1800 to 1900 it was a bigger deal. People dressed better then. Buying store bought was bragging rights. Getting things on sale and paying less than someone else was too. I had a great grandmother who was a designer so I had mixed feelings. Why spend that much money when you can make it yourself if you liked it or make your own clotbs. They steal designs from people, they stole from me too although wasn’t I’m it much except for kids and dolls because medical wasn’t a cocktail party. Point is store bought became a big deal. Kinda like gold and silver today lol excise typos.
Well, of course they are. I’d like Iran to fall as much as anyone else, but not using U.S. troops to assist. They are not Venezuela.
The neocons like Lindsay Graham and of course Netanyahu have been pushing for our involvement in Iran for years now. If he does go into Iran, he will have completely abandoned his true MAGA base.
Going back 5 trading days … first notice day on the January contract saw 4,583 contracts or 22.9 million oz stand for delivery. That was the highest in comex history for an inactive contract. In fact, that total surpasses many previous active month contracts during 2023 and 2024:
Thanks for the comeback. If everything is in reverse, eventually the system would gradually go back to a gold standard. Where a tiny bit of real money can go a long way.
In a real money system like a hundred years ago, people putting their saving or hoarding gold or silver won’t hurt the public at all. Plus the hoarding or saving AU and AG would drive the values up, and over times less and less money would be needed to buy things.
You would never have to ask for a raise. In fact from 1800 to 1934 prices we slightly lower over time. If you had an old Sears Catalogue you would not need a new one every year.
