Every time it goes up, you see more small cars on the road. Eventually people will get used to rubbing shoulders when they're driving. Over in Europe you really do see 4 250 lb guys with wide shoulders stuck in a Fiat or cars like it.
We really are the only nation that has such a high average...
Up to 3.05 in Colorado. Cost an extra 90 cents to fill up over what it cost last week at this time. Going to fill the Suburban up today. I actually have to pay for the gas on that one. By the time the Burb needs more gas it will probably be up to 3.99 a gallon.
We need a Dr Seuss bicycle.
Your very welcome. Always happy to help people out when suffering from unfounded fear. Of course if you live in Georgia you might want to start a recall petition for the clown that wrote the bill.
I feel sorry for the people that don't live in an HOA neighborhood and don't have enough money to get by. I also feel sorry for people that live in HOA communities for the same reason. Got news for everyone. We're all in this together.
I expect 4.00 a gallon gas by summer. Then after people...
Things are getting better for some people. I talk to a lot of people in different parts of the metro area in the course of my job. A lot of them are 6 figure salary types. In August of 2008 when we were losing 760,000 jobs per month at the height of the collapse, I saw a lot of these 6 figure...
What do you do that you need 360 qts of oil, just curious. What is off road diesel as opposed to regular diesel?
I lived in Calif during the 1978 oil crunch. They had odd/even days depending on the last digit of your license plate. There used to be intersections all over the place that had a...
My spring cleaning is sweeping the garage real well and washing the windows so we can see the mountains better. I already cleaned the closets for income tax time. Found all my papers and got them organized.
Funny you call them Whole Paycheck. Went there with DW one time. After I got done navigating through all the BMW and Benz SUV's I saw the prices and understood why all the cars in the lot belonged to the upper 2% of the US population. :(
Which natural foods chain was it that had their founder and CEO get busted in a child porn sting this week? Sun Valley or something like that.
How does the GMO stuff fit in with the organic stuff anyway?
Yeah. That's whats wrong with it now. they just do it all on paper with I believe a 10% down payment. So they don't really have much skin in the game but they make out like bandits and drive prices on commodities sky high. Hopefully they will change that some day. I doubt it though. Same reason...
The really sad part is that the oil prices are going up because of speculators. The speculators control the cost of commodities these days.
We love democracy, but it has a negative impact on our country when the Mid East countries start fighting for it. Makes it hard for us to control the...
I really don't think the currency thing would work. Mostly because we are a nation made of states. Each state supplies different stuff. So the states would all have to do commerce with each other. Having different currencies just wouldn't work. It could have in the very beginning, but back then...
Where is he proposing to get the gold from to back up their currency? Amazing how stupid politicians are. Looks good until someone thinks about it. They should just secede and grow cotton.
To answer your question. It's a stupid idea. Things get tight and the state politicians start trying to...
