At ten bucks a gallon that rivian pickup looks REAL good.No doubt in my mind this guys is senile and someone else is running the show. Gas to $10. Thanks Biden, very cool!

Can we agree this mf is the worst president in HISTORY?At ten bucks a gallon that rivian pickup looks REAL good.
That's a stretch. Definitely not the best, but blaming him for the entirety of the current gas woes is missing the issue, much like the afghan pullout.Can we agree this mf is the worst president in HISTORY?
He appears as senile as TrumpNo doubt in my mind this guys is senile and someone else is running the show. Gas to $10. Thanks Biden, very cool!

Just sharpie out the nuclear fallout. Only affects Europe guys. Go over throw em some paper towels and call it a day.No.
**Hoover, Harding, Nixon, Pierce, Buchanan, and Andrew Johnson have entered the chat.**
God forbid we try to be students of history and contextualize things a bit. It's almost like I tried to talk about something similar to this for nerd fun in the past or something...
Big grain of salt, but I think the following list isn't terribly far off. I definitely think Reagan, Obama, and W are ranked substantially higher than they should be and Trump, Ford, LBJ, and Carter should be bumped up several spots each as well.

Also, there is a large part of me that sincerely believes if Trump was still in office there is a greater-than-zero chance we would have had mushroom clouds, fade to black, and end credits already in this same situation.

You know those dudes from that old doomsday prepper show on discovery or nat Geo or whatever it was on have been in a constant state of edging for like the last 3 years. They gotta seriously be in some pain right now.

Imagine trying to throw a check out party and boom, employer says nope you got work tomorrow, denied. Interesting

Digital currency that your employer/government can restrict what you buy with it. Maybe I’m stupid but if you can get restricted from buying flights like his example, they could restrict a lot more.I don’t get it
When I worked at an airline ppl used to bang out then fly somewhere. Like their employer couldn’t see their reservation in the systemDigital currency that your employer/government can restrict what you buy with it.

Just like in China. If you were to criticize the government they’ll flag your account and prohibit you from taking the bus to get you to work or buy gas to fuel your vehicle to get to work. Anything they don’t like they could just block you from doing every day life things.Digital currency that your employer/government can restrict what you buy with it.

It's almost like the things I've been warning about for years in these threads is finally starting to become evident to the common folk. Like I've been saying all along, maxing out your TSP if you have 10+ years to retirement won't do you any good because it doesn't matter how much money you have on paper at the end of the day, what matters is how much you can buy with the money. By the time you can touch those dollars assuming we even still transact in dollars by then, you'll be lucky if your TSP covers the cost of one years worth of your current standard of living. The dollar will be worthless in due time. The Fed is trapped and can't raise interest rates or reduce it's balance sheet without completely imploding the fake bubble economy as inflation continues to decimate everyone who isn't a wealthy property owner. Every commodity is on an absolute tear right now which translates into accelerating food and energy costs. Meanwhile, equities are still taking a huge hit on all that geopolitical risk that isn't going away any time soon. Can't even hide out in crypto after the government announces their new crypto policies later this week likely aimed at targeting cryptos use in avoiding all their newly imposed sanctions.
The crazy thing is we're just getting started and on top of that, the USD is actually catching a bid and is relatively strong against other currencies as it's being sought out as a safe haven. But one day everyone will eventually wake up and realize the dollar isn't worth the digital paper it's "printed" on and then it is really going to be the end times for the American standard of living. But yeah, go ahead and BTFD! Stonks always go back up. Shiiit I wish the TSP integrate and ARKK fund so I can entrust my entire retirement portfolio to the genius fund manager that is Cathie Wood. She's only in the midst of a 60% drawdown from the highs. What a bargain!

Seems like a great time to reduce our dependance on oil if you ask me. I find the people who want to bitch and moan about high gas prices being the same people who are rabidly against getting away from it not only laughable but incredibly disengenous. Like ya slap that "I did this" Biden sticker on the pump, but what's your opinion on the green new deal, mandated efficiency standards, expanded public transportation, offering people incentives to go electric, etc?
