Was there ever a better time for a viable 3rd party or independent candidate?easyrider16 wrote: ↑Feb 16th, '24, 15:45 What the F... talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
I really wish a 3rd party were viable in our political system because both of these choices suck.
A huge crowd of faculty members who teach at Columbia University in New York held a mass walk-out on Monday afternoon to protest the institution having called police to arrest students at a pro-Palestinian encampment protest last week.
Hundreds of members of the teaching cohort at Columbia walked out in solidarity with the students who were arrested by the New York police department last week and also suspended by the university.
The solidarity protest came as students put protest tents back up in the middle of campus on Monday after they were torn down last week when more than 100 arrests were made.
The university on Monday morning announced that classes would be held remotely after further days of unrest on the New York campus, following the arrest of pro-Palestinian protesters there last week.
In case you haven't noticed gas prices go up every spring and then start to tail off sometime after 7/4. This has been true every year that I've been coming up and can be confirmed by our resident energy expert Bubba.easyrider16 wrote: ↑Mar 6th, '24, 10:45
I think there's a good chance gas prices start going up again. If China's economy turns around, and demand starts going up, that's probably what will happen. If it does, it could mean bad things for Biden.
Normal price increases as refineries do their turnarounds and convert to summer blends. Nothing new. Price increases generally end by Memorial Day and start coming down soon thereafter. After that it’s related to tropical storms, which will clearly be the result of Biden and Democrat policies.G-smashed wrote: ↑Apr 22nd, '24, 17:14In case you haven't noticed gas prices go up every spring and then start to tail off sometime after 7/4.

I actually never noticed this, but I was talking more about larger, longer-term price moves than seasonal fluctuations. In any case it is now looking like China's needs are going to be met by Russian oil, as they've just hit a record for imports. Which illustrates an issue with sanctions. You can sanction Russia all you want but so long as they can sell their oil to other people who aren't participating in your sanctions regime, they're fine. Also demonstrates how little control we have over prices for a global commodity like oil.Bubba wrote: ↑Apr 22nd, '24, 19:09Normal price increases as refineries do their turnarounds and convert to summer blends.

Guaranteed the Chinese are buying Russian oil at quite the discount to world oil prices.easyrider16 wrote: ↑Apr 23rd, '24, 08:01I actually never noticed this, but I was talking more about larger, longer-term price moves than seasonal fluctuations.

I do, that was pretty stupid of him. Remember when Trump had his minions storm the capitol building? That was even more stupid.
