    There are lies, more lies, and then there is the data. Keep telling the hurting middleclass and poor, that they arent really hurting.

    You posted a link that clearly considers subsidizing heating oil, as a subsidy for big oil. YOU posted that. YOU did. Not me. Don't even start to pin this on me, like I posted your link. You did that. And you supported doing what your link cited as a direct subsidy for big oil. So you...

    So, you just admitted openly that you support subsidizing the oil industry, and I don't. So, there you go. You condemned yourself. You support subsidies for oil companies, and I don't.

    One of St. Louis’ tallest office buildings sells for only $3.6 million....2% of it's peak price

    Maybe. So hear me out... what if, one of the reasons why so many employees are demanding remote work policies, is because of all those other problems I just mentioned? They don't want to drive into work, because the cities are full of crime, and drugs and homeless? People leaving their cars...

    So in your own link, they include paying low income citizens with heating oil subsidies. That's money given to people like YOU to help pay their heating bills because they are poor. If Republicans and conservatives like me, pushed for a bill to eliminate all low income heating subsidies (Which...

    One of St. Louis’ tallest office buildings sells for only $3.6 million....2% of it's peak price

    But why? Why is commercial real estate crashing? Is it not because of bad policies like endless crime? I'm just asking, because I don't see that problem here, or in many cities around the country. It appears to be specifically in cities like LA/SF, Seattle, NYC, and Chicago, where they have...

    What is the goal of capitalism?

    No there isn't. When Walmart started their roasted chicken sales, they originally had no safe guards at all, specifically because they believed the government would do inspection, and prevent any problems. After a year of selling roasted chicken, they did a review and found only 3 inspections...

    California locomotive emission rules threaten BNSF’s proposed Barstow terminal

    I support this. Anything that harms California and drives it into bankruptcy I think is poetic justice.

    Companies Are Balking at the High Costs of Running Electric Trucks

    Yeah, the numbers simply don't add up. Then add in the fact that in extreme heat or cold, you lose 30% of your range. And then it takes a day to recharge the truck after taking a load. The more you look at the numbers verses limitations, the less and less it becomes viable. And no matter how...

    So the context of the conversation was that I was saying a tax deduction, is not a subsidy. A subsidy is when someone else must be taxed, and have their money taken and given to someone else. So when a company gets a tax deduction, that is not a subsidy. Obviously when someone is on food...

    Everyone has to pay for insurance, and everyone has to buy groceries.

    Yeah, I just had this happen with Donatos. I don't believe in banning tips. Tips are a brilliant system confined to their proper context. But this weird push to have tips on everything, is completely unacceptable. So I ordered a pizza online to my local store, and when the bill came up it...

    About a month ago, I went out to eat, and paid $5 for a handful of fries. I was so pissed about paying $5 for a tiny handful of fries.... I actually bought a tiny 2-liter fryer, and now I will go buy the burger for $6, and cook my own fries. Not sure if that was entirely wise or not, but it...

    Trump right again... We destroyed our economy for virtually nothing...

    What failed at what specifically. Be specific. Did he fail at quarantine? No. Did he fail at screening? No. You can't blame him for not doing something that no country in the world was able to do. If you could point to a specific policy that Nation X was able to put in place, that...
