Gas Prices Highest in 7 Years

[danielpalos]

Dem politicians are taking a skim on 'green' government spending, start there. Nobody will pay the jacked up price of 'green' unless gas prices double or triple, hence the Dems energy policy idiocy and support for oil pipeline projects in other countries while closing ours. Government corruption at its finest, politicians get rich while the poor and middle class suffer.

I believe you’re missing the surge in popularity of electric vehicles not to mention solar panels on homes, so called “green energy” alternative ARE catching on and at price points the market is willing to pay.

Unfortunately the Democrats are completely off base in that if they just let the market and technology move forward without massive legislative interference we’ll actually make progress towards their stated environmental goals. As you said though, they’re looking at this as a way to get some “skim” instead of looking at the practicalities of how economies transition organically.

If they're so popular, Foxie...then why do we need to subsidize their sale price with incentives from Government? It's only a "price point" that the market is willing to pay because Government is making that happen!

Due to the environmental savings; government subsidy means we should get more of it sooner rather than later and definitely sooner than any private sector venture could it on their own.

Here's a dose of reality, Daniel! If you want it to cost twice as much...and take three times as long to complete...let the Government do it! How do you not know this? Are you really that clueless?

Not all labor is permanent, full-time career personnel. Some people just need a job. We don't have it now because there is no profit motive for capitalists. All we really need is for Congress to command the economy to upgrade it.

From 1978 to 2018, CEO compensation grew by 1,007.5% (940.3% under the options-realized measure), far outstripping S&P stock market growth (706.7%) and the wage growth of very high earners (339.2%). In contrast, wages for the typical worker grew by just 11.9%.

Government projects only cost TWICE as much and take THREE times as long?

Hmmm...When did all these dramatic improvements in government efficiency happen? I missed have missed that.

It takes longer and costs more for Government due to the not-for-profit concern for our environment. Many disasters in the private sector are due to capitalists trying to maximize profit by cutting costs.

 

[danielpalos]

Democrats own high gas prices. Their policies under their watch.

The spike in gas prices isn’t policy driven, it’s supply driven as a direct result of a cyberattack on a major gas pipeline, or is it your contention that Democrat policies caused the cyberattack?

It would be a different story if Crime Family-D had actually enacted some policie(s) that was/were directly correlated to the current price increases but as far as I know they haven’t. I guess you could credit the ARA with increased demand to some degree but so far it doesn’t look like market analysts aren’t giving that much weight.

The cyberattack has nothing to do with current higher gas prices...

Why do you think that?

The prices were already rising. In other words, it’s not as if gas prices were not rising or not higher than last year and the cyber attack was the sole cause.

Thanks. But, some reporters were reporting price inflation on virtually a daily basis during the breach.

It was something my Dad used to tell me, Foxie! Of course that was years ago and I haven't seen any improvements either! Daniel thinking that the Government can do it better is rather amusing.

Nobody trusts Capitalism when it really matters. It is why Congress can command our economy simply because, Government is Socialism.

Reporters said that the protests in 2020 were peaceful. What’s your point?

It's concern for the environment that makes it cost twice as much and take three times as long when the Government does something? That's a laugh. It's because it's done by Civil Servants...people who can't get fired no matter how bad their job performance is! It's because it's not THEIR money so they don't really care if they have massive budget overruns!

Ah yes...another "Daniel Post"! Gibberish that makes no sense at all.

It takes longer and costs more for government to do anything than it would take in the private sector due to inefficiency, bureaucracy, incompetence, and corruption in government, they don't have shareholders and customers to answer to and on the rare occasions where somebody points it out, they just pin the blame on "the other party".

As far as capitalism goes, it's a rarity anymore in the U.S., what we have is primarily CRONY capitalism whereby private enterprise uses political patronage and influence peddling as a tool to enable anti-competitive and market distorting behaviors while at the same time sticking their noses in the public trough. Don't blame private enterprise though, it's our elected boys & girls that are SELLING the favors and making it more profitable to lobby politicians than to invest in capital formation.

The shade tree mechanic, the dope dealer, garage/yard sales, and the guy selling eggs and vegetables at the farmer’s market are the last vestiges of the free market you will likely ever encounter in your lifetime.

I agree to disagree. Nobody trusts capitalism when it really really matters.

I trust Capitalism just fine, it's the greatest creator of wealth & prosperity for the largest number of individuals that humankind has ever seen. It's when it's distorted by rent-seekers, looters, corrupt politicians, and other forms of low life miscreants that it becomes a problem.

If you are an American you have the luxury of one of the highest per-capita standards of living in Human History THANKS TO CAPITALISM.

Only if you ignore all of the socialism FDR used to upgrade our previously, relatively third world economy to the first world economy we have now.
