Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
If the cost of labor goes up at McDonalds they will increase their prices and pass it along to consumers. And they will get it. If the cost of lumber goes up, then the supply houses will pass that along to consumers and they will get their increases as well. That’s what happens will the costs of pr...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
In the commodities, yes supply and demand tend to influence price. In other industries, there are a number of factors that influence price and companies are free to set their own prices. Whether they get those prices is another thing. But if their costs go up, you can bet they will increase their p...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
No that is not what I said. Oil is a commodity. They sell at the market rate. They can influence the price via supply but they don’t set the price. Never said that. Learn to fucking read. If the Saudi’s seek to lower their production and lower the price, the US companies can seek to fill that gap w...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
So repost it and highlight the specific section. Oil companies don’t pay their shareholders with price or market share, they pay them cash based on profits. So if an oil company can increase profits by selling more at a lower price , that’s their motivation. Price isn’t the only thing that drives i...

Re: What’s going to happen to Trump Mon Mar 25 2024?
Anyone else notice how former National Enquirer Publisher David Pecker has been decimating Trump's case concerning Stormy Daniels and others, and Trump isn't spending all his time on Truth Social calling HIM a liar? Guess Pecker has something on Trump. I doubt that Trump's lawyers will say much to h...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
We're less than 20 years from peak oil. Increasing production will not make that better. Producing more oil has severe limitations. Crude, itself, is mostly useless. Refinement has limitations, specifically capacity. And, again, oil companies aren't going to produce in such a way it drastically low...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
Finite would be your ability to dictate the use of the English language. Finite can and often is a relative term. Not in this context. We're talking about things that, once they're gone, there's no replacing it. That would be oil. Not anything renewable. It's funny how "conservatives" wan...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
Yeah tell that to the builders who couldn’t buy lumber during Covid or to the folks who are starving in Africa. Resources are finite.

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
Yeah and technology will stand still and so will innovation. All resources are finite. Lithium for batteries is finite for example. Perhaps we should just go back to horses for transportation. At least that’s a renewable resource right? Gotta save them petroleum chemicals. Not all resources are fin...

Re: Even Liberal Democrats Don't Like Taxes
Or you can work this deal from both ends against the middle. Produce more and use less. Increase supply and lower demand. Which is stupid in the long run. Oil is a finite resource. It's used for far more than fuel. We should start thinking of saving it for future generations. Oh, right, conservativ...

Re: Tennessee VW voted UAW YES! by 3-1 margin.
I buy the vehicle that meets my needs. I would prefer to buy something made in the US but it’s not a deal breaker. Currently I drive a GMC diesel truck. I’m quite sure it’s assembled in the USA. As for the components, it’s probably a mixed bag. I’ve owned both foreign and donestic vehicles. We buy ...

Re: Tennessee VW voted UAW YES! by 3-1 margin.
Pay between most union and non-union auto manufacturers is roughly the same, within a few dollars. (can be location dependent). The difference is in benefits and pension. Those are good under UAW, certainly better than somewhere like Tesla. I'm not sure why it is that so many Americans are against ...

Trump threatened Zelensky with refusals for armament, refusal to help defend the country. Since he was so mad at Zelensky for not starting fake investigations of Biden, he may well have given Putin intelligence that Putin used to invade the Ukraine. But Glenn ignores all that, and doesn’t think Trum...
