imo it tolls for main street, wall street makes higher margins on chaos & main street pays for the inflation.

*tolkien has entered the chat*

guy that barely survived WW1 & then went about fantasy world building on a herculean scale, most likely motivated by catharsis but denied it b/c he didn't want his work to be narrowly defined as personal.

As the world is learning that most fertilizer is made from methane (natural gas/LNG) it will be interesting if the discussion of making fertilizer from green hydrogen (localized production using water and electricity) gets more attention.

20% of the worldโ€™s oil supply has stopped moving: bigger than every previous crisis in history combined.
Brent crude is heading toward $300. Gas, food, heating bills, everything is about to get dramatically more expensive for ordinary people worldwide.
Trump owns this and we pay the price.

TACOs by the end of March are my hope & prediction.
I'm guessing the drumpf regime is already working on a ceasefire that will be marketed as mission accomplished.

is it really fear of the yumpy emperor?
or just the fear of having to find a real job if they had any self-respect?

considering the source, affordability & inflation in the current context can be construed as *just* gas prices.

The mindset & belief of white supremacy wasn't expunged after the Civil War, that's our ongoing challenge, with the short-term absolute necessity of ousting drumpf & his regime.

I think you continue to conflate or confuse corporate or conservative US culture with the prevalent beliefs of the entire country.
I could state a lot of categorical things about the Australian government as indicative of all Australians, but I know better.

We in the US agree & understand that too.
He was elected TWICE.
Our country never dealt properly with the repercussions of slavery & the genocide of native americans, so this is the second rise of the southern confederacy (funded by billionaires) to re-segregate the country & return to colonialism.

mandatory public fed service for the first 2 yrs after you graduate HS, or from 18-20 YOA if you didn't graduate or graduated early.
it can be the military, peace corps, americorps, forest service, whatever, but everyone does it
w/o exception*.
we have to learn to care about people we don't know.

It would be one way to find out how many people still believe & will fight for democracy.
The complacency & apathy in this country can't continue.

His approval plummeted before this illegal war.
It's even worse now.
Be as angry as you like about drumpf & his nazi regime, the vast majority of us in the US are as well.
We're currently held hostage by the gop cowards in congress & the 6 corrupt justices in the supreme court.

Agreed on the military, the war crimes couldn't happen w/o some in the military being willing to follow illegal orders.
We've been marching in the streets protesting the dhs' illegal actions, the illegal war in Iran should be viewed the same or worse.
The gop is also fearing the elections this Nov.

The US people don't commit war crimes & the presidents that have didn't give any indication of that intention during their campaigns.
Many of us in the US have opposed all of this shat for decades.
