  1. So the oil companies in California make $7.00 profit on a gallon of gas that sells for $5-6.00 a gallon. Got it.
  2. Yes, all we can do is redistribute wealth and pump that money into the housing market which will drive prices down!!! Section eight should be funded such that anyone wanting free/reduced rent should be accommodated, regardless of their rental or credit history. All landlords must be compelled to accept any tenant regardless of their rental or credit history. Any landlord not complying should have their property confiscated by the state and auctioned off with the proceeds used to help the victims.
  3. They take doctors to the crash-sites do declare people dead?
  4. I like when people disagree with me, and I love it when they change my mind. No they do not, They set their production levels, which impacts the price. And they generally cheat/sandbag when they do. Yes, this impacts the price, but what does this have to do with price gouging? I do not have much of an idea what you are trying to say with this. But generally, reducing production/volume pushes prices up. But that's not price gouging. I think Thais are pretty much like people everywhere. I thought they were part of Ptt. but I may be wrong.
  5. Typically the price is on the sign and you can see it before you stop. Buy it or don't. Some people think a particular brand is better than another and are willing to pay a premium for it, nothing wrong with that. Anyone remember the pumps here twenty years ago when Jiffy was the only stop with decent bathrooms and snacks with unexpired date-codes? I stopped at a pump on Rama 9 the other day that had air-conditioned bathrooms. Good, friendly service and nice facilities are worth paying a little more for.
  6. Yes, seriously. I assume you are just regurgitating something you heard or read. In any event, big oil does not set the price.
  7. Why not leave it exposed until you get it fingered out?
  8. How long has the wife been driving a standard?
  9. Exactly, this is how the January 6 committee was selected. For anything as critical as convicting Trump, the presumption of innocence must be ignored. There can be no dissenting views on the committee nor in the court.
  10. Everyone should know crossing the solid line is generally illegal, and I'm glad they are starting to enforce the law. Traffic has improved considerably with the line/camera in a few of the areas I drive regularly. The idea is often to keep people from blasting around everyone waiting in line, which I support. That someone gets "stuck" behind a slow moving truck is unfortunate, but given the length of the lines, how longdoes it really take to tough it out.
  11. What economic climate? Why do they not price-gouge all the time? What was stopping them before?
  12. So when do we expect the indictment? I'm betting mid-October...
  13. 6013 is very popular all-position rod. You can get better rods for specific applications, but if you only want to inventory one rod, 6013 is tough to beat.
  14. Did he say why it was underfunded? Do you think that the government pumping more money into the housing market will drive prices down?
  15. You mean the part about people that get evicted not qualifying? Why does he think it's something to joke about?
  16. A dedicated flux-core (or MIG) welder only needs controls for wire speed and voltage.
  17. So rather than push wages in the construction sector up to make it more attractive, we'll just import a few million more people to help keep wages down, and overtax our resources and then demand an increase in the minimum wage to keep us in power, it's brilliant! Anyways, weren't we led to believe they were all women and children? No? Yeah, now they're all construction workers.
  18. I do not think it's replacing the Avanza, I think the Avanza (on the "new" platform is still available in some markets.
  19. Biden will not run in 2024 nor will Trump. I only pray the dems run Harris with perhaps Newsom as VP. And when she wins she can bring in Willie Brown as her Chief of Staff!
  20. I would support outlawing all private jets, residential heating tofu production.
  21. I have had a few bikes, and while I would not consider it a "big bike", I think it safe to say a 350cc is generally much faster than a 100cc bike, and much more likely to driven as a road bike than Wave would be. That said, I would not consider a 600 a big bike either. Isn't that what I said? I understand how more power CAN keep you safer, do you not understand how much easier it is to die at 140 than at 60? I did not say that. Where do you come from that the kids going to school only drive as their parents allow? Most kids don't ride to school, so claiming Thais don't want the laws enforced because you see people breaking the law is ridiculous. But yes, you are right. Enforcing the law would not be popular with the people breaking the law. So explain your logic. You have a nice day as well.
