https://www.gasbuddy.com/Station/106892 $1.20 a gallon. A blast from the past: https://www.redstate.com/diary/williamjameson/2011/01/20/obamas-energy-sec-wants-7-to-9-unleaded-gas-prices/ Chu said he favors gradually ramping up gasoline taxes over 15 years to nudge consumers into buying cars that are more fuel efficient and homes which are closer to work. Chu spoke with The Wall Street Journal in September but the newspaper did not publish the gas tax comments until last seek, shortly after the Nobel-prize winning physicist had been identified as Obama’s nominee for Energy secretary. The president-elect acknowledges that gas prices have come down since the summer when they reached $4 per gallon. He worries, however, that the overall economic downturn makes American families ill-equipped to shoulder higher prices. “I can imagine in the hearings Chu facing problems because he dares say, ‘higher prices,’” said Schipper. “But I think there is no solution that does not involve higher prices.” Schipper, who shared a lab at Berkeley with Chu from 1972-74, estimates that the average cost of gasoline in Europe at present is somewhere between $7-9 per gallon.

Oh sure, go back to paper bags made from pulp that partially comes from dead fall in the forests. How would we feed our forest fires if we got rid of all the dead trees laying around? -

Reusable bags should be banned permanently. They should be called "Save The Germs Bags" or "Petri Dishes With A Handle". -
The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency
3rdnlng replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The MSM is so fearful of the public, hearing for themselves what Trump actually says, that they now want to shut down the broadcasting of his briefings and interpret those briefings to the public. They have become pathetic. -

If it cuts down the ventilator time for a patient then it throws all of calculations regarding the need for additional ventilators out the window. -

Sounds like a "don't throw me in the brier patch" scenario. Iceland got its name to make it sound unattractive to people who didn't know better. -

Imitation is the purest form of flattery. Your continued use of "snowflake" is an admission that you and your ilk have no originality. -

What possessed you to bring up this briefing by Grand Wizard Trump who spoke out against the benevolent Antifa and Occupy Democrats in the worst clash of cultures since the Beverly Hillbillies met Jane Hathaway and Milburn Drysdale? -

Don't worry. My next trick will be to get him to count backwards from 99. It'll be a race to see if he falls asleep before he ***** it up. -
