I said over a year and a half ago that the Fed was going to be restructured and defanged -- we're seeing it now. No one is really reporting on it, which is odd considering the apparent enormity of the shift. 

 

Good times ahead.

or...

 

the collapse of the USD. 

 

and if it collapses, in my opinion, we will then see a bifurcated dollar. it's worth on the world stage and it's worth within our borders.

 

as an aside, in the original bill that was initially rejected, it contained language describing, which unmistakably described a crypto USD.

Canadian Drillers Face Nightmare Scenario As Oil Crashes To $5

 

The U.S. shale patch laments oil prices in the low $20s crippling companies with already weakened debt and liquidity profiles. But further north, the outlook for Canada’s oil patch is even gloomier. Hit by the pandemic-driven demand shock and the price war-induced supply shock, Canadian oil prices have already crashed to below US$10 a barrel.

The same will be true of solar, whose viability  relies solely on expensive oil.

Why is gas over $3 per gallon still here in CA. Hey pretty boy Gavin. We never got the results of your investigations in to the high gas prices.  What did you find out?  We didn’t forget.  He said he would investigate last April.  And then again in October and not one ***** person (other than me as far as I know) has called him out on it. When he announced this in October no one said “Wait!  What happened to your investigation in the spring?  ?

$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.

Combine the tax with CA regulations regarding formulation, etc.

About $.80 in state and federal taxes and fees per gallon.  

 

And this is one good thing about the virus.  I don't drive nearly as much and the few times I've gone to the office there is no traffic so my mileage has been great so I'm spending a lot less on gas.

  Given the loons you have running state government out there don't be surprised if CA tries to take more in gas tax in a move redistribute money in the CA economy.

Here in the hot zone we pay 2.05. across the river in PA, they pay 2.55. 

  South of Rochester, NY it is 2.05-2.30 per gallon for 87 grade.  Last I knew state and federal tax was around a quarter but that could have certainly changed.
