don't care at this point. those of us rooted in reality have long turned the page. they are now the problem of the criminal justice system.

I should have included to riot and maybe kill politicians....because there were certainly at least some individuals who showed up with that as their end game.
But law enforcement investigation has shown that for the vast majority of people there, even those who broke the law and broke into the Capitol and vandalized stuff, that there was no large scale coordinated effort to "overthrow the government".
I know it sounds sexy, and i am sure you didn't read the articles I posted with facts and commentary from the investigations, but their end game in storming the Capitol wasn't to "overthrow the government".

Re: Violence
Coup d'état, also called coup, the sudden, violent overthrow of an existing government by a small group. The chief prerequisite for a coup is control of all or part of the armed forces, the police, and other military elements.

This arguing over semantics is really old. Anything more interesting to discuss?

We argue over semantics all the time around here.
We could go back to the weed thread and see how much Ousdahl spent at the dispensary?

Re: Violence
are you saying that it is to our advantage that it costs considerably more today for a tank of gas? how so?
interesting position.
interesting position.
Re: Violence
What exactly is it that causes the price of gas (or most things, really) to go up or down?
I think you'll find that if you begin there, and follow where it leads, you might - might - figure out just how ridiculously stupid the "gas prices are higher under Biden" Q trope is.
Re: Violence
i'll take that as a yes. you favor higher prices.
you probably favor todays dow. to each his own.

Re: Violence
I favor businesses being more open than a year ago and people traveling more than a year ago and thusly, more demand for gas. I do not favor oil companies looking to recoup lost revenue from last year by creating fake shortages to drive up cost.

Re: Violence
The loosening of COVID restrictions globally in recent months has led to a rapid recovery in global demand for crude oil that has exceeded the expectations of all of the “experts” on the subject, leading to a tightening of global crude markets;
Strong discipline among the OPEC+ nations related to their agreement to limit exports has also played a major role in tightening the relationship between global supply and demand;
The U.S. election has also obviously played a big role here. Since last November 3, the average price per gallon of regular gasoline in the U.S. has skyrocketed by 75 cents. The markets clearly see the Biden/Harris administration as one that will work to inhibit U.S. oil production, which will also have the effect of tightening the global market, and traders have responded by driving up the price of crude oil;
Refinery maintenance and the changeover to summer gasoline blends. This is a factor that I tend to write about every year at this time. Gas prices have continued to rise even as crude prices have dropped over the past week mainly due to the fact that March and April are the time of year in which many U.S. refineries are taken offline for annual maintenance and all refiners are switching from manufacturing a handful of winter blends of gasoline to the dozens of summer blends required by the EPA. This changeover invariably raises the costs of both refining and transportation of gasoline, and that is always worked into gas prices during these months.

Re: Violence
Gas prices where I live have increased all the way up to back where they were in late 2014.
