Nothing like a 215 HP oil leaking V8 that will do the 1/4 in 17 seconds.
Manager - it is hard sometimes to put up with a spoiled workforce, but outside of that it is easy. Just make sure everyone adheres to the rules and gives an honest day’s work and chill put from there.

I got news for you- it doesn’t matter what the hell is being used to power vehicles energy companies are gonna get theirs and we the consumer are gonna grin and bear it.


You and the rest of us are so spoiled to the modern lifestyle we are able to live because of cheap energy.

Does it cost a decent amount? Yeah, but we still have enough money to buy $80,000 vehicles that use a tom of it. We still fly across the country at a whim. We still are able to put kids in private school and travel ball year round.

You need to realize how cheap the energy is that we get and the insane amount of money that oil companies spend to extract it. Like another poster said, it is cheaper than milk. Which one is more important to the world every day? Easy choice.
What is the solution for the aviation industry? Don’t think electric motors and batteries will outperform hydrocarbons anytime soon.
Oil will still be here 100 years from now. We are no where near a better and more economical replacement.

Nothing new - Ali / Foreman was decided with this tactic.
Probably 95% of this board doesn’t even understand what the difference between HEU and normal Uranium. Why the difference matters for a nuclear bomb and why we should or shouldn’t be concerned.

None of us know his heart. What we see of Trump on camera is a carefully crafted persona that he has been developing his entire adult life.


Nothing about his persona should be described as careful. He is very much the opposite.
Easy answer - which one most closely aligns with the teaching of Jesus and what he asked us to do in our lives. That aint Trump!
Question some of those numbers, greatly exaggerated.

Think my favorite is Guardians 2

Guardians 1 and 3 behind it. Just love the mood, music and comedy of all 3. Drax is so stupid, but he just makes me ??.
I still can’t believe no Aliens or Raiders of the Lost Ark. 2 of the most enjoyable, entertaining, and rewatched movies of all time.

Whether you wear a suit or work a trade, housing is more expensive


There is a big reason why it is so much more expensive. Majority of people are building houses much more elaborate than what the average homeowner had in the past. The starter houses that people were grateful to have in the past would be laughed at now by most people. The houses built nowadays have so many things that aren’t needed and are just a way for people to show off. Goes hand in hand with the $80,000 vehicles.

With all that said people aren’t starving and are doing fine.

you live in an area infested with govt leeches? are you one?


No I have been blessed to maintain a good job and be able to provide more than what is needed for my family of 6.

But you could describe large portions of my state as an area infested as you say.

Not where I live. Plenty of support from the government to have kids.

Cost of living?

Posted by aib799 on 3/19/26 at 3:30 pm
I continue to hear about how the government needs to work to bring the cost of living down. While I can agree the costs are too high for a lot of things I don’t get the argument that people are suffering because of it. Everywhere I look I see people continuing to make large purchases and spending money pretty freely.

Maybe it is just me, but in the relatively poor area of Louisiana that I live, everyone seems to be doing just fine.
