Kind of hard to do if you work at a computer. I'm about to need glasses unfortunately. I'm 47 and my eyes finally are going to shite after having 20/20 most of my life. Oh well, made it longer than most :lol:

Good news. I know it gets hate on here, but I enjoy going on occasion. Pizza, beer, and a jukebox, I’m happy.
I like it too. They said they are going to renovate the inside. I always found the dirty, dinginess part of the charm :lol:

So energy costs have no affect on the end user costs of consumer products?
Man, I literally have acknowledged in every post that I understand that it has impact on input costs for everything, but I do think that relative to the inflation of everything else, over the same time period, and on average (because it's a semi-volitile commodity), that it's remained relatively cheap related to other goods.
If your state government bends you over on it than you voted for that. Gas is as cheap today, relative to inflation, as it was 32 years ago when I started buying it.

So the price of a car, the price of car/home insurance, the price of car repairs, the price of building materials, the price of steel and concrete, the price of groceries, the price of appliances, etc. have nothing to do with the price of oil/energy?
You can't be serious
I acknowledged that gas prices have an input cost, but do I think that's why an XLT 150 8 years ago cost 33k and now it costs 50k? I'd say it's pretty damn close to 0% relevant. Gas was about the same price in 2017 or damn close relative to inflation.

Gas and oil.
I'd assume that's all an input into gas prices. It's still right in-line with inflation or lower when I think about the price when I started driving in 1993. Outside of temporary spikes, I could bitch about a million things costing way more now than gas prices.

Right, but is the current price expensive relative to 30 years ago? Not really. It might even be cheaper.

Gas is pretty cheap here. Honestly, not really an expense that I think much about.
I realize it's an input cost, but how much are y'all really spending on it relative to other things that are way more expensive now? Gas is probably about flat with inflation for the past 30 years imo, if not lower.

I just don't want us involved. I'm tired of the US fighting other country's wars. I want zero American lives at risk over this.

There is no such thing as a "trans girl". If it has a Y chromosome, it's a dude. Nothing can change that.

Even if you are left wing loon the answer should be no. Do you want minor league pitchers going against your 11 yr old's little league team? Pretty much the same thing.
Imagine Jared Jones hitting that big arse ball with 200 ft foul poles and some chick throwing 70mph. Almost every pop-up would be a HR :lol:

The scenery and weather would be awesome to me, but it's becoming too much of a California east from a political standpoint. There are other states with mountains that aren't like that.

Anderson isn't unhittable, but he might be the 1st college pitcher taken. MLB has him going 3rd. Root is #43.
I do think Arkansas has a better lineup than we do, but they also always choke in Omaha.

And if we gave it to every person in the country, assuming we could even afford it, there would be massive incentive to have more kids if you are poor :lol:

People on UBI will just be the equivalent of the current welfare/food stamp class with a meager, subsistence existence.

Yep. We might be forced to finally entertain the idea of universal basic income.
Paying every American even something like 20k/yr would be slightly larger than the entire federal budget today.
That's every person, even kids. I've never seen a scenario where this is realistic. Who is going to be consuming all of these goods and services if we have 25% unemployment?
