Don't settle. Take it all the way.

Why is a PS5 re-tread console going for so much?

I’m not a PS guy, but that seems ridiculous.

Is it even worth getting the Xbox if there’s just going to be another one in a year?

Do you like to have physical copies of your games? If so, there's no guarantee there will be physical games on next gen. PS already said they won't have a disc drive on the next console. XBOX and Nintendo have so far not said they will follow suit, but they could.

If having physical games is something you don't care about, I'd argue that waiting for next gen is smarter at this point, but it looks like the next consoles will be coming in somewhwere around $1000-$1500.

I'm glad Nate Oats doesn't listen to the pitchfork mob. He understands people can make mistakes and they don't deserve to be punished for life for it. Especially when it's your first time ever screwing up. He already missed the NCAA tourney, was banned from campus, and now will miss the exhibition games and the first two regular season games. That's plenty enough for such a non-violent mistake.

I think this situation would have played out the same at literally any University. The odd ones are the people pretending otherwise.

We all know that Bama fans would allow Holloway to rape their wife and kids if it meant a Natty in basketball and/or a win over Florida. It would be just "taking one for the team", then said fans could use the word "we" when referring to Alabama sports. If that were me, I would get 10 years and a $15K fine. But then again, I did not win the genetic lottery and play for someone's favorit eteam.

It's a first time, nonviolent, drug offense. You will have a hard time finding young people who weren't treated exactly like this for a first time, nonviolent, drug offense.

That's true. Everyone involved in that situation is sitting in jail and not on the team.

But man, that sounds like such an easy W for the right.

You'd think, but "the right" has been pushing for more capacity, and removing roadblocks, for as long as I can remember. As long as Democrats are going to take power every 4-8 years and immediately undo everything, it makes no sense for companies to invest in more infrastructure.

Why would we not want a good amount of refineries?

The climate change scam has been effective.

Why hasn’t the rightwing pols tried to fix the refinery issue?

Why haven’t they made it a massive issue?

“Hey, want lower gas prices and more jobs? Let us tell ya something..”

---

If you are in the board room at an oil company, would you build more refineries when you know the morons in the USA are just going to vote every few years against the very people who support your ability to maintain for refineries?

It's simple math here. As long as Democrats are willing to shut down refineries when they gain even the slightest bit of power, and people are stupid enough to vote for this or stay home because the best candidate isn't perfectly aligned with everything those people believe in, it makes no sense to build more refineries.

Total global oil production since 1970 is up 113%. (And U.S. production has nearly tripled since 2008.)

Yet the total number of US refineries in 2026 is 130, down from 319 in 1980. During that time, demand for gasoline has increased significantly because our population grew by an additional 100 million people.

You can pump all the crude oil you want, but if you can’t convert it into gasoline and diesel, it doesn’t matter, at least not for gas prices.

Why did this happen? Because blue states closed refineries to move toward stupid "Net Zero" and "Green New Deal" goals. And Democrat Presidents from Carter to Biden imposed restrictions on refinery construction so draconian that no one could afford to build...if they could even get a permit.

But sure, blame Trump, the first President to actually do something about it. Instead, elect the people who TOLD YOU they wanted to "ban fossil fuels" and push the price of gas over $10/gal., and then relentlessly implemented policies to get us as far in that direction as they could.
