https://econbrowser.com/archives/2014/06/gasoline-price-calculator Calc from the early tweens but what has changed? calc explainer: “The price of gasoline and price of Brent turn out to be cointegrated, meaning that any permanent change in the price of Brent eventually shows up as a permanent change in the price of gasoline. The coefficients of the above relation are very much what you'd expect. A barrel holds 42 gallons, and the estimated coefficient (0.025) is 1/40. The intercept (0.84) captures an average state and federal tax of 50 cents per gallon plus a bit over 30 cents in markups and other costs.” At 111.48, the implied price should be $3.62. Why is the national average $4.81? I’m no economist, I just believe in the power of corporate gouging during these trying times to squeeze us like lemon rinds.
catching up on this thread so assume someone else has mentioned it but you and your ilk is big part of why we are where we are
she’s a disgusting human her chuckling on a podcast about how she smoked in the 90s (while once more lying bc the album she claimed to be listening to wasn’t out yet) was fucking repulsive considering all the people she locked up as AG and DA for the same “crime” i realize we do this with every election but i stg if she’s the nominee in 2024 (which she will bc uhhh the dems folks) i will not vote and anyone that shames me can kick rocks
The issue isn’t the availability of oil, it is the availability of refining capacity. We have the proper amount of oil, but because of Russia’s war, some global refiners are off line / not available for western purchase. A similar event is during covid, we had enough chickens, but all the factory workers couldn’t turn the chickens into the stuff you buy in a grocery store at the desired rate because people were sick.
Amazon prime has to keep churning out Chris Pratt content I will forget the entire plot of in under four months.
Reminder that there is no future society under conservatism, except paranoid kings waving their guns at the bones of the people he needed to eat/purge to stop whatever paranoid goals he ascribed to them
I think it is actually a positive that she is so unappealing in both substance and charisma. That way she functions as a hatred sponge on the right, but even if the DNC wanted to clear the field for her it is basically impossible. Watch Joe Biden die next week, and fascism here we come.
I apparently live under the most massive rock because I had no idea Pratt was a chud. And his brother is a sheriff and proud 3% https://news.yahoo.com/brother-actor-chris-pratt-tied-192912797.html
it was Jeff Bezos riding space mountain by himself with a caption that was basically “imagine being able to eradicate poverty for billions and doing this instead.”
While the lawsuit alleged the distributors created a public nuisance, Faber said West Virginia’s Supreme Court has only applied public nuisance law in the context of conduct that interferes with public property or resources. He said to extend the law to cover the marketing and sale of opioids “is inconsistent with the history and traditional notions of nuisance.” People can't expect to be protected by the same law that protects property. A lesson as as apple pie and mass shootings
