    If you are driving a vehicle that requires 94 octane, I doubt the price of gas is a concern.

    My disagree. This one I bought for $6k that runs on 94 and I am concerned.

    Hell when a full tank goes from an average of $25 a tank of 87 to $45-$50 on our Element, I still feel the sting.

    Trump touts a safer America through securing the borders… With this appointment I’m not feeling safer….

    All three candidates for Mass. governor promise transparency. They also say they won’t release their tax returns.

    It’s just nice to see you finally admit that the Republicans are corrupt. We know you’re not getting out your vote for Maura…. And I take it you would never vote for a corrupt politician in the two other Republican candidates…… I take it you’re staying home this election cycle?

    I always vote for the republican if one is running. If not, I dont vote.

    If the Trumps say they have a great deal for you, run.

    Risking little of their own money, the US president and his sons have added at least $2.3 billion to the family fortune from their main crypto ventures, while the investors they've wooed have taken a $2.3 billion hit, a Reuters examination found.

    The communist party has a lock on mass. Americans can't win.

    Looks like we are in it for the long haul and another forever war.

    I don't know anybody who likes war or wants it.

    In the middle of this one, it sucks, for a lot of people, more than we realize.

    But this morning I was wondering if down the road, we might look back on this war and say it had to happen and the world is a better place because of it. Again, I don't know who wants war. If we look back at WWII, had the Allies not engaged and won, the world might be worse off. It just makes me think the end may justify the means.

    This is just thinking out loud... I don't know...

    Trump is now selling early access to his posts to wall street bankers and traders for $100,000/month. Trump family makes money, the financial industry makes money if they pay up,

    Trump threatens TV networks
    Speechless: Trump threatened to pull the broadcasting licenses for NBC and ABC after they and CNN did not air his speech in which he asserted that China interfered in the 2020 presidential campaign. Truth Social’s parent company might charge traders as much as $100,000 a month for faster access to the president’s posts.

    The profits of war

    Oil companies this week are set to report bumper second-quarter profits, as they ride the swell of an unprecedented energy crisis. While share prices of global drillers like ExxonMobil and Chevron have ticked down alongside a fall in oil prices, the sector is on track for a $495 billion cash windfall this year, analysts said, double the prewar estimate.
