The mainstream news outlets in this country, the same ones jizzing all over your television screen right now at the mere prospect of a conflict

You don't think it's news? What big story do you think they should be talking about instead?

$7 gas soon!

This week I cheated on my wife, left my family, got into heroin, got drunk and wrecked my truck into a Walgreens, sold weed to some elementary school kids and gave herpes to a church gal.

Not sure if inflation or Ukraine tensions are to blame for these events. There’s certainly nothing I personally could’ve done different.

Well, CVS would have been a better option. But maybe there aren't any in your locale.

Lots of things are relevant news, they just don’t all push a narrative that make their sponsors money, so they get left out. Same reason NASCARs don’t have hearts, stars, horseshoes, rainbows and blue moons on them. They aren’t paying the bills.

Donald Trump y’all

I think we all know this Ukraine thing is going to end with the US giving Wyoming to Canada.

Trump hiding classified documents in Mar a Lago gets my vote.

I thought we were talking about items that needed more coverage because the media likes the war too much.

Ah. Well, I'm not sure there is much more to say about that until we find out what the documents were.

Because I don't think Putin will stop with Ukraine.

 

[donkiez]

Basically talking about the stock market and oil prices. Sucks but I don't see any way around it. Even if we just backed off and let Putin roam free there would still be destabilizing costs.

Let's keep shutting down our own oil production. Makes sense!

 

[Hoopguru]

We should start pumping oil again, imo.

We never stopped.

Not good enough.

Little green tracksuits are all the rage...

Right, we can do better in keeping prices down by exporting more. JMO

Biden is approving more oil and gas drilling permits on public ...

Limiting new oil production on federal lands is all Biden ever did. Existing federal lands and private lands have been full speed for a long time. Texas is basically 100% private lands. If you think we actually shut down oil production then you watch too much fox news.

Yes. And get the rest of the world off of fossil fuels. Russia loses almost all leverage.

 

[ABM]

Yes. And get the rest of the world off of fossil fuels.

You have a plan for that? As an example, Germany imports roughly 1/3 of its oil from Russia.

Don't watch Fox news at all. Hardly watch CNN or MSNBC either.

Nuclear and renewables. As much as possible asap.
