    critical race theory (CRT), intellectual and social movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of colour. Critical race theorists hold that racism is inherent in the law and legal institutions of the United States insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans. Critical race theorists are generally dedicated to applying their understanding of the institutional or structural nature of racism to the concrete (if distant) goal of eliminating all race-based and other unjust hierarchies.

    They're scraping the barrel at this point.
    They want to give the oil execs subsidies to drill more thinking we can offset global prices, to bring the cost of fuel down even further. In their heads because fuel is linked to everything, a lower price at the pump magically means people want to make less for their work, so prices should come down on everything it's linked to.

    And they pretend like they want less government interference.

    Then he's a either a fool for paying that price, or he knows his customers can afford it.

    For instance start charging your boss more to work since he's so willing to pay more, and offset the costs. Bet all of a sudden he can find it cheaper somewhere else huh.

    Water gets a raise, but not you, And you still work there?

    agreed.

    The funnies part is that they don't even understand how oil prices are set, and that Joe Biden did literally zero damage to the oil industry. The fact that oil company PROFITS are thru the roof shows that they do not understand the most basic concepts

    I got a very generous raise lately and an extremely generous Christmas bonus.

    Do you happen to have your finger on the pulse of the wholesale bottled water market? You don't think inflation is actually happening at a wholesale level too?

    Awsome, well there ya go.
    The market at work, people will pay what they can afford. The price of goods will go down once people stop paying the asking price.

    Now remember, asking for cheaper goods also means ur willing to work for less as well.

    Not me, but the guy with the water cooler selling em at $1 a pop during the summer still seems to be turning a profit, as well as the guy working the elevators on site. He keeps a cooler an hasn't jacked up the price.

    I won't get rich working there but I'm managing to pay all of my bills as well as put a pretty decent amount in savings every month.

    Plus I get another benefit that I would really hate to lose by going elsewhere....... On my time off I can come up to the shop and use the tools such as the lift to work on my own vehicle all I want.

    And I get all the parts at wholesale cost including new tires. I do a fair amount of mechanical work myself but I don't do anything very involved like water pumps or anything and if I need a mechanic to do that I pay $50 an hour instead of the going rate of 100. So that's pretty nice. That has saved me a significant amount over the last 2 years

    Watching you guys run from racist divisive CRT indoctrination by force is something that brings me great satisfaction. And you guys really took a thumpin in the election. Lost by 9 seats and 3,000,000 votes? That has to smart! You can learn from it though, if you choose to.

    Watching you guys run to a prostitute and recording artist to cry about something made up by conspiracy theorists is quite silly. That has to smart to think 1 prostitute carries so much clout.

    And I showed you a chart of oil production. It has not gone down, except during the pandemic. But trending up since it ended.
    Does data and facts matter? Or just some prostitute?

    What do you think about the theory that any support for equality from a white person is driven by greed and is limited to what they can personally gain from it?

    Biden sat down with an interview with her prior to the rigged election, but now, suddenly, her opinion doesn't matter? Have fun with that.

    How many things can some folks on the Left run from, at the same time?
    • Running from the riots they unleashed after Floyd
    • Running CRT
    • Running from Woke
    • and now running from Cardi B!
    The Biden/Dem economic 'geniuses' told us that their policies would not be inflationary, and then that the undeniable inflation was 'transitory' and now they are running from even Cardi B who is telling it straight.

    We don't need you folks drying up Cardi-B!

    It doesn't take an 'expert' to see how Bideninflation has completely screwed the Working and Middle class. You know it, I know it, The American People know it. Your dodge that you are unable to perceive this without one of the Left's cult 'experts' declaring it so is wholly unconvincing. Any fool can see the damage of twenty one straight months of real wage losses has had on American People, even Cardi-B.

    The key to bringing fuel prices down is increased supply, and Biden and his fellow leftists do not want increased fuel supply. They want greater illegitimate control over the mobility of the Free American People.

    It gets more lauagable every day on this site to try to debate some of you conservatives.

    Oil Supply is already CAPPED. That cap on production is set by OPEC and their member countries. That "production limit" determines WORLD oil prices, along with OPEC+ which the US is not a member country. OPEC+ in recent years has a much larger effect on oil prices, and the Russian invasion of invasion of Ukraine is the current driver of oil prices....WHICH OPEC SETS !!!!!!

    We will never leave OPEC because US producers want the higher prices. Do you honestly think that US companies will sell at lower prices just because they sell in the US ?

    Real wage losses are a product of which law or policy set by the Biden administration ? Seriously, tell us exactly which law or policy created the global inflation we (a net importer) have today. You keep making the claim, and every time I ask you to tell us which law/policy you default to more talking points. Now quit the BS and tell us what Biden policies created global inflation ?

    Actually you are the funny one.
    Caps and exclamation points don't solidify your point, facts do. Under Trump we were energy independent and the world's biggest supplier of energy, taking pricing power from OPEC. Biden and the more totalitarian Dems do not like energy abundance and the freedom, mobility and prosperity that comes with it. These high prices, that fuel inflation are deliberate, they simply would like to evade the political price, and they were somewhat successful by artificially increasing supply by abruptly dumping the SPR that had been built up by the previous 6 presidents. So obviously you all do know that increasing supply lowers prices, the pretense that this is lost on you is feigned.

    Biden and the Dems by attacking our US Energy Producers not only unleashed national inflation, but because we hold the world's global currency and were the world's swing producer, this, and their multiple $Trillion red ink orgies has added to global inflation.

    Here is the thing, the Glorious Orange Age of Trump showed us that all these lies that Big Government has been telling us were the complete crap we alway suspected they were. Unleash our Domestic Energy Producers, implement sensible Tariff policies, impede the flow of cheap illegal labor over our border and you unleash rising real wages for the working and middle class with abundant energy, goods and services and real prosperity.

    You hide behind your 'experts' which serve the same function as priests in a cult. You will deny any plainly obvious facts until one of your priests 'experts' gives you permission to see it. That's what's so awesome about Cardi-B, she sees it, she says it, and we all know it's true, because we already knew it was true before she said it. Look at your claim. You are so locked into the Totalitarian mindset that you are claiming that we are following Cardi-B as an economic expert simply because she made and communicated the same observation we did. I guess I couldn't be surprised, Democrat House Leadership is currently requiring Dem Lawmakers to get permission to take bathroom breaks. You seem to have no direct knowledge of what it is to be mentally free.

    Hopefully at some point you will treat yourself to that experience.

    2024 DeSantis will likely be elected with a strong majority in both Houses and we'll have all this fixed by the 4th quarter of 2025. Abundant supply of energy, goods and services with rising real wages for a prosperous, free and vibrant working and middle class.

    Literally nothing you said i that post has any basis in truth or fact. So full of projection and fantasy that its farcical.

    I will tho address one point: Trump NEVER had America energy independent, because we have always imported oil. Thats just a fantasy from the right

    You really live deep in the bubble....

    Fake News. Embrace Reality. Trump got us Energy Independent for the first time in nearly 70 years, Biden/Dems got us the highest inflation in 40 years.
