Key inflation cause: Republican policy

[Orangecat]

If you look at the U.S. economy has prospered under democrats but not republicans.

Coherent English, please.

There is a vast, vast difference between regulations which govern private land, and those which govern public land, especially around environmental issues, drilling, and restoration of the land. Not to mention, you can NEVER own this land, or do with it as you see fit, because the government can change the rules at any time.

List the differences, Simp.

Watch this dodge.

You doubt that??? On what evidence????

Elder health care in Canada is amazing compared to the US. Our co-pays are $100 per year for drugs. Everything else is fully covered, and there's no paperwork. Just swipe my 0HIP card and I'll be on my way.

We have a Conservative government in Ontario at the moment so we're having a health care "crisis", which means that the province closed a lot of beds, and abused nurses and staff over contracts. Canadian Conservatives try to do with health care what Republicans do with public education: make it so bad that everyone will clamor for an end to government run health care in Canada, and education in the USA.

Conservatives always destroy something as an excuse to turn it over to profiteers. Conservatives were re-elected solely because all of the parties on the left ran terrible campaigns and split the vote. They also did a good job during the pandemic, basically following Trudeau's lead, and the SARS Pandemic Report playbook. But Canadians aren't as gullible as Republican voters. You fuck with our health care, or our schools, you're gone.

Our publicly owned elder care facilities had 1/3 of the death rate from covid that the privately owned facilities had. Many of these private facilities are American owned and operated. They use the same hiring practices as American institutions - part time nurses who don't qualify for same benefits full time workers get, working at multiple institutions just to make a living.

My DIL was a nurse at one of these places - 2 days a week. They were told not to wear masks or PPE because it "frightened" the residents. She quit when the pandemic hit because she could see where this was headed, and she has a toddler at home. Most of the staff worked at 2 or three such jobs, to make a full time wage. When the inevitable outbreak came at the home where she had worked, it was no surprise. The home was fully stocked with PPE, because nobody used it. Workers going from home to home, spread the virus as they worked, even with visitors banned.

People thought that the extra money they paid for these homes ensured a higher standard of care than the publicly owned facilities, but what it was buying was part time staff, and big dividends for shareholders. There is now a public outcry post-covid to ban "for profit" homes.

Which is why I know hundreds of people who left Canada because their health care sucks.

How many punches on your gubbamint health card do you need to get a free suicide assist?

It's a "fungible" commodity...sold on a world market...when people started eschewing Russian oil, the supply had to be redistributed to compensate for the shortfall..

Absent Ukraine, Reg. would be less than 2.50

I said something to piss off soaked tabby again

To review what actually happened, in chronological order:

1. Trillions and trillions and trillions in stimulus are pumped into the economy since 2009
2. The Fed purposely keeps interest rates as low as possible
3. We ALL go all those years waiting for all this stimulus to create MASSIVE inflation
4. COVID hits and the economy falls into complete structural disarray and becomes wildly uneven
5. COVID subsides, many industries struggle to re-open having lost employees and having made big systemic changes
6. Flush with cash, demand explodes globally coming out of the COVID lockdowns
7. Supply chains immediately collapse worldwide, across virtually all industry (production/distribution) strata
8. Inflation hits and rapidly compounds on itself with supply chains still paralyzed
9. The Fed waits far too long (maybe 8 to 10 months) to gradually control the inflation with higher rates
10. Far behind the curve, the Fed has to keep increasing rates and the strain on the real estate market begins
11. The increased interest rates put a boot on the throat of the economy, sending the real estate market into a tailspin
12. Today, as inflation has leveled off and is (hopefully) headed back down, we hope for a soft landing or only mild recession

You're welcome.

average price of gas in VA is 3.09…thanks Xiden

No you don't.

Lying through his teeth.
Did consulting for one of the big communities north of Miami...at the time it was 30% Canadians...

I'd ask them why they would bother going back - they all laughed, and explained the security afforded by Canadian coverage.

Drilling didn’t drop off after Trump opened up leases, Dumbass. It skyrocketed to over 400,000 bbl per month.

It dropped off when the Fauci Flu hit and Dimwinger Governors shut down, Simp.

And did you really just post oil companies don’t have to follow regulations if they own the land they are drilling in? Holy shit what a colossal dumbass you are. Completely clueless.

Drilling isn't production you dolt. Drilling is exploration. Production increased as the wells drilled under Obama came fully online for production.

Why do you persist in proving your abject stupidity by calling covid the "Faucci Flu". It makes me realize how hopelessly stupid you truly are.

Production didn't drop because of Democrats, you fool. It dropped because people stopped driving and demand fell through the floor. People were working from home - no daily commute. Travel for business or pleasure, pretty much ended. Every storage tank in America was full to bursting with gas no one was buying. That's why the price dropped to below $2 a gallon.

See prior posts about drilling on private land, and drilling on public land. Biden cancelled the auctions in the Alaskan Wilderness because nobody wanted to buy a lease up there. Add permafrost, winter, and dealing with environmentalists as good and valid reasons why nobody wanted to drill on a game preserve in Alaska.

How much did it cost you besides your credibility and dignity?

No you don't.

I’m an Orthodox Jew; I know more Canadians that have come to live in the US than you’ll ever know in your life.

You're neutered AND declawed.

You elected Republicans in Virginia. Sucks to be you. You have the cheapest gas in the first world, and you are energy independent thanks to the Obama/Biden Administration, and all you can do is bitch about it. What ungrateful turds Republicans truly are.
