    Biden is a moron .. as was Obama .. Oil consumption is "increasing" globally.. not decreasing.. every year .. and in fact even out consumption is increasing - although our carbon footprint has decreased over last 25 years along with other first world nations. Bottom line .. we consume alot of oil .... and the "Solution" is not to import that oil from Exxon's latest find in Nambia and Botzwanna .. transporting our pollution problems to nations with no good ability to handle them .. and kicking our economy in the backside at same time.. This is Biden's "Not in my back Yard - dump it in the Ocean" environmental Policy .. Lets not produce domestically (which includes Canada) ship by pipeline .. Lets get it from Nigeria .. or rather more from Nigeria . massive ocean polluters the #1 enviro issue.

    Trump would have been far better .. he was pro -treatment .. lack of which is part of the reason we had so many deaths relative to other nations that did give treatment.. 2 wars 1) Covid -- weakens immune system .. Vax can help - 2) Pneumonia .. good bacteria vs bad .. now at war due to weakened immune system .. Vax doesn't do much ... need to get artillery to good bugs .. chemical weapons against bad ..anti-biotics along with anti inflammatory .. and puffers/inhalers

    Only a freaken medical idiot does not fight both wars .. but we have many of those .. Fauci being one of them.

    Trump had Covid .. took treatment .. was up and about in 2 days... go figure. India .. you got a treatment kit when you got covid .. death rate 310/ 100,000 USA 2100/100,000 7 times different is significant .. any way you slice or dice.

    I may not agree with this position 100% I do however believe it as a sound moderate position, so I won’t argue against it.

    Numbers are the numbers...- not that we know for sure what when why .. but not treating for Pneumonia is just dumb - Vitimins - antibiotic - anti inflammatory -- Hot tea with honey - 1/2 Lemon - cayanne pepper if you want my home recipie -- Eastern Europeans swear by a nip of moonshine .. all make scientific sense. from an Environmental microbiological perspective --- something which your doctor had Zero courses in during medical school - but hopefully learned a few things after .. but this is the exception not the rule.

    9 out of 10 people who die from covid -- or the Flue .. die from pneumonia . and if a meteor doesn't take you out .. we all go from pneumonia at the end of days .. When the bad bugs win. Every one human cell you have 9 bacterial cells .. symbiotic relationship with your immune system ... the good one's are your soldiers .. treat them well.

    Let me give one example of how to use this knowledge .. and how it is not used. Hand Sanitizer .. good idea or bad ? what does it do to the 32 million bacteria per square inch of your skin ? hmmmm

    This my expertise btw .. know way more about this stuff than the Fauci Clown.

    Oh.. another one with the government pressuring private companies pricing? You know this is the true and classic def of fascism. The other one was Biden investigating gas prices, the increase of which he is responsible.

    Its important that we have a wide range of diversity in identity looking into the problem equally.


    That's the only way we can get some answers!

    Hopefully they will ignore the call. Virtue signaling can get expensive in the Senate.

    "Sen. Elizabeth Warren calls for probe into turkey costs as prices soar"

    agree, I want to know if this is caused cause we get so much from overseas or what

    is this more issues with the ports? or is this price gouging, what is going on

    that said, our walmart was selling turkey cheaper than last year, so guess depends on where you live

    https://www.walmart.com/ip/Butterball-Frozen-Young-Turkey-10-16-lbs/45106833 ($14.04)

    She can't produce anything herself so she has to go after people who do in order to feel relevant. Customers can do without a turkey if they are too pricey.

    If you want to to go after price fixing, Sen. Warren, why not investigate your and your colleagues' salaries and perks, which you set yourself.

    Turkey here is going for $.67 a pound. It's a little cheaper still for the local store brand.

    Democrats are typically demand side focused. Demand is simply spending money coming to constituents with no regard to market forces.
    Every dollar of taxes originates in the private sector. The democrats love spending but hate jobs. They are incapable of forming the logic behind the connection of supply,demand, taxes, and wages.

    Maybe. It is true that the turkeys we eat on holidays are white.

    I have guns but have only been hunting once. I shot a deer and decided to do all my future hunting in a supermarket. But perhaps you can answer a question I always had. How big a deal is it to remove buckshot from a bird before eating it?

    Liberalism and socialism are mutually exclusive terms.

    Net profit for Tyson Chicken (for example), has increased every year, unaffected by the pandemic.

    If prices for their product has increased, some of that increase has been a result of them taking more profit. Corporate profit is one of the reasons we've had "inflation".

    Show me a liberal that doesn't want socialist programs like free medical care, free education and endless government spending. Show me a socialist that doesn't support endless government spending, free medical and free education. SOCIALIST = LIBERAL
