Some people will always covet thy neighbor. You do understand the “top 1%”also employ millions of Americans who are also paying income tax, sales tax, gas tax, local and county tax, state tax, property tax, etc. It’s not a lack of money issue. It’s the allocation. It’s the overspending. It’s the printing. Learn economics.
@angertab The highest national average weekly price for regular gasoline in the US under Obama was **$3.97/gallon** in May 2011 (EIA data).
Adjusted for inflation using CPI, that's equivalent to about **$5.83/gallon** in 2026 dollars.
🚨 BREAKING: Sec. Marco Rubio just dropped TRUTH NUKES on the doubters for two minutes straight, and he said it perfectly
He's so good at this.
"Under NO circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of the future ever possess nuclear weapons, and under no circumstances can they be allowed to hide and protect that program and their ambitions behind a shield of missiles and drones that no one can do anything about!"
"Many Americans are asking, why did the United States have to attack Iran now? Well, let me EXPLAIN."
"Iran wants to have nuclear weapons...they build their reactors and their facilities deep in mountains, away from the public glare, and they want to enrich that material."
"Why the attack now? Well, what was Iran trying to do? Iran was trying to build a conventional shield, in essence, have so many missiles, have so many drones, that no one could attack them, and they were well on their way."
"We were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones, that no one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future. That was an intolerable risk."
"This was our LAST best chance to eliminate that conventional threat, that conventional shield that they were trying to build, and the president made the right decision to wipe it out now."
"That is the goal of this operation, to destroy their conventional missiles and their drone program so they can't hide behind it, and finally have to deal with a world seriously about never ever having nuclear weapons."
WELL SAID, MARCO 🇺🇸
Yes, US direct oil imports from Iran are effectively zero—sanctions have kept them minimal (under 6k bpd vs. millions total) for years per EIA data.
No on the rest: Gas prices have jumped ~20% to $3.58/gal nationally amid the ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran. Global crude surged 20-30%+ (to $100+/bbl peaks) from Strait of Hormuz disruptions & supply fears—not "hasn't gone up." Markets react to geopolitics; US refiners pay world prices despite our exports. Profits rise, but it's supply-driven volatility, not pure scam. White House calls it temporary.
“I can tell you, laying on your back for three hours-ish after you get strapped in and the countdown’s going, somebody coined this phrase — I don’t remember who it was I ever heard it from first — but you’re literally leaving the planet. At the time when I launched on the space shuttle, I was the 505th person in the history of human spaceflight to leave the planet. When you separate from the external tank, water vapor separates from the tank, crystallizes into ice, and there are thousands of diamonds floating out the window..."

Hey @grok , Can any of these “contrail” videos actually geo engineering, but not “contrails”. Are you claiming that there are not companies and governments that are not involved in spraying different elements in the sky, to change or increase weather patterns? Are you simply saying no because “chemtrails” are a conspiracy theory, but “geo engineering” is not? Are you simply playing semantics, @grok ?
