The highest form of sanity is to live for the moment, be consumed by it. Not what happen yesterday or what will happen tomorrow.

Back in 2008 oil damn near hit $148 a barrel and gas was around 4 bucks.

Now oil is way lower and somehow we’re still paying more at the pump.

You can throw out all the excuses you want, but regular people know when something smells fishy.

Something ain’t right.

@MarioNawfal Throw a net on it, shit would hit the ground quick. Someone should make a net gun with shogun sized shells, 15-20 foot distance and multiple attempts before reload. 3D print it.. will be cheap and effective. Drone warfare would end instantly. Attack drones would become useless.
