    Absolutely. All the new EVs come with the latest tracking, kill switches, etc. Every Tesla is monitored and remote accessed 24/7, and as we've learned in the past anything that is on a corporate server is an open book for the government.

    The point is to restore a kind of feudalism where travel is only for the wealthy and connected. The people of Indiana and Georgia and Montana and Texas won't be able to show up on the streets of DC to revolt. Their cars will simply be disabled along with their social credit score-connected ability to buy plane or train tickets.
    Good thing this all-powerful totalitarian government will never be able to figure out how to apply this to gas vehicles, eh?

    "If exports persist at this elevated pace and refinery runs - already near the top range for reasonable utilization rates - fall within our expectations, gasoline inventories could continue to draw to levels below 2008 lows and retail gasoline prices could climb to $6/gallon or even higher," JPMorgan warned, adding that total US gasoline inventories could soon fall to levels not seen since the 1950s - a perfect storm.

    "There is a real risk the price could reach $6+ a gallon by August," JPM head of commodities research, Natasha Kaneva, told CNN last week.

    According to JPM, unless refineries "immediately" halt most exports and shift towards domestic gasoline production, ''US consumers should not expect much in the way of relief in prices at the pump until the end of the year."

    Yes,our record exports are causing much of the pain at the pump.


    Every advancement in human history has required a more dense form of energy. It does not matter rather you are talking about the standard of living or technology. Each step forward has required a more energy dense form of energy.
    Solar and wind are much less dense and reliable.Which of course will cause the opposite,a reduction in the standard of living and less technological advance(for most a few elite could eek out a better standard of living if they could totally control the lives of everyone else).

    The idea that gas prices are all Putin’s fault is ridiculous. It’s a factor. We wouldn’t be exporting so much of our refined products but for the policy.
    We where exporting more and still are to central America than we are to Europe,and those number keep going up. The EU is still receiving less than central America by far,and zero refined gas(some diesel,jet,crude,and other distillates). About the only thing that changed product wise was diesel and crude,but 60% of our crude exports are to Canada(they have more spare refining capacity than we do,and they cut over 80% of refined diesel they sent to the USA in the last three months to sell it to Europe),of the rest over 30% is going to Mexico(crude and almost 100% of our gasoline exports).


    The exports to central America have been increasing for over 2 years now.
    Point of this post. Russia and Ukraine have almost zero to do with gasoline prices,but quite a bit to do with diesel(and of course Biden,rejoining the paris climat accords,EPA eliminating 31 refineries waivers for blending bio last Friday and general policies attacking the oil industry have the biggest impacts).

    My $5B offer looks more attractive every day.
    Usually after there are no takers for the offer at hand for this long, it's because the terms are too high. Maybe dropping your price would help? :dunno:

    Think of it this way. Who can pay $5B? The number of possible takers is quite low, comparatively. Also, are there such offers from other potential suppliers? If not, it may be a service where the demand just isn't there. Maybe try cutting the price first. Wait another month or so. If no takers, keep lowering the price. If no one takes it, maybe the problem is with demand.

    The people with 5B in disposable income aren't being hurt by all this anyhow.

    Also @BigRed , remember not to bump your ad more than one time in 24 hours... ;) And make sure all offers are done in PM.
