Uneducated Fox viewers only need to hear that the Dems did something and an insinuation that the MSM don't want you to know about it to become outraged and run with it. 2 Link to comment

This article seems to blame Manchin for the higher energy prices in his home state. I suspect the residents think otherwise. If we can be energy independent using alternative energy sources and get it cheaper, sign me up. https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/19/politics/west-virginia-coal-rates-manchin-climate/index.html Are you remembering correctly? In my 45 years of purchasing gasoline, the prices have been a roller coaster running through every administration with little correlation to party politics. In my 22 years of heating my house, energy prices have gone nowhere but up. Link to comment

It is insane. it doesn't help that my windows are made of swiss cheese but still. Link to comment

They always credit the great Trump for low prices last year and totally blame Biden for them being high this year. They won't even consider the fact that last summer, the demand for gas plummeted due to the pandemic and this year gas demand is extremely high world wide as people came out of the pandemic and started traveling and driving again. Another factor is that our economy is crazy right now. Yes, there are parts of it still hurting. But, in general, people have cash and they are doing things again. This adds to all the demand. To them, it's like the President has 100% control over the price of gas, which is BS. It's interesting that prices of everything has gone up like crazy.....but with gas, it's all because of Biden. 1 Link to comment

So....remind me again why I'm supposed to be outraged by this? And...obscure airport? Looks to me like Westchester County Airport is at least a decent sized airport. Or.....is it only OK if they're flying into LaGuardia? 1 Link to comment

I usually prefer to travel with my kids either late at night are very early in the morning. They tend sleep in the car rather than drive me insane! 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 In the "trump's America" thread we were (rightfully) complaining about the destruction of the very fabric of our country. In the "Biden's America" thread we're (oddly) complaining about flight times. All things considered, I think we've upgraded. 3 1 1 Link to comment
