Greed,laziness and the union

[Raceready]

Them there poor RR workers just don't get enough time off as well ! ! They will be wanting all the extra time off that unionized school teachers get to enjoy ? ?

Work less, get paid more………that makes total sense.

Shades of bratty entitlement shining brightly for the rail unions…….and they wonder why?

My boss talked to our oil and fuel rep. and asked him about this and just laughed. He had 15 tankers loaded with diesel for delivery at different locations in the St. Louis area. We had no problems getting our 2500 gallon tank filled. He said it was a bunch of political BS. I was working at the refinery just north of St Louis and it looked business as usual...That refinery is union and so am I. Sounds like fear mongering from Washington DC to me.

We were also supposed to run out about a month ago. Too many folks get their news from pot stirring folks on social media.

And fuel prices are decreasing 2-3 cents pr gallon every day. Thanks, Biden !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You’re thanking him for fixing a problem he himself and his people created?

Sure, I’ll play along.

He should take a little blame for increased fuel prices. (They are up around the world btw, not just here) He was pretty combative toward big oil. He's taken a bulk of the blame.
Now that prices are going down, he should get the credit for that if we play the game that way.

Obama should be the darling of the fuel price divas. Prices plummeted late in 2014. That's two whole years before DT was elected.

Knowing that I’m No big Bush II supporter --- Wasn’t low fuel prices during the Obama administration just the after effects of the work Bush II administration did with him getting the credit for low fuel prices? Timelines aside, at least that’s the way it has worked in the past with other administrations and past Presidents.

That’s a weird way to look at it. So it was your fault the prices went up --- but you want the credit when they go back down. Not sure what the economic term is for that situation, but it sure is a weird one.

Prices went up some during Obama's first few years then plummeted. Lowest price since 2010 was February of 2016.

Won't let me quote you, Lurker. I don't really believe Biden deserves a lot of credit or blame. That was kinda my point. Fuel prices go up, and they go down. That's how it seems to work, regardless of the President.

Other than the politically driven $$$ mess of the Key Stone pipeline debacle, I would agree with your assessment to some degree.

Thanks Joe Biden,yeah right, did you thank him when gas went over $5.00 a gallon? And it's still over a dollar higher than when Trump was the real president. Where is the thanks for that, huh????

Draining the reserves and putting the nation in peril to make the prices go down? Thanks Joe!!! Thank you Obummer, for not getting any more time to destroy America, and the gas prices dropped quite a bit after the nation wrecker left office.

Thanks Joe for being a total retarded puppet that is taking his marching orders from the far left Communists behinf the scenes such as Obummer hinself.

Thanks Joe?????????? Please, I just can't stomach the total adsurdity of statements like that!!!!

Thanks Joe???? Thanks Joe??? How horrible, I just wish I could unsee that horrible post!!!!

[Buford.Justice]

Thank Biden!!! Says the union workers that keep losing their jobs in Michigan as unionized companies are packing up even as we speak and moving to China. Thanks Joe, for trying to force the coal industry and it's UNION workers completely out of business!!!!

That's the part of the increase, along with his overall push toward green energy, that I would blame him for. That does not account for all of the increase we've seen though. Not even close. The merits of shutting the pipeline down are another matter.
Fuel prices went up worldwide as we came out of covid restrictions. Those increases were projected in the spring and summer of 2020. Inflation was already in the forecast too. It's happened around world.

I appreciate the rational, sane dialogue.

[Buford.Justice]

Green energy and climate fraud, don't warrent debate, They are directly destroying and inslaving people world wide.

The people behind the shutdown of enegry and food production is world wide. Eurpore was warned even when Trump was president that this was coming and the German government heads sat there laughing. Now look where they are.

People are going to freeze and or stave in many places throughout Europe this winter.

Nothing good about the Government of the Netherlands demanding that 3000 farm owners just sell out their land to the government is there???

BTW the COVID sham served it's purpose well for Globalists in destroying energy production world wide and putting millions out of business and also introduced population control upon us to boot.
