Ok, thanks. I don’t begrudge anyone their right to an opinion.


Just saying, it is factually false that any news outlet is reporting that everything is roses.

It is not factually correct that shutting off the keystone pipeline has anything at all to do with increasing gas prices. That’s a result of what is happening everywhere - push-pull inflation pressures. Production is down (mostly due to Covid disruptions) and demand is up as some of the world opens back up. While much of that should be temporary, time will tell how much.

I wish we had more than 2 candidates to choose between, but we never really do. So I wasn’t voting for Biden last year and I am not a full throated supporter now. I don’t think I ever will be. I was voting against Trump. I’m not saying you have to agree, but I do not regret that one bit. Biden may be pushing spending beyond what I’m comfortable with, and I think he screwed the pooch in Afghanistan (but Trump surrendered to the Taliban and helped set that stage), but Trump is a real and present and ongoing danger to the future of democracy in America. So first things first - let’s save the democracy, because my tax rates aren’t going to matter too much if we don’t do that. Then we can have other policy debates. But democracy and the US Constitution are job 1.
