Quote:When I was a small child I observed angry poor white trash getting drunk and I took note of the consequences for them. You, who imagine yourself so superior, was 40 years old before you noted the consequences on yourself. Either you are 1) not observant, or 2) are not thinking, or 3) lack self-control. The Trump voters I'm familiar with have all 3 characteristics. You are a living version of Homer Simpson: "To Alcohol! The cause of... and solution to... all of life's problems." It is the theme that keeps being repeated on The Simpsons and yet Trumptards don't learn the simple lessons. At least Homer is smart enough to not smoke and not burn his money doing it. You can't make that brag, 6ix. I know dozens who died of esophageal cancer from their smoking and drinking. But before their habits killed the fools, the habits made them poorer.

There's zero chance that a retard like you is going to bring me down, buddy.
I seen hell and came out the other side alive and I'm a lot stronger for it.
Every year that goes by I become a better person, and that takes a lot of work. I have the luxury of free time that you never had, and I get to use that to make other people's lives better. Really better. Not the fake virtue signalling crap that you and people like you pretend to do online every day. And the more I improve myself and my situation, the more time I will have to devote to others.
And at the end of the day, just like I've already told you dozens of times before... I'm not worried about the inflation. I'm the king of buffers, baby. I'm not worried about shit right now.
You're the scared little man who is terrified that a world leader half the planet away is about to drop nukes on you before the planet burns up and still walks around wearing a mask everywhere you go even though you're quadruple boosted.
I couldn't imagine living your sad, scared little life.
No wonder you obsess about money so much. You have no love in your life. You have nobody who would give a damn about you if you didn't have money to give them. You have no self worth. You have no purpose.
You are a number. You made yourself a number.

Quote:With these words you have written the first line in your autobiography, an entire book about your "life affirming experiences". Your book publicist will thank you for dying young from the damage you have done to yourself while "researching" the book because death adds to your allure as an author. The authenticity of being deceased sells more books. Famous and dead author -- a double win for a crazy person and author called 6ixStringJack.

I have no interest in accruing more money than I need.
Certainly not when I'm dead.
Keep being pathetic.

Well... If that doesn't answer why I don't bother saving up more money than what I need for the near future, I don't know what does.
It's all fake. Everything.

6ix, there is a strong smell coming off of you that you are dying and care little to nothing about the future, but that same stink comes off of Trump and many Trumptards who smoke, drink, are obese, divorced, alienated from their adult children, drug addicted, don't get vaccinated, deny climate change is real, or own guns that will be used for suicide, etc.

Yeah. You keep talking about how much Democrats make. Most Democrats don't even pay any income taxes and get most of the handouts though.
Me? I make about $1,200 to $2,000 per month by doing nothing, simply by not having a rent or mortgage. And that money is untaxed, simply because it wasn't income.
How many times are we going to have this conversation dude? I owe nobody anything. I buy everything with cash. I've paid less than $200 in interest in my entire life.
I had a large enough cushion to survive five years of crippling binge drinking, and to pay for my dentures which were a direct result of it with cash. What on earth makes you think I'm not sitting on a large amount of money right now?
I don't have to make money. I only work when I want to.

There's no smell. I'm in great shape. My life is full of projects that I enjoy doing, and I answer to no one. I get to spend time helping people I care about and building my social credit, and I rarely ever have to sit in traffic... or pay to gas the car up, for that matter.
My comment that you quoted above was about how the rug of US Dollars could be pulled out from everybody at any moment, so I see no reason to continue to save money far beyond what I would ever spend. I already have shelter and transportation fully paid for. I'm stocked up on YEARS worth of consumables. I have no children that I need to worry about putting through college or leaving with an inheritance. I have no wife who is addicted to spending my money. Meanwhile, thanks to the internet, I have all the virtually free entertainment that I need to fill the off hours where I'm not doing things I love doing.
If the US dollar ever does come crashing down, I won't be very butt hurt about how much I saved, since I won't be losing millions of dollars that I never would have spent anyhow. I also rate my chances of success very high in a post-USD world.
How was work today, honey?

Do you know why gasoline prices are so high?
Because Putin destabilized global oil distribution?
No! It’s because …
Because crude oil producers decided to make record profits?
No! It’s because …
Because Republicans refused to stop price-gouging?
No! It’s because Biden turned a dial somewhere!
The same dial that adjusted your brightness?

Thanks for compiling the list of all the bullshit that Joe* is spewing.
Gas was $2.30 here for 4 years while Trump was President.
Half of the increases on price from there occurred before you even learned Ukraine was a country earlier this year.
P.S. Even Jeff Bezos knows that you and Biden* are full of shit.

You don't get much more rich and Democrat than Jeff Bezos.

So, about those gas prices. As economists at the St. Louis Fed recently pointed out, there’s a longstanding phenomenon in the fuel market known as asymmetric pass-through or, more colorfully, rockets and feathers. When oil prices shoot up, prices at the pump shoot up right along with them (the rocket). And when oil prices plunge, prices at the pump eventually fall, but much more gradually (the feather).
Why this asymmetry? There have been a number of economic papers trying to understand it, pretty much all of which stress the market power of companies that face limited competition (something Bezos surely knows a lot about.) The clearest explanation I’ve seen is in a relatively old paper by Severin Borenstein, Richard Gilbert and A. Colin Campbell. I’d summarize their argument as follows: When oil prices shoot up, owners of gas stations feel empowered not just to pass on the cost but also to raise their markups, because consumers can’t easily tell whether they’re being gouged when prices are going up everywhere. And gas stations may hang on to these extra markups for a while even when oil prices fall.
Is there evidence for this story? Yes. Notably, the rockets and feathers phenomenon seems to be strongest in areas where individual gas stations face relatively little competition.
In such a situation, badgering gas stations to get their prices down may actually make some sense. We can argue about its effectiveness, but it’s not stupid, given what we know about the relevant market dynamics.
