Just past the nearest gas station. Regular = $4.25 Diesel = $5.30 Both up $.05 since leaving for work this morning. The guys I work with all drive (company owned) 2500 Duramax's. $198 to fill up if empty! Our crews all drive F550 Powerstrokes pulling trailers. I don't even want to do that math. Enjoying my Ford Focus commuter car right now! Takes 10 gal to fill up the tank and run it a week and a half at least. Learned a long time ago to have a work car with my commute. I am 34 miles daily, and that adds up real fast. We've been looking for a way to reduce overall vehicle costs. We need 2500's for hauling, towing, and snow removal. It makes no financial sense to have two fleets of vehicles for the supervisors. The consensus is to convert to gas and ditch the diesels. The upfront hit just for the diesel model and fuel cost is starting to not be so attractive. This research was taking place long before the current environment unraveled. It's not that often that we truly need the diesel power. We do like to stick with one brand of truck for each fleet type. It makes repairs and maintenance so much more efficient.

Ukraine prefers to be part of Russian. Over the decades Ukraine has voted to be part of Russia. Most time the votes very around 70% of the country. Russia has been in Ukraine for decades to century. No invasion if already there. There was an build up to fight USA backed NATO forces trying to take the oil fields from Ukraine/Russia and the shipping port. This is not Russia war, but NATO war trying to expand NATO into Ukraine. All planned by the ruling families. 100% created by those families. They want population control and the pandemic didn't work, so back to wars. They want WWIII. Why is the a WEST-EAST conflict? If NATO can put rocket on Russia bounder why can't Russia put rockets on USA border. Why is NATO be so aggressive?

Hopefully the Russia citizen don't hate USA and USA citizens don't hate Russia or any other country. We need to be calm and keep the hate away. This has nothing to do with the people of Russia, USA, Ukraine and or another country. This all about controlling oil fields and shipping port. We are being played if you there is hate!

My problem with it is that our vegetable in chief is banning russian oil but now is talking to Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil. Meanwhile, we have so much crude oil available here. At this point, I believe every sovereign nation, including the US, is just as evil as the next. And yes, that means that I believe the US is no better than Russia... We just don't parade our evil intentions around for the world to see clearly. Got any examples of “our(US)evil intentions” that you speak of? I don’t see us being even close to Russia on the “evil intentions” list! Hahaha. How did I know you would comment on this? I will defend my position and then I'll have a question for you. Did you know that since 2001, the US has dropped 326,000 bombs on other countries? If you do the math, that works out to 44.65 a day for 20 years. Now, I know that people will say that, "we were at war; of course we dropped a bunch of bombs." And while that's true, you have to ask yourself: What were we are war for? We were at war for over 20 years with a group of people who didn't have their own weapons of war, so they had to use our planes to attack us... Did it really take 20 years and 326K bombs to accomplish our goal there? Then, after 20 years, we just pull out leaving billions of dollars worth of equipment and more importantly, our own freaking people an allies who had helped us for 20 years in the dust to be slaughtered. There was also this COVID thing. Not only were we invested and interested in the lab where this thing was leaked from... Our own governent then took away most of our freedoms for two years, pitted one "side" against each other, and even put laws and mandates into place to fire and in some cases jail people that disagreed with what the government said. The effects that the last 2 years will have on children (mentally, emotionally, and psychologically) is going to be astounding moving forward (I presume it will have similar effects on adults). This has been harped on enough so I won't even go any further with this. We murder babies at the rate of 1820 per day and there are cases where even after an unwanted baby was born, they just left the child to die or scissors were taken to the baby's spinal cord to expedite death. Currently, our vegetable in chief has "banned all oil rom Russia." Meanwhile, our gas prices are the highest they have ever been. What's his plan to curb gas prices...? Let's reach out to Venezuela and the middle east. First off, Venezuela is a Russian ally so we're still supporting Russia with that option and we've spent the last 20 years bombing the crap out of the middle east, so... All that, while we sit atop massive reserves of oil in this country. If you want to go further back, let's take a look at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. No one ever thinks about this, but we killed approximately 200,000 people, most of whom were civillians. This means men, women, and children that we murdered because their government decided to attack our military. That just gets glossed over in the history books and it is accepted because it happened 80 years ago. Then their are instances such as Ruby Ridge and Waco where our beloved US killed its own citizens because.... Well, I don't really know why. Does anybody? And these are just the most well known instances. There are others. We as a country have done some attrocious things because... Well, I guess because we wanted to. And each of these instances (there are plenty more I could bring up) are the things that we know about. What has happedned that we don't know about? Now my question for you: And let me preface this with stating that I am in no way saying that Russia and Putin are not evil. I know they are. But my questions for you is: How is Russia any more evil than the US? Aren't all sovereign nations evil to the point that they will do whatever they want for reasons that they deem important in their own minds? Or are we not as evil because our ends justify our means? Dakota Meyer (purple heart recipient and all around badass soldier): As he was killing an afghan that had attacked his guys, "I see his face all the time. I don't hate him. He was fighting for what he believed in just as I was fighting for what I believed in. ..... He probably had a wife and kids that he is never come home to. And now I am the evil one to them." Everyone is just as evil as the next, we just like to justify our own evil ways because we believe that is what is right. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. "The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one." Psalm 14:2-3

I just am not at that point any more. Don't get me wrong, I love this country and the freedoms that we have. Even though I think a lot of our freedoms have been emaciated, I still am not going to pretend that the freedoms we have in this country are nothing when compared to other countries. I'd still like to get your take on all the bad that Russia has done... Just wondering what they have done that is so much worse than what we've done?

I also want to add that the "conspiracy theory" that a lot of us had that we had biowarfare labs in Ukraine has just been proven to be reality. AND.... Russia has been specifically targeting those labs. So yea, it's not looking like we are very good guys in this.

Yesterday, Boomland (Charlestown, MO) was $3.80 for unleaded and $4.50 for diesel. I’m in Jonesboro, Arkansas now and noticed a Murphy’s was $3.60 for unleaded and $4.80 for diesel. Thanks! I guess you can disregard my earlier post. I’ve seen diesel prices here in Jonesboro now ranging from $4.90 to $5.70 per gallon!

It’s video of an official for political affairs admitting under oath that there are biowarfare labs in Ukraine. Did you watch the minute long video? It’s not about this source or that source… it is literally on video with the question being asked by Rubio. I don’t understand why anyone would ever believe anything the mainstream media says anymore, but you are proving to me that even when presented with video proof of the truth, some people would rather believe falsehood. It’s not your opinion and mine. It’s truth versus falsehood.

Well, for anyone else interested, you can watch the video on the link above of Victoria Nuland, under the secretary for political affairs, telling Marco Rubio on C-Span that there are biowarfare labs in Ukraine that Russia has been targeting. Interesting stuff for sure.
