Rob Rogers for March 09, 2022

An almost exact copy of the words from a cartoon yesterday. I hope that these ’toonists are pointing out how shallow that is, rather than how awful it is.

Once again, the folly of buying gas-guzzlers comes home to bite people on the ass.

I haven’t seen a Humvee in months. Have owners converted them into guest houses?

This should speed up the transition to electric vehicles substantially. And that would take away a major source of funding for many dictators, which would be a good thing. Not to mention the health benefits and the benefits for the planet.

I do like Rob Rogers but this theme has been done to death.

Trade that over sized, over powered, over weight pickup for something useful.

Does he own a bicycle?

The rise in gasoline is nothing more than price gouging. The amount of fuel imported from Russia is miniscule! This is just another rip off by the big oil companies.

Trade that aging gas guzzler in for an all electric. Problem solved!

folks will complain about gas prices – if it helps at all to stop putin i am in – imagine what everyone now would think about everything americans did to help out in ww2

SO… just how many of those posing, preening G.I. Joe Cosplaying Fake “Soljers” in “The Proud Gurlz” and “The 3% I.Q.” and the other “All-American Militia” groups like “The Oaf Creepers” are strapping on their body armor, and grabbing their AR-15s and volunteering to go help “Defend Democracy” in Ukraine?? You want a reason to wave your manhood extensions around for all the wold to see??? Well, here you go!

And rightfully so. We all should be outraged by war induced profiteering.

Whiner.

All the driver needs is a red MAGA hat.

Paying that gas is helping PUTIN

Traitor republicans claimed Iraq would great us as liberators and pay us in oil before they attacked the country under false premises..

Still nowhere near what Europeans pay.

Putin doesn’t carpet bomb. Russians and Ukrainians are one face, one race. Biden is the Dr. Strangelove of our era. Biden should be put in the insane asylum. 25th Amendment.

“I’d do anything to help!” sure sounds (to me, at least) an awful lot like “I would’ve run in there even without a weapon” (or whatever the Dotard’s phrasing in the school shooting case was).

Coward. Snowflake. He can do what others did when our citizens in WW2. They conserved. We may carpool with our cousins next door, clip coupons, and other things.

Everybody rightly viewed Saudi Arabia as a backward, despotic, 3rd-world country until it was discovered that it was sitting atop the world’s largest reserves of oil. Now the culture and government are still backward, despotic, and 3rd-worldly, but it’s economy is 1st world, and the rest of the world has to take them seriously because of our dependence on all that oil.

Would switching over to electric vehicles make that dependence obsolete? It would help, but it comes with its own different form of dependence. “A single car lithium-ion battery pack (of a type known as NMC532) could contain around 8 kg of lithium, 35 kg of nickel, 20 kg of manganese and 14 kg of cobalt, according to figures from Argonne National Laboratory.” And where do we find all that nickel? #1 Indonesia, #2 The Philippines, #3 Russia. And Jokowi, Duterte, and Putin are not exactly huge fans of democracy and human rights, so they’d probably delight in forming their own version of OPEC and holding the rest of the world hostage to their willingness to supply nickel.

Simple solution: get all the Preachers and Evangelicals and born-agains to pray for cheaper gas, and the Bible promises that we will get it. Mathew 7:7

Another proud, Merikan patriot.

Say it ain’t so, bro.

It’s what happens when you live in a nation fixated on past glory that a third of the population lives in a racist fantasy land…

How come all the rabid militia types aren’t going off to help the Ukrainians? Oh, yeah, cause the other side shoots back.
