Me either, and mostly this comes from as a severe correction the the ridiculousness we suffered Under Biden's "thought police" where you had to pick every word you said because you may unknowingly offend some fragile human being by using the same language that was perfectly acceptable just a few years ago.

Fordow proved that they never stopped trying and the Obama deal was a failure.

ahhhh yes, the Greatest Generation. I agree with you there, wish it were like that today. I know one thing is for sure, The Greatest Generation would have never put up with this pronoun crap.

you do know there is a list if sh!t people vote on. You do understand that not everything on that list, that your types burn cars over, gets the rest of us in a frenzy. I’m pretty sure there was a reason to go after Iran. I don’t pretend to have intel like many on here. ( apparently everyone in recent history thought so also . I can play the tapes for you since it’s obvious you won’t search for them)

do you really think we’re all up in arms over the ballroom? Now if you’d stop shooting at him, maybe stop burning down whole cities, stop shooting National Guard soldiers, we might get back to normal.

You're one of the people I am talking about. So funny to watch. The only way you can be trolled is because you allow yourself to. He wouldn't be doing this if you did not decide to go on all out war against him with lies and misinformation.

Under Biden in his first week he closed the keystone pipeline starting the upwards climb in oil/ gas prices to appease the renewable energy crowd.

To add on, if Biden had gone into Iran, the resulting gas price increase would have just added on to the already 3 yr fuel cost and inflation disaster. We would have all just shrugged our shoulders and said, “why not, it’s all gone to sh!t anyway”. We would not however, had tried to murder Biden. So there is that

Meanwhile in TX and FL things have been booming for 6 yrs while Portland, Seattle and San Francisco lead the nation in office vacancies.

And then when people like Newsom do the “hindsight being 20/20”, or “ we can’t be Monday morning quarterbacks” nonsense, they’re admitting they were wrong… they’re devoted followers ignore it.

No, because they have them. Which proves my point, once Iran has them we lose all leverage.

Buck Rogers 05-06-2026 06:44 AM

Maybe watch the Rubio White House brief from yesterday. He addresses the "nuke armed Iran" question and distills it down to a pretty logical conclusion. "logical" if one wants to use logic as opposed to a political filter.

Back to the topic of the thread…

we hit the breaking point yet?

my CNBC app shows oil in red… that can’t be good right?? My math is fuzzy but if the price gets lower, is that closer or farther way from $150?

Yeah it’s kind of run its course. Funny enough I hope they’re actually right about everything. Some type of agreement allegedly brewing, oil down, market up. Very possible just another pump and dump though we will see in a few days.

It’s been fun though, Extenda out.

Agreed! They turn everything into furries using kitty litter boxes, pronouns, Whoopie, and the green new deal. I am sure I missed a few. I am guessing “Operation Warp Speed” and eating horse paste might have caused this. They are starting to sound like the people they complain about.

METO, give me a break. WWII - for the Brits - started on 3 Jan 1939, and Germany wasn’t defeated until May
8 1945. But FOOD rationing continued all the way into July 1954, a total of nine years after the war. Gas rationing went on until 1950. And they - that is the Brits - declared war , not because the Nazis were threatening to get a nuke, but because they invaded Poland.



We’ve experienced - what? Gas PRICES went up $1.55 a gallon?

But no real shortages, no rationing, not even the long lines and odd-even fill up days that US implemented during the Arab oil embargo’s of the 70s when gas prices QUADRUPLED.

Have we really become such a nation of wimps? That a 52% increase in gas prices for a few months is going to bring us to our knees? That’s 52% of the average 3-4% of their income American families spend on gasoline?

To stop apocalyptic religious lunatics from getting a nuke?

We are just calling you out. It is all out there for you to see. It's funny how you push agendas, but when called out on it you pretend they don't exist or people are just overreacting.

Also funny how it is time to "wind this thread down" when all their talking points get shot down and they have nothing to come back with.

Botched. That unhappy result rarely offers cover. Nor should it. Tradecraft and surveillance are/were adequate vis-à-vis Iran’s warhead program. Regime change uprisings forecast in the wake of the Ayatollah hit never materialized of course. Childishly amateur speculation runaway there. Severity of fallout ahead is the primary focus now. We already won? I haven’t forgotten waiting for 5 gallons in those rationing lines fwiw. But that was many strokes ago. Give meto a break somebody:)

I can’t even answer this without laughing my a$$ off….I think it started when dudes started wearing skinny jeans and pilots started wheeling around in those shoes with wheels. Oh and lighted roller board wheels.

Thats when they took away porn in the cockpit and started calling it a Flight deck.

More projection. Who here is pushing woke agendas? How can you claim to know what an individual’s position is on X when the entire conversation so far has been about Y? It’s like the old GWB trope: “You’re either with us or you’re a terrorist”. You might have some salient points regarding the discussion at hand, but when you start lumping anyone critical of your position into some grotesque caricature you imagine a “lib” or whatever to be, they’re inclined to disengage. Quit arguing with the strawman & maybe try addressing the actual argument. The “joy” you find in your perceived roiling of those you disagree with isn’t moving anybody forward.

I agree, the actual argument is “Economic Impacts of Iran War”

today’s numbers,

•oil at $95.34…. Closer to $60 than $150
•Stock market at records in atleast 2 markets
•GDP Q1 2.0%. Estimated 4% for year
•Unemployment 4.2% with CA leading not in a good way
• private sector job growth very strong
•govt job growth low
•illegal immigration and associated costs-record low
•47 year Iranian dictator dead (we don’t like dictators)
•newborns expected to have thousand in 18 yrs due to Trump Accounts.
•Middle and lower class experienced higher tax returns
•Venezuelans dancing in the streets, first US-Venezuelan flight in 6 years completed
•Violent crimes throughout the US at low levels
•Billionaire high net worth individuals and companies moving to TN and FL
•Founder of Google moves out of CA because he doesn’t want to repeat Socialism like where he fled from.

Now if we can just get whacko’s, who hate billionaires, from burning down CA towns, all would be well

Show us anywhere in the world where oil is selling for less than $150/barrel. You don't understand how the market works do you. The futures price hasn't been anywhere near the selling price since this war started, but you would have to actually read stuff to understand that. Have any idea how far our reserves have been depleted? No, you'd have to read to understand that as well. Most importantly, and what this thread is supposed to be about is do you understand the long-term impacts of either of those things under the current conditions?

Yup, after starting this career pre9/11, several furloughs, companies goings tits up, management team changes in the double digits, I have a pretty good understanding of what is a catastrophe and what is not.

The majors are vertically integrated and own their oil own production. Show us how much your airline paid for you to DH on them.

Show us how much Atlas and FedEx pay to DH on your airline then run around with all your facts.l, and pretend your airline will go BK from DH its own employees and gate agents.

The Independent and smaller refineries will pay more for a supply chain disruption.

What Pinneaple fails to
mention is his company has:

had management attempt to fire pilots over repeating movie quotes. Quotes made by a Harris Liberal btw.

Has posted videos of bearded men in leather rainbow skirts dancing in front of 330’s with teenage girls.

Has had 70yr old chief pilots get on video with HR claiming how great it was to have a gender neutral dress code while historically having one of the strictest psych evaluators in the industry.

One rumor was a new hire almost got fired because “somebody” thought the new hire presented himself as an alphabet member, and when invited to an alphabet party, that new hire politely declined.

So when guys like Pineapple say it’s all fake, I tend to disagree. I’d like to be able to quote “The Hangover” once in a while without fear of retribution.
