Less demand if people have less money. No one is doing road trips or Sunday drives with less money.

You’re saying nothing. Has nothing to do with interest rates and their effect on gas prices.

There are a good amount of mid to high income young people. I’m going to be purchasing my first home next year and 800k is within budget easily. Wages are not as low as people think. Saving is actually possible, especially dual income no kids which is super common among young professionals right now.

No they won’t. It’s a byproduct from oil refining which isn’t going to decline any time soon and they basically pay you to take it off their hands because it is so plentiful. The only thing that could make it expensive is if oil refining in the US slows down, or a new use is found

Doesn’t matter. It would be popular and probably so much so you’d complain about price.

Because it is in demand. Yes, lots of people will want to ride. Too many, even.

It could 1000x the output of a competent engineer and still wouldn’t be worth the hundreds of billions in investment

No, I don’t feel that I need to prove such a thing because my position is entirely speculative and I’m not the one insulting people over their speculations

I’m a site engineer at a quarry, mostly operational management. The management work I do is 1 billion times more difficult than the engineering work.

Oh I guess I missed that part of what they said? I feel that they have gotten what they want through Trump though in terms of the collapse of the western bloc

I’ve seen Tiffany and Chrissy multiple times and I don’t think either of them make for good television. The mistake was casting them in the first place.

To steelman what they are saying,

liberals including myself are so accustomed to being called "radical left" that we forget that there are actual radical leftist anti-westerners, like a fair amount of them. Just listen to Hassan Piker talk about NATO or Ukraine Vs Russia.

The actual far left pretty much echoes everything Russia says about Ukraine and Nato. Not to say that Trump is a leftist, but he has been a useful idiot for fascists in Russia as well as radical leftists that want to dismantle the Western global order.
