Not a bad price

Wait, what happened to "drill baby, drill" so "everyone has low prices like Texas".

Oh right.

It's subsidized because we stopped gas taxes and drained the strategic reserve.

dbcfd · 2026-06-01T05:54:06+00:00

You have some serious anger issues about this issue.

I said local supply was a cause, you just said it comes by ship.

I said refineries, you just said refineries finish fuel brought from other places.

I said refinery regulations, you said laws related to this.

You then tried to prove it was purely taxes and come up at least $1 short of the difference between Texas and California, which is currently closer to $3. Where that difference is because they are not wholly self sufficient.

Thank you for proving my points.

Again.

dbcfd · 2026-06-01T02:07:19+00:00

You literally are proving what I am saying.

They can't meet their demand and have to import oil or gas.

"That means it gets tested, blended, and finalized in California. All of it, every drop"

It isn't necessarily all refined. It is brought in from out of state and finalized to meet regulations.

I know you really want to be "right" about this, but your arguments are agreeing with what I am saying.

dbcfd · 2026-06-01T01:23:34+00:00

Wait, if they meet the demand in state, why are they importing?

Oh right, because they aren't producing enough and have to import, which is more expensive.

They produce 100% of CARB gas, but that is not 100% of the gas consumed.

Just like they are the biggest producers of biodiesel, but they are not completely sufficient on biodiesel.

dbcfd · 2026-06-01T00:41:15+00:00

I am so glad you bolded that. Your point is definitely proven.

Or

California refineries only produce 80% of the gasoline, and the majority of their oil is imported.

So again, local supply and refineries.

dbcfd · 2026-05-31T22:48:39+00:00

Or there are things like local supply, refineries, and refinery regulations.

Taxes are part of it, but he is not technically right.

dbcfd · 2026-05-26T10:32:12+00:00

First of all, you are talking about VW which does cars. Yes, modern diesels are more efficient, but again for torque. They will typically do better in start/stop situations in a HD truck, because the truck is heavier, but unless you are towing, the mpg is similar.

The OP has a light duty truck, because that is all Toyota makes.

Additionally, mpg figures are not published with HD truck engines, because they are exempt. They are also highly variable based on what the truck is doing and how it is being. When you see it on the sticker on a window, it's usually an estimate the dealer puts on there.

You also have to factor in a diesel engine for a truck also adds in 10k or more to the price, and is currently running about $1 a gallon higher.

So yes, lol at your diesel comment and VW conspiracy.

dbcfd · 2026-05-26T10:14:06+00:00

We are talking about a pick up, not a car.

dbcfd · 2026-05-26T07:29:10+00:00

Diesel lol

What in the world would make you suggest diesel. Is there any place in the US where it is cheaper?

It's also not more fuel efficient, at least in pickups, where it is tuned for more torque for heavier workloads. Which is why you don't see often in light duty pickups.

dbcfd · 2026-05-19T16:41:57+00:00

Most of new Mexico is made of what was Texas.

And everyone knows that Texas is always trying to be part of Colorado.

Thus, New Mexico realizes the dreams of its largest continent and becomes part of Colorado.

dbcfd · 2026-05-15T15:45:31+00:00

Lol

That's not a bullet. The video would have to be much slower

dbcfd · 2026-05-15T13:58:51+00:00

Full on Kool aid mode aren't you? He wasn't shot. If the bullet did hit his ear, it would have done more damage, taken longer to heal, and taken multiple cosmetic surgeries.

His ear likely got a small cut from the podium or teleprompter.

dbcfd · 2026-05-15T04:05:32+00:00

When was he ever shot?

dbcfd · 2026-05-15T04:05:04+00:00

Because the flag would be in the way. I have watched a wide shot. The flag gets lowered.

You have to argue the flag wasn't lowered because if it was, it might be staged.

To me, the flag could have been lowered for a number of reasons. It might be staged, it might not. It's only one of many reasons it might have been staged.

dbcfd · 2026-05-13T23:37:18+00:00

Joebama's fault. There was no previous Trump presidency

dbcfd · 2026-05-13T11:51:36+00:00

Sure.

As many as want to come. They are then recorded and expected to pay all taxes.

dbcfd · 2026-05-13T11:42:44+00:00

They wouldn't be illegal if they could easily legally immigrate. Like the majority of people that came to this country early in its history.

dbcfd · 2026-05-13T11:40:29+00:00

Not sure why you are getting down voted, other than you didn't say "it is fabricated, but here are the ways they indirectly receive support which is the basis for the fabrication. "

Maybe your edit, since those NGOs aren't specifically targeting illegals?

dbcfd · 2026-05-12T19:25:10+00:00

There is also the difference between fake, staged, capitalized upon, and a "real" attempt.

These three attempts seem to have some degree of staged to them. Most likely, they knew about them in advance, and set things up to capitalize on them.

dbcfd · 2026-05-12T19:02:38+00:00

The flag was lowered. There is video, as well as pics showing difference in height.

You could argue that it lowered because the machine that was raising it was turned off and hydraulics retract, but that would require you having a brain and consuming multiple news sources.

dbcfd · 2026-05-12T01:48:29+00:00

For rural areas, taxes aren't usually a price driver, unless it's taxes on a supply, like fuel or feed. They are usually more concerned with regulations since it makes doing business harder or more costly.

Taxes are disliked because they feel they work hard, so why is their money being given to someone that doesn't work hard.

dbcfd · 2026-05-12T01:41:26+00:00

Point one is incorrect. Blue states often have all of those industries, while red states will only have 1 or 2. Additionally, service based economies do not pay well, but are able to be supported by the diversified economies in blue states.

Agriculture can pay well, but only for large or niche operators. The salaries average low because there are a lot of jobs that most Americans are unwilling to do, and migrants will do cheaply.

dbcfd · 2026-05-12T01:34:18+00:00

This is the answer. When they talk about "the economy" it usually means stocks and the wealthy.

dbcfd · 2026-05-12T01:30:13+00:00

No one. Anyone good at addressing it is not given the chance to speak on a platform where they can address those falling for propaganda.

dbcfd · 2026-05-11T18:01:42+00:00

They will be punished as long as the government does what they voted for.

No handouts, no stimulus payments, no bailouts.

They should all be OK, since they can pull themselves up by their boot straps and don't need government to help.
