I guess you missed this .
I'm sure this one will gets closed also.

Yes, I saw that post. It was closed because it became too political.

This post is slightly different and I hoped it wouldn't suffer the same fate. Unfortunately, it isn't going well.

I'm not going political....are you going there?

Nope, just asked if you had the stones to name names, but you don’t.
Instead you took a personal shot at me.
Figures….

As you well know that would be against the rules.

No it’s not. Explain specific policy measures that can be taken without denigrating parties or individuals. Policy discussion is not against forum rule; ranting about specific people or parties is against the rules. What are some specific legal measures that can be taken to reduce fuel prices?

I have come to accept that "The NEWS" is just some one's attempt to influence the population".

The delivery of objective facts is cloudy at best.

Life is getting difficult.

A person has to learn how to distinguish between Opinion and News.

My tractor does work at times as does my pickup, but my pickup has hauled grocery's most every week.
It may have been at the same time it was making a parts or supply run.

One factor in fuel prices and most other prices that has not been mentioned is the futures market. When the rules got changed so that the traders couldn't be required to accept physical custody of the product.
If futures traders were required to be able to handle what they were buying and selling much of the speculation and inflationary pricing would go away.

My opinion but the one I believe in, future trading with no intention of accepting the product does nothing but enrich do nothings.

How it's played and will continue to play. Me, I'm into physical custody of certain commodities, mainly gold and other precious metals.

Speculation pumps liquidly into a market. If traders had to take physical custody of oil, there would only be oil companies trading among themselves and then they would have monopoly power over a market.

They could set any price they want. Trust me, you want speculative traders in a market.

Your opinion not mine, and I don't limit my opinion of futures to oil it includes all commodities.
And no I do not want speculative traders unless they are willing to accept a million tons of grain beef or oil.
