Enjoyed Joel and Bill's conversation video. However, it must have been early in the day as I only saw cups on the table. Where were the wine glasses? I have been fortunate to obtain Bill's Malbec wine from Argentina. It is very good and the only red wine my wife enjoys. Please continue to bring some sanity to the world.

I hesitate to write this comment, but what the heck; here goes.

I'm 83 and was born and raised in CALI. Spent the first half of my life there. I worked for Rothschild Refineries when gas was $0.30/gallon at the pump for Premium Ethal. Employees could buy gas at the Refinery, in Santa Fe Springs, CA for 9 cents/gallon. The reason gas is so high in CALI is Federal and State Taxes. The Taxes are supposed to pay for the highways and byways. In those days the Freeways were two lanes divided highways. Last time I was in LA the freeways were eight lanes on each side of the divider and three of those were fast lanes, pay, carpool, and busses: at peak travel times it was still stop and go for miles. California is a good place to be from: as far from as you can get. That's why I am now a Floridian and live in Paradise. Fresh air, green trees, and nice rain to keep the air clean. But I fear that it is going to disappear, not from rising waters due to 'Global Warming' or Sink Holes. It seems that they want to be like California. I may have to go to Argentina and become an 'ORIGINARIO'. Just Saying! Florida Jimmy.

amazing the number of elected genius’s that are currently viewing their small intestine’s up close. This nation is sitting on possibly the largest volume of crude oil reserves in the world. Up domestic production, open the pipeline and eliminate dependence on foreign oil. Keep the money here, use our resources. Basic 101 stuff. I wonder if the geniuses have ever worked with their hands to earn a nickel, highly doubtful 🤨

I want to lodge a complaint about not receiving Tom Dyson's recommendations any longer. I was getting them and then he disappeared in 2020 when his Mom died. I know I paid for his advice because I have his gold and shipping picks from May through December of 2020. I never heard again until he showed up as part of Bonner's service which I had back to the Agora days. What goes on in this publishing business is whacky!

I foresee increasing use of eBikes. They go faster than some motor scooters but cost as much if not more

Time to nationalize the Big Oil companies. They are damaging the economy and families.

The quickest way to ease the price of fuel is simply to reduce the pump tax and lest drivers keep more money in their pockets.

Lots of room to manipulate the pump price transparently or not.
