    Really good question:

    US refineries produce 9.3 to 9.8 million Bb per day. US consumes 8.9 million Bb per day.

    That's an excess of between 0.4 M and 0.9M PER DAY. or 14.6M Bb to 32.8M Bb per year of excess gasoline production in the US . (US Energy Information Agency).

    Again, the US is a NET EXPORTER of finished gasoline, just as it is a NET EXPORTER of diesel.

    So why, if Trump's US oil donors have no supply excuse, are BOTH gas and diesel so expensive?

    Blaming #Ukraine is a smokescreen to hide more Trump oil corruption.

  3. Apologies if anyone's sick of hearing about this, but it brings me seriously devilish glee.

    My Anti-Spotify video passed 2k views, and if every person who viewed it switched to Metrolist, then my stupid little video has potentially cost Spotify... wait for it...

    $536,731.92 per year.

    Fuck yeah.

    (Also I promise I've since learned how to frame a video.)

    holy cryballs. This is like when I went to upgrade my sister's NovaLauncher because apparently they inject ads into the app drawer now? and instead of the $7ish price I paid many moons ago it was FORTY DOLLARS. again.. FORTY DOLLARS for Nova Launcher. What in the insanity is going on.

  12. "Profit Streak".

    Yeah, I guess that's one word for #PriceGouging

    "Corporate profits have reached a record share of the U.S. economy" ...doesn't happen by accident. #Greedflation

    Corporate America Aims to Preserve Profit Streak During Iran War nytimes.com/2026/04/15/busines

  13. Why Americans Shouldn’t Sacrifice While Oil Companies Profit From the Iran War

    Politicians urge sacrifice, but oil companies profit from Iran war price hikes. Here’s why gas prices are a choice, not a necessity.

  14. Government halves fuel excise for three months as $2.55 billion handout to fuel companies feeling the pinch
    abc.net.au/news/2026-03-30/fue

    There, I fixed the headline for you. It used to say "Government halves fuel excise for three months to ease cost of petrol, diesel."

    Pardon my cynicism, but I think servos and companies producing petrol and diesel won't pass along the full savings to customers. They'll price-gouge like they've always price-gouged. We will not see the cost of fuel fall by 26.3 cents a litre, and taxpayers will foot the bill for $2.55 billion. This is a gift from the government to fuel companies that are affected by people cutting their use of petrol and diesel.

    If the Trump/Israel invasion of Iran continues more than three months, the government will repeat their misguided $2.25 Billion gesture.

    Later, when the government eases-off this fuel excise cut, the fuel companies will use it as a pretext to jump up the price even further.

  15. I filled up for $2.84 the day this stupid war started, knowing the prices were going up. I was half empty today when I filled up again for $3.59, because I'm not waiting to fill up my WHOLE tank when it climbs up to $4.34 (or more).

  16. Holy WTF, HP? The entire *printer* barely cost that much when I first bought it a few years ago.

    Funnily enough, have ordered alternative non-HP ink instead. I can afford a whole new printer if need be (and to get away from HP with their evil "subscription" imposition mentality, would quite like the excuse to jump, tbh).
