Local communities in Germany are chopping down their forests to make ground up pellet wood fuel for their citizens.

I read this a month ago. none to be found in Germany.
Kind of like here, when we have a hurricane, good luck finding a generator.
It pays to be prepared.

I am willing to have some short term pain if this all makes Bidet look worse to the country and the electorate.

Not that I don't agree with you however it is hurting a lot of people financially that might not recover for years.
One of the biggest group of people it is effecting are retirees or people about to become retirees, most are on or will be on a fixed income.

Biden’s economy has hurt my family to the tune of at least several hundred thousand dollars already, and more is coming. I’m glad this is short term pain to some, but that’s surely not how I would describe it for many. But yes, I hope this results in a lot of people waking up.

I've been burning wood since 1970. Although we have baseboard heat for the warmer Spring & Fall months, the wood stove usually gets fired up sometime in November & it's our primary source of heat until Spring.

I've been expecting the woke, green crowd to start bitching about wood burning for years. Now that energy prices have gone up, and more people are thinking about alternative sources of heat, strict regulations will be coming soon. Burning wood makes smoke, you know.

understand the pain point, trust me

between my 401k decline, my investment accounts cratering, higher costs, lower wages, cutbacks in benefits, lousy medical...well you get the idea

but this all needs to be placed at the feet of every democrat in this country and if you're a democrat then you are part of the problem, and not part of the solution

I don't think that will happen until individuals truly feel the pain from their bad decisions

Unfortunately, I think you’re right. Sometimes the only thing that gets people to actually change is pain and suffering. Stupid hurts, and in this case, it’s a lot of stupid and it’s going to hurt a lot.

I just hope things don’t get too out of control in the process.

The Saudis Snub Biden Again
OPEC+ hears U.S. pleas and doubles its oil production cuts.

Fist-bump Joe gets f*cked by OPEC and Saudi again… cut production by 2 million barrels per day.

WE ARE SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS!

All it would take to resolve the oil issue is to allow USA oil companies to start producing again!

Stop bowing to the far left greenies before the Country is destroyed!

What is more frightening to me is Putin using nuclear devices… I have less than zero confidence in Biden’s
competency to manage that crisis.

May God have mercy on us all!

I was comfortably retired for several years; now, like you, my retirement nest egg has dropped over half a million in value, at the same time I need to have care-givers for my wife suffering from aphasia and balance issues. I consider us fortunate that we were able to save for retirement; I did not anticipate that government policies would sink us.

I implore all of the Forum - you and all you know
GET OUT AND VOTE!

I wonder if there’s anyone that has ever had the solution to OPEC market manipulation. Hmmm....

Hey Prince Whatever your name is, the price of any military equipment we sell you to keep your ass in power just went up the same amount that a barrel of oil costs.
