We’re currently at about $3.20 per litre, or in freedom units, it equates to around $8.34 per gallon.

The price of PVC and other petroleum based products has increased by 30%, as of this week.

As a builder, I’m horrified what’s about to go down here. Prices have only just stabilised after the previous inflation period/corporate fisting.

That’s lower than Washington State before the war began. I’d take that price any day.💯

Around $4.79-$4.99 in the Phoenix area, we were around $3.79 before we started blowing shit up. 

Costco was I think $4.49 when I went there a couple days ago, so many cars it looked like the line to get out of A1 after the race with people waiting to get gas. No way I am waiting 20-30 minutes in line to get gas. I'll just pay a little more and save the time/frustration of that cluster fuck.

That’s just one stick. The last building I did had close to 400’ of 2” copper. Add in the other various sizes plus fittings… Things increase very quickly. That is exactly why I watch gas prices. It’s a perfect indicator of what’s to come.

I am beyond grateful 90% of our house materials were purchased before the current shit show started, and what's left is already in country and relatively close by. Prices are going to get UGLY here really soon if this keeps going much longer.

I was in the market for a diesel truck, but may hold off. Or maybe this is a good time to buy? 

I saw a few c class motorhome dropped there prices some.  Over sacurated market a lot of them for sale .  I don’t think diesel pick ups would come down much though. Not many deals on bikes either . The best deal is a 04 cr250 in Burlington Wi. 3,100 . You could flip it & make an easy 1.200.

I’m in construction as well. Everything will go up for the foreseeable future. Construction supplies (asphalt, plastic etc) and diesel. Contractors that don’t have fuel escalation clauses will take it in the shorts and try to gain it back on future jobs so it will take awhile to work through system. 

Much of the west and Midwest is in record drought so farmers and ranchers could get hit particularly hard. If you have a rain dance, now is the time to practice it!

Hopefully it all ends soon, but it doesn’t seem like it.

This won't end well. Asia's industry is slowing down by this, so expect them to put pressure. First in diplomatic ways then in "What ever is needed" ways.

This sounds bad, he says you guys don't need the oil from the Hormuz strait and indeed you don't. But because of that "little incident" there in the strait the world wide oil price is going through the roof. So also the oil pumped in Venezuela and sold to the USA will be damn expensive. Would this brilliant president understand that? That besides choking the Asian countries and Cuba, he is also pissing in the faces of the blue collar Americans.

Respectfully dude, for someone who doesn’t even live over here you sure do post a whole lot of commentary on everything the government here does and our “leaders”. 

Again not that it’s wrong to be critical or have opinions of other places, but man you post about the US more than some of the critical guys that live here in the US!

I’m not saying you are wrong in what you say, and I may even agree to an extent. But I would just say, 


Take a chill pill esè 😎

There’s a term used for guys like Matti. 

Brain Worm. It references the harmful intrusive thoughts that prevent people from accepting anything positive while seeing the world, people and themselves as all doom and gloom. Trump is Matti’s Brain Worm.

If Trump would only harm the USA, I wouldn't care a bit... Because nations get the leaders they deserve, but that the world is now bleeding because mostly poor people in the USA where naïve enough to trust a rich conman who has no empathy is problematic.

You can't argue with that I guess?

Thing is, you’re obsessive about it. I have a problem with it but, I’m not in here infecting every single thread with Trump drivel or, my disdain for what I’m seeing. 

Yes, this is the non-moto section. Sure there’s political subjects, memes yet, every single post/thread regardless of the subject is an opportunity to post about Trump for you. See the difference? You’re like MRSA

When I post in non-moto it is in political topics and then you can't around Trump. Save Act, High Fuel Prices, So if you came in possession of the Epstein list…, Iran, How dug in are they?…. Iran.

That I start posting in memes is just a reaction on the childish attacks that even there are launched, but @Joey Bridges has special status as untouchable I guess. Because most of those memes are cesspit level.
