The Morning Rant - Heritage Foundation’s Incoherent Excuse-Making For Biden’s Rising Gasoline Prices
[Buck Throckmorton]
"They make deals with people who hate you. They secretly sell out your interests, then they beg you to tithe like it's the medieval church. Like you owe them your money. That's the system that we've had for decades. Maybe that's why no matter how much money you send, nothing gets more conservative. Just the opposite. You wonder just how long this system can continue.Recently, Heritage’s Nicolas Loris had a syndicated column, “What’s Behind Rising Gas Prices?” (safe link – not to Heritage’s web site) in which he tried to make the argument that rising gas prices have nothing to do with Biden. Nothing at all. But here are some of the things Heritage does blame for gas prices rising so sharply since Biden became President just a few months ago:
• OPEC production levels in 2020 (while ignoring 2021.)
• A law passed in 1920.
• A law passed in 2005.
• Weather
• A change of seasons.
• Gas taxes - which are unchanged since Biden took office.
• President Biden’s executive order suspending all drilling and fracking on government lands.
• President Biden’s moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands.
• President Biden committing the US to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, which merely seeks to destroy the oil and gas industry in the United States. Here are a few highlights of Heritage’s embarrassing effort to protect Biden.
In an effort to boost prices when they began falling sharply a year ago, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia agreed to continue curtailing production. Now, however, demand is picking back up.Heritage advises us that OPEC cut production a year ago. But prices only started rising a couple months ago. What’s going on with OPEC now? Oh. “OPEC’s Production Rises In March As Iran Boosts Output” Oh well. That would explain why Heritage is dishonestly talking about year-old OPEC production cuts rather than current OPEC production levels now that their man Biden is in the White House.
Refining is the second-largest cost, making up a quarter of the retail price for gasoline. The recent severe cold snap in the Gulf Coast not only reduced domestic crude production by 10%, it also knocked 20% of the entire country’s refining capacity offline.So, with the freeze in the rear-view mirror and production rapidly coming back on line, prices should head back down, right? Funny, but that part was somehow omitted. Because Heritage knows darn well that gas prices are only going up under Biden’s anti-petroleum policies.
Federal and state taxes, on average, add another 30 cents per gallon and make up 22% of the retail price.Wait. Is he saying that new gas taxes have suddenly appeared in the cost per gallon? No. Heritage is now just adding distractions. Those same taxes per gallon were in the price of gas before Biden took office and have nothing to do with the rapid increase in gas prices since Biden’s inauguration.
Americans pay higher “hidden costs” today from bad public policy decisions made decades or even more than a century ago. For instance, the Jones Act, passed in 1920, mandates that any goods shipped by water between two points in America must be transported on a U.S.-built, U.S.-flagged vessel with a crew that is at least 75% American.Does the Jones Act have a provision that kicked in 101 years after being passed, affecting gas prices in 2021 in a manner that didn’t affect gas prices in 2020? Of course not, Heritage has completely abandoned trying to explain why gas prices have shot up under Biden, and is now simply trying to distract the reader by pointing out that there are other costs in a gallon of gas besides the petroleum. There are still more of these:
Another hidden cost is the Renewable Fuel Standard, passed in 2005 and expanded in 2007. The policy mandates that billions of gallons of ethanol (primarily corn-based) be blended into gasoline each year.Again, Heritage is creating a distraction. Do the Renewable Fuel Standards of 2005 and 2007 affect gasoline prices in 2021? Sure. But no more so than they affected gas prices in 2020, or 2019, or 2018, etc. The Renewable Fuel Standard Act has nothing to do with the spike in gasoline prices under Joe Biden. In trying to protect President Biden from the destructive consequences of his anti-petroleum policies, The Heritage Foundation has published an illogical and incoherent piece. But it is a helpful reminder that Heritage is now our adversary in the battle for freedom against the governing class. Heritage, along with Democrats and anti-American globalists, wants to make you suffer with higher gas prices, reducing both your standard of living and your freedom.

I'm not exactly sure what or why organizations like Federalist do this. They tend to back off eventually when they get enough heat (for example they started out trashing Trump then became more positive toward his programs and decisions without personally praising or giving him any credit).
But I think Tucker has them read just right: they take money, expect donations, but never actually accomplish anything whatsoever.

One good thing about Dems getting their Marxist on in the open is that Grift Inc won't be long for the world.
No need for a Heritage smokescreen anymore when the Dems decide they don't GaF if you know they are out to destroy you or not.

The very idea of a conscience was killed off in increments. I suspect in this country it stared with "if it feel good, do it" and moved toward "what's right for you" destroying "what's right". Now we also have "my truth", but the truth is more like The Flying Lizards, I Want Money. No ideal feels as good as a flashy 7,000 square foot apartment in DC and generational wealth.

I wouldn't go back to drinking Coke products, but they apparently took it in the teeth with their "be less white" crap.
Coca-Cola's chief general counsel Bradley Gayton -- who designed Coke's diversity plan and tried to impose racial quotas in hiring lawyers -- has abruptly quit the company with a nice, fat settlement:
Coke also put a "pause" on their diversity scheme, according to the new general counsel. This part is kind of weird though:
"As part of the agreement, [Gayton] will receive a $4 million sign-on payment and a monthly consulting fee of $666,666, beginning this month and ending April 2022," said Coke on the lawyer's resignation.

Heritage is not a monolithic organization. There are factions there. And many of the people there deeply loathe people in other factions. They are also beholding to major foreign corporations who donate enormous sums.
The new leadership is much less conservative than the original leadership as well. Kay Cole James has been a stunning failure as president. Edwin Feulner seems to have been a committed conservative at the start but he seems to have succumbed to the inevitable desire to preserve the organization rather than the core principles.

Coca-Cola's chief general counsel Bradley Gayton
==
Hey, I was gonna talk about that ! Right, so he wanted a quota, his plan : "penalize outside law firms if they did not meet at least 30 percent of the billed time from "diverse attorneys, "with at least half of that time from black attorneys." You will not believe this , but Mr. Gayton himself is black. Too bad when he crafted his racist policy, he was thinking with his ass. But maybe that is how he does his best thinking. Can you imagine a jewish attorney demanding that at least 30 percent of billed time from Coke's outside law firms go to jewish attorneys ?

All of this, every bit of it, is corporations.
The Dems and the GOP are beholden to Corporate interests and do whatever they say.
That's why Trump was so damaging and hated. He immediately forced Ford and everyone else to pay more to make their shit in Mexico and China and come back here to sell it.
The COVID and Fauci? Big Pharma making billions.
Gas prices? OPEC making billions.
Rising costs of lumber, food, everything else? You get it. And every one of these assholes atop a corporate tower will never stop producing shit in China and selling it here.
China controls the worlds manufacturing. By design.

In fairness (not that I am interested in being fair), it is a bit more complicated than even this. Of the things you mentioned, most of those won't have immediate effects on supply or delivered price. The pipeline (Phase Four) wasn't operational yet, the moratorium doesn't effect current production, no Paris-related changes yet, etc.
All of these things will have very bad future effects that producers, transporters and traders will start hedge against. That will cause earlier action, but it's still very recent. It's all bad and it all has influence, but I don't think it is the whole (or maybe even majority as of yet) answer. Heritage's answers aren't answers at all.
Not one mention of massive stimulus and inflationary monetary activity. The funny money sloshing through the system has to go somewhere. It is starting to leak out. It had been largely contained since 2008 in equities, bonds and real estate, with relatively little hitting commodities. That's different now. We've had a lot more monetary inflation and - unlike in the 2008-2019 period - massive helicopter drops with more to come. Inflation is back.

After drinking it almost 4 decades (since a little kid), I gave up all Coke products cold turkey last September for health reasons...
If I could give it up again, I would, but I do feel happy that my support for them dried up (and wouldn't you know - it also helped my cancer bloodwork numbers, even though I was only drinking 16oz of caffeine free diet when I quit for good).
Boycott to send a message and to improve your health - it's the ultimate win/win (now, if someone tells me that my now even-more-used tea bag company is also an issue, then I might be sad

Just watched Mary Barra, CEO of GM on CNBC this morning. She said that all of the company's product lines, including it's EV's are sold out for this year. The majority of trucks that are managing to be built( remember there is a chip shortage) are sold as they come off the line. Dealers are simply becoming the delivery system for them.
I know my long time Chevrolet dealer has two new trucks on the lot and about 1/4 the normal car stock. Used vehicles sell almost as fast.

Everything at the grocery store costs more. Sometimes it is just a few cents so barely noticeable. You don;t always notice when something that cost $3.49 now costs $3.99 but that is a pretty big increase especially when it is across the board. The biggest fraud is paper products. Everything now comes in giant rolls so you can;t compare prices. When something is "on sale" you can;t figure out whether it is really cheaper than the brand next to it which is not on sale.

So oil companies responded by... jacking up the price of diesel and keeping it higher ever since then because F you.

Yeah I burnt a chunk of my Western Hero book sales proceeds on groceries delivered from the store and it was... a lot less than last time. Everything is more expensive, across the board, from just a year ago. Sometimes depressingly more so.
And the food companies can't really reduce the size of packaging much more either which was their go-to move when Obama was in office.
Sadly because the recovery and booming economy was snuffed out by crazed Wuhan Flu response, container sizes never went back to normal.

Heritage Foundation tipped its hand very early on. The board threw out its co-founder Paul Weyrich, a patriot and fighter.
Like 75% of the conservative movement, Heritage is, at best, a giant waste of time and money.

I am really starting to worry about inflation. The last time I was this concerned was in 2009, but the Fed proved me very wrong by being able to contain inflation to the financial markets, with it really only leaking into financialized things in the real world (namely real estate being what most normal people saw). Now, though, prices are starting to move a lot more. The funny money is being dropped directly into people's pockets now, and the state itself is going on a bender. It's leaking out all over the place and my fear is that it becomes a torrent.
Real estate is absolutely insane. I bought my house at the end of December, so basically four months ago and change. Zillow has it's estimate for it at +3.4% from when I bought it. The top and bottom of their range has moved +5.5% from when the listing first went off the market (when it reflected only the recent sale and active listings nearby).
And that's just the now-classical inflation in real estate. My grocery bills have moved by about five percent since the first week I moved here, especially in meats, cheeses and paper products.

Everything at the grocery store costs more. Sometimes it is just a few cents so barely noticeable. You don;t always notice when something that cost $3.49 now costs $3.99 but that is a pretty big increase especially when it is across the board. The biggest fraud is paper products. Everything now comes in giant rolls so you can;t compare prices. When something is "on sale" you can;t figure out whether it is really cheaper than the brand next to it which is not on sale.

I considered a diesel BMW back in early 2019, but couldn't find one I could afford that I liked. The big Buick LaCrosse, fortunately, gets very good mileage for its size (about 22 with 70% city driving, 30 on the highway), and runs on regular. And it is nearly paid for.

Change your frame of reference. This isn't about making money, doing business, serving customers, serving shareholders, developing growth or anything else. This is about ideology and, consequently, about waging ideological war. The board rooms are majority communist and HR departments are entirely comprised of commisars (political officers).
Did the Russian Purges and Hitler's genocide and Pol Pot's slaughter of urbanites or Mao's mass slaying of traditional peasants make any economic sense? No, they didn't. Not a single action taken by an ideological warrior has even a single economic motive.
The great murderous barbarians have embodied, to the core of their beings, the ideal of the "non-profit enterprise." They truly did not care about money. Anyone who does care about money doesn't slaughter his own market.

I believe not too long ago Heritage made a big deal about turn away/sending back a couple 100K in Big Tech money ... but that's always pretty laughable thing to do since it's just some combination of an admission that a donation might improperly influence them and a negotiation for bigger bribe (perhaps to be delivered by subtler means). "You can't buy us! Well, certainly not for a measly 250K. And definitely not via a donation to our foundation (wink, wink)."

Real estate is absolutely insane. I bought my house
at the end of December, so basically four months ago and change. Zillow
has it's estimate for it at +3.4% from when I bought it. The top and
bottom of their range has moved +5.5% from when the listing first went
off the market (when it reflected only the recent sale and active
listings nearby).
And that's just the now-classical inflation in real estate. My
grocery bills have moved by about five percent since the first week I
moved here, especially in meats, cheeses and paper products.

We have been looking at houses for the SIL to move closer to us. Houses around us are being listed for $100,000 over last years assessments and they are getting it. Nothing decent stays on the market for more than 2-3 days and often have multiple bidders. It's insanity and has to come crashing down at some point. Way too many $$$$$ chasing real goods and prices are skyrocketing.

Ah Jen, one used to be able to do that but since the great supply chain debacle, sizes are no longer next to each other, these giant rolls of paper towels and toilet paper are all double, triple rolls and quality since the shortages is totally different. Even a math whiz wouldhave trouble figuring this out withouot spending considerable time walking up and down the aisle. This is the purpose. You just grab what;s on sale with the hope it is actually a deal.
I do everything possible to mitigate having to decide at the store. I shop with a list, do the online coupons and try to buy brands I actually use when they are on sale.

Heritage foundation is useless, they refuse to acknowledge that the economic downturn in 2008 was driven in part by the working poor paying higher fuel costs leading to them shrugging on their overleveraged mortgages.
Energy independence and the war on the middle and lower class' ability to navigate their economic life's energy needs is THE issue we can beat the mule on and speak to and not at minorities on.
That the right commentariat cannot do this or more aptly refuses to do this tells you all you need to know.

We're also seeing an unintended (I doubt that's actually true, but it is according to their propaganda materials) of the UBI scheme we've embraced. It has been mentioned here before, but not completely in my opinion.
Employers that are still hiring are having trouble filling job vacancies. It is too remunerative to remain on the dole, and with no risk that it will ever end there's no incentive to beat the post-UBI crush and get a job *now* (this is a hugely important factor - if you think it will end, then you're a fool to not take a small pay cut to get a job now while there is one vs. waiting to be one of a bazillion people hitting the market all at once).
This will bid up wages because it has to. Businesses are now competing with UBI and have to pay more to fill a position against what is in essence the market's biggest employer (the dole). This, too, will drive inflation and continue to do so cyclically until the brakes go on in the form of an industrial collapse or the ending of the UBI scheme.

Zillow said my home appreciated $20k in the last 3 weeks. Which is cool because it goes on the market next week.
Posted by: rickb223 at May 05, 2021 10:29 AM
Holy crap. I just looked at our place on zillow and they say we had a +$11,919 4.1% increase in the last 30 days. It shows the home value at almost $100,000 more than we paid for it 5 years ago. Insane.
Posted by: Mister Scott (formerly GWS) at May 05, 2021 10:36 AM (JUOKG)
FWIW, Zillow is WAY off from what realtor.com and my USAA home value monitoring figures are. Like $75k more.

re 198: when someone says that "inflation is caused by too many dollars chasing too few goods", try asking where the "too many dollars" came from. Even odds the reply, if any, will be "people are saving too much". You need to have majored in economics to understand that.

Depending on area, more than possible. In the Denver area, a single-family house in the 2,000 sq. ft. range in a decent part of town will *start* in the mid to high 400s and in good parts of town it's worse (unless it's a total dump). A buddy of mine is buying a house there and he's been stymied multiple times by cash offers at $20k+ over asking. Most places are selling within two days at $15+ over ask, many of them to cash buyers.
That's a lot of money for a cash buyer, and I doubt it's all rich people doing it. I suspect the private equity guys are fencing a lot of suburban property.

Zestimates are almost as insane as the "property tax valuation."
A real populist would pass a law that government that valuates your home has essentially made an offer and must hand you a check if you hand them the keys.

And I know lumber prices will be insane but at least I'm doing something small. I just hope gas prices can hold enough for me to get out of here. Looking like summer, maybe early fall, depending on how it goes this month.

You can't actually make a profit if you have to try and buy another overpriced house.
If you want to bag a profit, sell your house and buy a winnabego until things go back to normal. Worst case, you can run for the hills when burning times arrive.

That's our problem here. The guy who built our house is desperate to buy it back. His wife passed away and wants to move into town near his kids before he gets too much older. I told him the other day it wasn't going to happen because we literally could not find any other place to buy and we have been looking.
He wants the house badly because he custom built it at cost for his friend who died right before the house was done and he really overbuilt the place. Pretty sure he took a loss on it, but it was for his best buddy.

Any of the Bay Area/NorCal members of the horde expect your gas prices to go up even more. Got a notice from my union yesterday.
"This is a call to arms! There is a systematic attack in our backyards. Our oil refinery partners are being forced by environmentalists and politicians(which our union endorses and donates to) to implement reduction in particulate matter and emissions, to a level that would make the viability of their facilities UNSUSTAINABLE."
Glad that the United Association of Steamfitters/Welders endorsed Biden and promised in a UA Journal that Biden wasn't going to shutdown Keystone and go after the Petrochemical industry. Not all, but a large portion of our membership and leadership are f'ing idiots.

So we saw your assessment. Here is your tax bill. We
averaged it to a double digit increase based on how fast the market is
rising.

They already did that, I got the inflated estimate on Monday. The way houses are selling near me, I doubt I will win a protest this time.

Regarding construction materials...
We had planned on a major home renovation last year. Had a budget, everything done but sign the contract. We got skittish with all the COVID shit going on, then the election farce. Had enough. We've been more or less cooped up in this place for over a year, looking at the same outdated and torn up shit that we're renovating as planned. For an additional $5K over the budget originally quoted.

It is really pretty simple. The people at the top are sitting there with a whole lot of money. They are the In Crowd. The Trump movement was about rerouting more resources to the people and less to the In Crowd. Ergo, they all hate Trump no matter which "side" of the In Crowd they align with. The real battle is three way: the In Crowd vs the true collectivist believers vs the true Americans. Cause the average person thinks it is a two way battle like sportsball, it gets confusing.

My brother gets at least one offer from a flipper to buy the house and rebuild it to sell a month.
The problem is that most of these come in the form of a crappy looking postcard in the mail, which does not scream of professionalism. Plus, they'll buy as low as they possibly can, which doesn't leave enough to get a new place.

Not sure about lingerie specifically, but I always buy clothes a size or two too small.
This has two benefits: She loves you for thinking that she's that size, and she can return it and get what she really wants.

Might want to take a look at her underwear drawer and as long as she doesn't cut the tags off you can get her the size she believes she is.
Now trying it on to compare the size, or having the store clerk do it is a pretty quick path to spending lots of cash on couples therapy or a good lawyer.

Do it, DB. I spent eight years living in a 1965 Airstream. They are very comfortable. It's hard on the floor and you have to be careful about condensation.
The law of inflation is to buy things today, as they will be more expensive tomorrow. Buy tools. If you don't have a garden, get plastic laundry baskets, put in a trash bag and fill with potting soil. Grow some greens or lettuce and learn how to grow things. Buy a few extra items at the store, for long term storage. If you can't move from where you currently are, think about getting a small piece of land somewhere and a trailer that you could camp out in. It would get you out of the city if things turn ugly.

Houseboats are not good. You have to have a place to moor it and you can't count on being able to stay in the current location (much like a mobile in a trailer park). Out here, the state DNR likes to get rid of marinas and put in restrictions about where you can have a house boat. It's one of the reasons my husband got in the legal battle with DNR.

Joe, that is incorrect. There is a $250,000 exclusion, $500,000 for a couple, but I think you can only use it once. I also lost part of that because my husband was deceased. I know people who have gotten divorced and had to sell get screwed in this process. Not an accountant so don;t take my word for it but I know that being a primary residence does not necessarily eliminate capiral gains taxes.

359 Houseboats are not good. You have to have a place to moor it and you can't count on being able to stay in the current location (much like a mobile in a trailer park). Out here, the state DNR likes to get rid of marinas and put in restrictions about where you can have a house boat. It's one of the reasons my husband got in the legal battle with DNR.

May I ask, not being specific of course, where is this the case? We are seriously considering living on the water. Where we are now, we have a large boat that is somewhat too small to live on, but there does not seem to be any hassles for the people we know who live on their boats.

And for the record, I am selling the river place to one of those "we buy property places". not much money but I'd planned to let the county foreclose on it. They figure it will take two years for the legal battles to clear out the squatters and clean the place up. Which is why I don't want to deal with it. I will get something out of it, which is nice.

The stupid and indefensible, damaging policies you cite, Buck - the federal land leases ending, Keystone, Paris - and others, will all be contributing to needless oil inflation .... but not yet.
Of course the Heritage stuff is silly. Unless the effects of the refining pinch are still echoing in the system.
But it seems far too early for the idiotic destructive policies Americans voted for in record numbers to have a price effect.

"You can use it as many times as you want, but not more than once every two years."
that is what I had heard long ago. Some had the idea of buying a property, fix and flip it, repeat every two years (live in it while fixing is not great, but doable).
(But I also heard that the capital gains avoidance was a one time thing ... hard to find dependable sources since there are so many instant internet experts.)

No, because the state will come after you. I've had lots of folks suggesting ways to run them off. it's like dealing with code enforcement. They called me, when they thought I had caretakers down there. Once they found out it was squatters, they gave them a warning to leave and wont' return my phone calls. In this county, they will provide free legal support to "tennants" facing eviction. I haven't been able to find a lawyer interested in dealing with it. And if I did get them off, I'd get to pay for clean up.

After Twitter's 24% stock value loss ..
Twitter's days as a completely free platform could be ending.
According to comments made by CEO Jack Dorsey at the virtual Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference on Feb. 10, 2021, subscriptions and other forms of payments could be coming to Twitter. "The first thing we want to focus on is that economic incentive to people who are contributing to Twitter," Dorsey, who is also the CEO of the digital payments company Square SQ, (SQ) said at the conference. "That can come through a regular subscription, that can come through content unlock, that can come through tipping. There is a host of things and right now we are just studying and prioritizing what those things look like."
Seems like Jack Dorsey has the business model backwards or he is an absolute genius. I'll go with the first one.
Twitter and Facebook have the actual users as the product. If you can get the product to self finance then you have stumbled onto one of the greatest money making schemes since Ponzi.

We had squatters on property adjacent to our undisclosed location in West Virginia. This was several years ago. They had some sort of plywood shack, a couple tents, etc. They'd come over to our place to steal water for cooking or whatever.
At that time we weren't living there, but my sister in law takes care of the place. The county was no fucking help whatsoever.

I couldn't find a torrent of Land of the Pharaohs, but I did finally find it on Dailymotion. The picture quality wasn't great, unfortunately. Joan still looked pretty good, though. It looked like they spent a lot of money on the film.

Joan Collins was in an episode of Star Trek TOS: City on the Edge of Forever. Quite charming in that one.

They will do it. Hell, they nearly do it now. Never mind that it has never once worked in human history. Nevertheless, they persist.

Puddinhead O'Biden and the rest of his progressive clowncar of an illegitimate junta are fully focused on making us Normal's lives a living hell. Drastically reducing everyone's standard of living is just the beginning. Their standard of living will naturally increase as planned.

Honestly the only way to deal with a situation that far gone is to hire MS-13 to go in there a whoopin' and a hollerin' and beat everything there within an inch of its life. And set everything on fire. But I doubt you have the contacts to do that.

BREAKING NEWS: In a daring raid, a van filled with geriatric men and women, some wearing monkey masks, and armed with walkers, chased a group of squatters off a local property. The van was reported to have a large Ace of Spades drawn on the sides.

My uncle wasn't a slum lord in the 70's, but he was a rental property owner in the Deep South. Eviction day was him, his 3 sons, 4 baseball bats, and a truck bed full of cheap, easy to kick in front doors to install after the eviction was done. He didn't have any squatting issues in the pre cell phone era.

This is more dangerous than the damned bread maker.
Too big..."What do you think I am??? Fat???" Too small: "Who the hell have you been seeing???"
Sneak into the closet and check her size
Or you could do the safe thing: let her know what you think she'd look good in then give her a Vicky's Secret gift card.

The decline of Heritage can be traced to Jim DeMint. They got rid of him but the rot was too deep.
