I\u2019m gonna call him \u201cBobblehead\u201d Amos Hochstein.<\/p>\n
This person actually said publicly, “one reason why oil prices have surged and gas prices is that Bidenomics works.\u201d Then started blaming OPEC for decreasing supply.<\/p>\n
WHAT?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n OPEC wouldn\u2019t have the ability to fuck with global oil prices if Biden hadn\u2019t within days of his inauguration screwed domestic oil production and caused oil prices to jump, not due to constraint\u2026 but due to Biden\u2019s actions destabilizing oil futures.<\/p>\n As I theorized before, Bidenomics may indeed be working exactly as designed. Bidenomics isn\u2019t to help the country, it\u2019s to help the filthy rich and punish any and all Americans who might not be marching in communist lockstep with the Democrat party. A.K.A. all those who disagree with the direction the country is moving in, and are therefore domestic terrorists.<\/p>\n I\u2019m predicting it here and now. It is going to be a very cold expensive winter for the average American Family. Because Biden\u2019s energy policies will continue to drive up fuel prices. Don\u2019t forget it\u2019s not just gasoline.<\/p>\n Diesel fuel is what runs the container ships, the 18 wheel trucks, the farm equipment, the construction equipment, and petroleum byproducts go into almost everything else throughout our product and supply chain. So when fuel gets or remains expensive\u2026 the average American Family takes it in the ass.<\/p>\n An Interesting side note, Biden and his bobblehead staff all say repeatedly that The President is very concerned that the American Family doesn\u2019t have undue hardship.<\/p>\n When you run that statement through the Democrat\/Biden translation matrix\u2026 You get \u201cThe President want to make sure the American Family is hungry and cold.”<\/p>\n After all if you keep people cold enough, hungry enough, poor, and hopeless, long enough, then offer them free shit and relief if they vote for you, or if they’re asked to offer up their first born to be slaves, most of \u2018em will say \u201cyes\u201d.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a story about Vlad \u021aepe\u0219 of Romania inviting the poor, homeless, and destitute, of the town to his castle for dinner. He asked them what they wanted of him, they replied, \u201cgive us money, give us food, end our suffering.\u201d At which point he ordered the palace guard to slaughter everyone in the dining hall.<\/p>\n He ended their suffering right then and there.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know if that is a story that actually happened or if it was a teaching tale.<\/p>\n I do know, that every time I see people with their hands out to receive \u201cFree\u201d stuff. I always think of Vlad \u021aepe\u0219 and his \u201cSolution\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cFree\u201d in politics is just a word that obfuscates the actual price. If more people knew that, politicians would have a lot less power.<\/p>\n Vlad \u021aepe\u0219 actually Vlad III, \u00a0had quite a life. Wars, imprisonment, loss of a throne and regaining it.<\/p>\n Stories about his \u201cUnheard of cruelty\u201d were circulating in his lifetime. Note we\u2019re talking in the fourteen hundreds. By todays standards just living in that time would have been considered cruel and unusual punishment. This guy was considered unusually cruel then.<\/p>\n … Turkish messengers came to [Vlad] to pay respects, but refused to take off their turbans, according to their ancient custom, whereupon he strengthened their custom by nailing their turbans to their heads with three spikes, so that they could not take them off.<\/p>\n \u2014\u200aAntonio Bonfini: Historia Pannonica<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The pope was informed of Vlad\u2019s methods. A Poem about him was performed at the court of Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor during the winter of 1463.<\/p>\n While the story of him slaughtering all the poor from the town near his castle might be apocryphal, given the other stories about Vlad III I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he actually did it.<\/p>\n Interestingly, stories about Vlad III were some of the first best sellers to be printed with moveable type.<\/p>\n Bram Stoker did a great job of romanticizing Vlad III. As the source of all the vampire myths, in my Goth phase I was curious about Vlad III so I found out a about the real person.<\/p>\n I think he was an Arch Villain. This is certainly true through the lens of todays standards. It\u2019s probably true through even the lens of the fourteen hundreds. But there was a lot of political intrigue and a lot more involved in keeping his kingdom together. Perhaps his cruelty was justified, perhaps not.<\/p>\n For some reason, Vlad III always pops into my mind whenever I hear Biden or his bobbleheads speaking. I think Biden and his administration are cruel and they call it \u201ckindness”. They call failure, \u201csuccess\u201d. They call crime and criminal behavior, \u201cRighteousness\u201d.<\/p>\n By the way\u2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n I did not preorder the new iPhone after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n Apple wouldn\u2019t allow me to preorder it and use their interest free financing without me declaring which cellphone carrier I was going to use. In other words they wanted me to buy a carrier locked phone and I won\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n They didn\u2019t make me declare my carrier when I purchased my iPad with cellular capability. Nor did they ask for me to declare a carrier when I purchased my Apple Watch. Yet I was allowed to put those items on their interest free financing.<\/p>\n For some reason, they wouldn\u2019t allow me to do the same with a new iPhone.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019d actually filled out the Pre Preorder forms that was supposed to make the preorder easy this morning. I stopped when I realized that for me to have the phone I\u2019d have to put it on my card at whatever the interest rate is. Since the Apple Card is among the highest interest rate cards I have, that was a big RED NO GO<\/span>!<\/p>\n Who am I kidding? All credit cards have nightmare interest rates these days!<\/p>\n The Apple Card is convenient, but it\u2019s not something you carry a balance on unless it\u2019s interest free. To be honest, I\u2019m questioning keeping the Apple Card moving into the future. I don\u2019t like the way they handle some things. The question is, does my dislike outweigh the convenience? It\u2019s about neck & neck right now.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll wait on the new iPhone. Maybe, I\u2019ll wait until the next iPhone, or the next\u2026 I can wait, the battery on my phone isn\u2019t that weak yet.<\/p>\n Sure there are things I\u2019d like<\/em> to have, but do I need<\/em> them?<\/p>\n Maybe not…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday while I was on hold with Apple, I was scanning news articles and one from Bloomberg caught my attention.
