In my lifetime since the clinton years, the cheapest I’ve seen gas prices was:

1) the months in 2008 following the beginning of the great recession during the election.
2) COVID lockdown

so one situation is where many lost their jobs so demand went down. And one situation where everyone stayed home so demand went down.

At this point there are no good answers aside from trying to get people to broker a peace deal.

What you could have done was not tried to continually pull the Ukraine into the EU/NATO.

We could do nothing. If you are looking for perfection that is the default setting.

I was laughing at the "they will tell you get rid of your car" point.

Which has hilariously come true

Maybe someone should ask her if the sanctions are causing too much suffering for ordinary Russians.

That's a great point I think it's time to nuke Russia.

Who says nuke Russia.

There are a lot of options between doing nothing and nuking Russia.

Not doing so is enabling this war to continue further

I can see how a pro-Putin person would like to say the only viable option is to nuke Russia.

Not that you are pro-Putin.

But a pro-Putin person might say something like that.

Anyone know the difference between a bio research and a bio weapons lab? How is the lab in Wuhan categorized?

Not wanting to nuke Russia is a pro Putin as it gets.

Why do you keep enabling him?
