The rich make profits of bad news. The house caught fire - higher prices on eggs. There was a tornado in Ireland - higher prices for toilet paper. There’s a volcano erupting in Hawaii- higher chicken wing prices.

um....weren't we pretty much energy independent under President Trump? (no matter what you thought of him).

I cannot believe we are in this predicament. Un*******believable.

Takaei’s comment has has nothing to do with any of those things.
He’s an uber wealthy elitist crapping on his fellow citizens.

It’s easy for people who are wealthy to say that we can endure higher costs for food and fuel to support Ukraine when it’s actually not easy for many. I’m not interested in millionaires telling me what I can

afford.



I'm tired of the elites telling me what I may and may not do - period!

Exactly. But I’m guessing Takei would be against that plan. He gives off tree hugger vibes.

Wheat shot up 40% last week. Fertilzier hoarding is beginning. Price is skyrocketing, and gas is up .40 in one week....


This will have a HUGE impact on food prices world wide. I dont think people understand how high the cost of food will be in the next coming weeks to months....

He used to be funny, but he went crazy after Trump was elected. If you want hours of entertaining reading go check out his FB page, wow...talk about an echo chamber of hate and division.

As if that's going to solve anything

We need to get back to energy independence.

Honestly, you have to be pretty stupid to listen to rich elitist from Hollywood… Past or present, who are telling us that WE need to suffer, while they’re not making any real sacrifices on their end.

If Trump was still President this wouldn’t be happening… Talking about a presidents, where is Brandon? I bet he’s pizzed since neither the Ukrainians or the Russians are stupid enough to keep making payments his crackhead son, which means no cut for the big guy.

I bet that China also cut the Biden’s out of anymore of those special “under the table” payments too.

So, I guess Hunter will sell some more of his “finger” painting again!! Hunter needs pocket money to buy his meth, crack, strippers, hookers a new laptop computer and a video camera.
