Godammit, she doesn’t exist for your pleasure. She exists to make Tucker Carlson MAD.

I hate this state so much sometimes.

Do you live in Texas? Because I feel the same way today.

It is challenging and frightening to be a school teacher during these tragic times. I always keep my classroom doors shut and locked which is essentially a partial lockdown. It's sometimes annoying to have to get up and answer the doors each time a student returns from the restroom or if a staff member stops by, but it makes it a little more safe for my students and myself.

Big hugs to you, man. Breaks my heart that you have to do that kind of thing.

Thanks…I try to be brave and not live in a state of fear because fuck that but it's not easy. Some days it does not even cross my mind while others (like today) I'm a a bit uneasy.

Teachers, nurses, I'm looking at you too @Anesthetist ! Every fucking day.

I do realize the status quo is perhaps a little ridiculous as it pertains to the price of petrol in the States but fuck you, Putin!

I have a mate that works at an ESSO refinery here in Essex, UK. They closed a number of refineries at the start of 2020, even before covid lock downs. Production capacity dropped, but demand didn't.
OPEC+ have agreed to almost double crude oil output for June and July, but that only helps reduce cost if crude csn be refined into diesel and petrol.
There are so many consequences to this issue. Tech industries that depend on online purchases and deliveries have lost share values, delivery drivers are quiting en masse as most are self employed and fuel costs aren't being subsidised, even driving instructors are stopping their work as the cost of driving lessons are untenable for most young people, who form the majority of their customer base.
I fear that this is end of empire economics. Russia and Saudi are no longer looking west, they see their future in the east with China and India.
Biden and Johnson both tried to do deals with Saudi this year, they got a swift kick goodbye, and China got exclusive Saudi oil deals.
Roman, Greek, British, Dutch, French, and now US... All empires come to an end at some time. We are living through an end of Empire.

Until we start figuring out better ways to produce electricity with things other than fossil fuels, though, that electro-Stang is going to run into a similar issue.

I mean, I would definitely like a Mustang.
