rowdyraven112 said:It’s pricier because those damn taxes kicked back in everywhere. Nobody's going to tell you that, though. Oil is sitting at $85. Maybe less. Gas prices are dropping while diesel climbs. How do you explain that gap when, historically, prices ALWAYS follow what the barrel is doing? ☕
Save that bedtime story for the kids.
You’ve already started fifty different threads about why diesel is pricier. The tax used to be $1.00 and now it’s $0.83. Even if they bumped it back to $1.00, we're talking about a difference of maybe five cents. So, did they hike the gas tax too, or was that scrapped entirely? This is nonsense. Do a little homework on oil, fuel markets, supply, and demand—stop posting junk.
Right now, diesel is more expensive than gas everywhere you look.
So, we're just supposed to assume gas pipelines running through Ukraine and Greece don't need any maintenance? Who’s actually out there servicing them—and when? It's funny how "transparent" the Russians claim to be. You can see right through them...
Daflon actually works pretty well—once you get through those initial massive doses, you can just take one or two a day as a preventative measure. It’s not really an hemorrhoid treatment per se, but more about dissolving blood clots and helping out with veins in general..
William Anderson5 said:The gas shutoff comes as no surprise at all. Even without the sanctions on Russia, they would have found some excuse—like a sudden turbine "malfunction"—to pull this move. It’s just another tool in their arsenal, one they were always going to swing regardless of whether we hit them with sanctions or not. It's a strategic advantage they'll exploit every single time...
Putin isn't losing sleep over Gazprom, Rosneft, or some random billionaire oligarch. He doesn't give a damn about Russia or its economy, either. He is strictly focused on his own legacy—on how he’ll be remembered as a historical figure in the textbooks. And he'll get his way, obviously. The guy is going all the way. Pure madness. Just like Hitler.
Waste Management doesn't even have the infrastructure—let alone enough gas reserves—to supply all of Los Angeles County this winter. At this rate, I'm starting to wonder if there's even enough left for the city itself. I get it, it’s absolutely infuriating when someone just cuts your service because you refuse to pay five times the previous rate... totally reasonable, right? Once again, people living here are dealing with the highest cost of living, the steepest taxes, and the most ridiculous fees—we're basically at the top of the list for being squeezed dry. It’s unacceptable for long-term customers to be left out in the cold mid-winter just because some folks decided to jump ship to private providers instead of sticking with the local utility like they should have done from the start.

I’m currently on Daflon—actually, the first time I dealt with this was maybe two or three years ago, and after a few months of using some ointment, it was sorted. But a few weeks back, things decided to show up again... damn... uh... and one of them is actually pretty large. I've been using Daflon and Faktu cream for about 10 days now and it’s almost receded, but I’m going to stick to the full course. It’s a 6-week regimen, applying the cream twice a day. And honestly, the price of the 36-count bottle $35 at the pharmacy this morning totally caught me off guard!
I usually just grab the 60-count box; it costs $52..
wiredseal7 said:Maybe storage is filling up because industry isn't buying gas at these prices? The US government is paying insane amounts right now just to top off reserves—it’s all about "security," apparently.
I'm just guessing here—there's no other logic to this market mess. Someone is buying at these rates. If it isn't the seasonal rush of public tenders for state institutions (like our local school districts, for example), then who?
Half of our local industries that rely on gas could just pull the plug entirely if prices stay six times higher than they were last year. Nobody can afford that.
It would be like if gas prices at $4.00 suddenly jumped to $27 per gallon. No one would be driving, guaranteed...
Sure, we could go that route. But according to the instructions:
The standard daily dose for the first four days is 3 tablets twice a day (that’s 6 tablets total per day), then for the following three days, you drop down to 2 tablets twice a day (so, 4 tablets total daily).
After that, if you even need it, the maintenance dose is just 2 tablets a day.
For me, Daflon is always my go-to. A specialist prescribed it to me about 10 years ago—back when I actually listened to doctors. Now, once or twice a year when things flare up, I just grab a 60-count bottle, knock them back, and everything settles down. Though, honestly, you should probably see a doctor first. It’s not like Daflon is going to hurt you, but still. The routine is usually three times a day (two pills each time) for the first five days, then it drops to twice a day (two pills each time). One 60-count bottle covers one full round.
The real issue is that no matter how much Russia cuts back on energy supplies and everything else, prices stay absolutely insane—they still make just as much money off them. How on earth did nobody in the West see this coming?
