CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 8, 2022
THE STOCK MARKET IS TANKING AND THE COST TO FILL YOUR TANK WITH GASOLINE IS RISING. $130 A BARREL OIL MEANS IN SOME STATES, DEPENDING ON YOUR VEHICLE, YOU ARE PAYING $100 TO FILLUP YOUR CAR — MORE IF YOU DRIVE A TRUCK FOR A LIVING.
THE STOCK MARKET DECLINE IS HURTING RETIRED PEOPLE WHO RELY ON THEIR IRA AND 401K INVESTMENTS. WHAT IS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DOING? ONLY SYMBOLIC GESTURES.
THE SOLUTIONS ARE THERE, BUT THE ADMINISTRATION IS A PRISONER OF THE FAR LEFT WHOSE GOD IS THE ENVIRONMENT. IT IS NO SECRET THEY WANT TO END RELIANCE ON FOSSIL FUELS, THOUGH THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE GIVEN THE MANY THINGS BEYOND GASOLINE THAT ARE MADE BY FOSSIL FUEL. THESE INCLUDE INK, UPHOLSTERY, BICYCLE TIRES, DISHWASHER PARTS, FOOD PRESERVATIVES, PETROLEUM JELLY, ANTISEPTICS, REFRIGERANT, SHOES, TRASH BAGS, FISHING HOOKS.
THERE ARE SCORES MORE. GOOGLE “PRODUCTS MADE FROM PETROLEUM.” WE WILL NEED FOSSIL FUELS FOR MANY YEARS TO COME AND THOSE TRYING TO CUT US OFF FROM IT WILL ALWAYS HAVE TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER CHOICES PAID FOR BY SOMEONE ELSE, OR THEY WILL BE RICH ENOUGH TO FILL THEIR GAS TANKS NO MATTER THE COST. I’M CAL THOMAS.
