What are you "reliable sources" and what nations is the Current Admin not allowing refined diesel to be shipped to? Thanks!

If you are that worried about someone breaking into your RV at night, that you would go to the extent of the L brackets and 2x4, perhaps boondocking is not for you.

I am not sure this would be considered double towing.

Yes, this. For years a friend who was a race car driver used one of these to tow his fifth-wheel race car trailer behind his bus.

Not a bad idea, just needs equipment designed for the job.

Does BP pay dividends? Looks like they are having a pretty good year. https://fortune.com/2022/08/02/bp-earnings-by-the-numbers-profit-dividend-payouts-share-buybacks-cost-of-living-crisis-backlash/

To me, any well-run business should set their retail price at a point that will maximize profits.

How does everyone believe that retail prices for gasoline and diesel fuel are calculated? Do you believe that retailers add up their cost, including taxes, and then add a flat rate or a percentage rate to those costs to come up with retail price, or do you believe that retailers set their prices as to maximize profits(what the market will bear), or do they use other methods to determine their retain price?

Yes, profit for companies is a good thing, so it is the best economic interest of the oil companies to maintain a shortage as long as profits remain at an all-time high. I personally dont like the words "price gouging." What is called "price gouging" is just capitalism at its best or worst, depending on whether you are buying or selling.

Or something that would reduce your profits?

Yes, somehow, truth, facts and reality no longer matter to a growing number of people.

I agree, and the government should prohibit sales of crude or oil its' derivatives until prices reach a predetermined level.

My understanding is that the difference between what a provider charges and what the provider has agreed to accept from Medicare is considered a loss by the provider, and can be deducted from income by the provider.

Five refineries were shutdown in the USA in 2020, and in 2017 one of the largest in the Houston area was sold to Saudi Arabia.

One of the things I have read is that you do not need a lawyer to file a claim, despite the fact that there are lots of law firms advertising their services to file a claim on your behalf.

What comforts do you want that you dont have dry camping?

Here is a good video on selecting the best oil for an Onan generator.

Even if you build your own batteries, the cells come from China.

I believe the cells themselves are made in China, but the batteries are assembled in the USA.

I have a 300 amp hour Zooms, and we will see how it performs for a third of the cost of three 100 amp hour Battle Borns.

Are you saying that the Ampere Time batteries are a knock off, or did I misunderstand?

LOL

Just curious, what do you believe our government has done to ruin social security?

Raising the price of anything in a waste of time unless there are people willing to pay the higher price, so in the end they raised the price because they knew people would pay the higher price and not just because their cost went up.
