I honestly believe that Wa state is screwing their citizens big time.

You are honestly not looking at facts.  Sound more like a political agenda vs factual argument, you fit right in with Stan. He ignores facts, science and math.  Alot like the PEDOPHILE supporting orange old man.

I’m starting to get bored with the negativity. I live in the most prosperous county in the best state with conservative values. It happens with every conservative administration after a failed liberal administration. The turn around usually takes 12-14 months. As usual the Debbie Downers hop on the negative bandwagon while the new policy is turning the economy around. It always happens. It’s nothing new. I lived through several. Some people learn others repeat the same mistakes. We call them liberals. 

 

Those things didn't make you rich in the past, so you really expect it will come through this time?

We are at a four year low as a National average and that is a good sign for the price of goods overall.

Really??????  Did you see the post I made that showed inflation of things we buy increasing, why most thinking humans are upset right now? Majority of polled voters. 

 

Since few read a whole thread or watch anything posted more than 30 seconds ago here's a reminder: 

 

RESULT lower gasoline isn't dragging down any costs except gasoline in select areas.  Hmmm wonder why?

How is the state screwing people when the taxes are a known entity, and gas price is what it is? Where's the money going?

 

BTW, some of us also own EV's and they're dirt cheap to operate.

 

 

Blameless and pure, are we?

So, no addressing the facts that I presented only another off the wall response.

Isn't that the state being sued for voter registration right now?

How can you believe their own audit as being accurate?

So, you don't think that fuel costs affect the cost of shipping and freight? 

You are kidding us aren't you my little "Country Bumpkin"?

Actually, the cap and trade program has been audited (by an independent agency) and the results were publicly released. Your assertion that most of the money is going to administrative expense is verifiably FALSE.

 

Washington state has 3.4% of the nation's oil refining capacity, or 5th largest, and ~90% of the gasoline from oil refined in WA locations ends up in state and regional retail fuel stations. That is correct.

 

One detail you may have overlooked is the oil does not come from Washington. Although we have local pipelines, much of the oil we refine comes from Alaska and Canada. There is extra expense in distribution before the refinery, and any local area not served by the Olympic pipeline must also truck the refined fuel in. So, yes, that does explain some of the cost.

 

I've presented to you the breakdown of a price per gallon in washington state: Local, federal, and cap and trade expenses added to the cost of a gallon. And yet the price is still higher than many areas of the country.

 

Explain that, please. With facts.

Sure it does but it didn't have any affect based on the CNBC data I posted above. 

I am a Country Bumpkin. Proudly and you if you keep posting that way are verifiable Rube.

Translation:  I can't support my venal insular belief with any verifiable fact so I pout.  Please promise to stop posting, especially where you drop into threads and tell us about how your family and you are self made. Or how you couldn't join military, I've heard that ****** from so many other cowards its laughable. You do or or you don't, or you make it up.

Kinda pitiful. I feel sorry for their lilly white lack of humility and ignorance.

So we are stating the same thing now, yet earlier you were stating that we had limited refining and distribution issues.........

I never said that the oil was drilled here, where did you come up with that?

I agree that the price is higher than anywhere else and that was my original point, are you following the thread at all? 

Have you been drinking or smoking this morning, or are you always a little bit confused?

I never saw the expense per gallon that you claimed to present? 

 

For some reason you and the guy that thinks an AMC is a race car are presuming that this thread is about inflation and political agendas LMAO.

 And in the future please address me as Rubemeister.

Sadly yes. Like many here.   Could operate heavy equipment in a business his Daddy built and gifted him but lost hearing and couldn't join up. I was forced in USN by a judge or go to Indiana State Boys School and I had some physical issues that the USN didn't seem to mind. Where there is a will there is a way to serve.  We need mandatory community, state, federal service in this USA and not just military. It would really level playing field and INFORM people like Stan who has watched from the proverbial bleachers while his father in law and I saw combat.
