In some US states they cover road costs off by gas tax. Need an additional 5 billion in anew road cost, add that proposal during the next vote and list the cost of it as a new 3 cents a gallon tax for 5yrs to pay for it. Afterwards the 3 cent tax is removed. Similar to a user tax like a road toll.

If their media is reporting it, then it’s difficult for them to be aware of it.

Very good point - thanks for bringing it up.

Bad - plain and simple. Worse comes next. Even IF the Gulf opens tomorrow and ships start sailing, worse is more than likely to occur

Have you not been reading any news outside of Canada/US? A fair number of countries around the world are already negatively affected economically by this - https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-energy-crisis-reaches-cairo-as-egyptians-ration-power-and-brace-for-a/...

How about this scenario. The US walks away now. Ends the bombing of all Iranian sites. Iran then in turn opens up the strait. Who gains from that? The US or the Iranians. I would argue that the Iranians come out looking like the winners.

Regardless, points 1-3 are given. Point 4 is up for discussion and its an unknown. Points 5 & 6 as well. I'd argued that Point 7 will occur, what is unknown at this time is will it be a steep, quick drop off (from 40% of world trade now to 30% by the end of this year or next) or will the...

Can there be any parallels drawn between this war that the US and Israel started with Iran and the 1956 Suez Canal Crisis? War with Egypt - 1956 1) The UK/France/Israel went into Egypt to 'secure' the Suez Canal without informing the US (or NATO) beforehand 2) Resulted in Egypt closing the...

That's that not completely accurate - to paraphrase him - 'more 4th generation jets that have been modernized' - and then he gave the example of the F-15EX. He did not say that only F-15EX's were needed.

I 100% agree that there was planning. But I think that we all (well, maybe most?) agree that the 'worst case scenarios' may not have been looked at robustly enough or if they were, taken into account enough with proper contingencies put in place.

The moment that Poland did that, Russia would be taking advantage of it - 100%. Those that were saying before that the US had planned this operation out and that all was well are pretty quiet right now.

And their PM is supposed to be quite tight with The Donald. Its a little late for the Ides of March, but there seems to be a bit of circling around The Donald at the moment.....

Onto an island? From quickly looking at a Google map of Kharg Island, from my civilian eye the potential drop zone looks to be more more than 1-1,200 meters wide and maybe 2,000 meters long at best. Would someone really drop 3-500+ troops and into an area that small on an island in a hostile...

I thought that you might find this interesting. Not saying that I buy into it but the studying is interesting and warrants more study and understanding. https://www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-environment/article/scientists-have-found-an-alarming-environmental-impact-of-vast-data-centres/...

Someone should send him the letter from the Ukrainian CEO to the Rheinmettal CEO and say, this is what would have happen to our troops if they had landed.

Very happy to hear! Hope you handed their asses to them in a few of the games and were able to enjoy a few pints of the black as well.

I’m saying it will happen after close of business tomorrow. Lastly of day of 1st quarter tomorrow, Q2 starts Wednesday, he’ll want Q2 to start off green.

I find it very ironic that both Slovakia and Hungary were two of the country that invaded the Soviet Union on day 1 with the Germans back in ‘41 and now they are hand in glove with the Russians.
