[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8884494, member: 683408"] What? I'm talking about Trudeau's reaction to Trump's tariff "bluff". Trudeau called his "bluff" the last time around, and essentialy "won" when Trump agreed to drop the tariffs. I asked you honestly what made you believe Trudeau would buckle under THIS TIME to the exact same "bluff". Can you answer that question? OK, but "half this country" isn't making decisions on behalf of Trudeau, who is facing the same threats as he did in 2018. The question above is even more relevant here. OK. You said "depending on area". If you are betting on Falmouth specifically, then say so. BTW - Nice job of picking Falmouth, since it seems to be very remote, and you likely got prices from highway gas stations. A nickel bet that when you praise Trump for gas prices, you picked the CHEAPEST station you could find. Like a gambler who will speak for years about their $10,000 win, but never once mention it cost them $75,000 to hit the $10K biggie. Yes. OUR drug problem. Demand creates supply. If demand drugs, someone is going to fill that demand in some way, shape, or form. If they are stopped, then someone else steps in. We demand cheap goods, someone is going to fill that demand. If they are stopped, someone else steps in. It's how commerce works, whether the supplier is local, or international. Remember prohibition from your history books? OK. So you don't want to commit to anything, but want to bet on it it? You offered the claim as a condition of a bet but won't even specify terms? So much for confidence in the claim. "Might as well say "I bet someone will win the Superbowl by having more points at the end of the game". Why answer if you are simply offering a non-answer? That's very non-conversational for someone who is always complaining that there isn't "conversation" here. So you're betting it will hit 700+ million barrels under Trump, and he'll do it in 4 years? Let's make it 2 years as a "rebound" and you've got a bet. An inventory "rebound" is usually considered a few weeks or months, so a rebound of the SPR should take no longer than half of his time in office. Interesting, since you chose your "payment" as something that you can lie about paying, but mine is instantly verifiable. Equally interesting since one of my two previous bets offered money in equity to an attorney YOU would choose. Read the whole post. I acknowledged that the green line you drew was a sort-of attempt to hit the averages. Despite that, it showed a departure from the trendline starting in 2019. So you can't claim monkey business on my part, create three lines: One through the [U]true[/U] average of the years, one across the peaks, one across the troughs, and share a screen snip here.
