ot - gas price

[greg zegan]

 On top of that in case you haven't noticed the homeless population has exploded in the Phoenix area.Try ridding the bus-public transportation, with these people who sadly in some cases haven't had a bath or shower in some time.
Its really sad that the American culture has been broken so badly that one has to help others see what is in plain sight.  We live adjacent to a state with arguably the worst homeless population in the country.
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself or others what is the cause of all this???????
High gas prices.unaffordable housing.many households living paycheck to paycheck.explosion in crime.explosion in homelessness.recreational drug use on the rise for a civilization like ours and you think this is normal?
$14 Billion in aid to Ukraine while all this is happening?Where is that money going?How about a hired mercenary army to fight Russia per the refuges from the Middle East.  Why do you think they pushed for EU to take in refuges from the middle East?By the way, EU doesn't have children like the previous generations did and thee now know it takes at least 2.0 children per couple to keep an empire alive so these peoplefrom Africa and others are nothing but blood and treasure to these neo-cons.
Tech people are usually some of the smartest in a civilization historically speaking.As per Thucydides the country that rules in technology rules the world. 
Surely the breadth  and width of your understanding goes further than these few talking points.
How about this.There is a real effort to turn us all in the West into a Socialistic civilization based on Plato's Republic.Democracy?Try a empire ruled by a Philosopher king as he stated in his book.  The problem is there is no person on this earth that is perfect and never will be.  We have a Republic, not a Democracy in the USA.
Dig a little deeper and try a little harder to understand your world.  If you don't find the truth there aremany out there looking for the naïve to take advantage of.
Plato's Republic.Plato's Meno.Plato's Timaeus.Plato's Protagoras.St. Augustine's City of God.Aristotle's Ethics.Jean-Jacques Rousseau - The Social Contract.Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Discourse on Inequality.

 I just paid $4.49 at Costco which was only .07/gallon less than surrounding gas stations :(I can only hope our national politicians pull their heads from their rectum and open domestic oil production again soon. They're blaming Ukraine, but it was already approaching $4 before Russian invaded. If anyone had doubts that overreliance on foreign supply chains could be problematic, the last several years should have made it clear. I feel really sorry for poor people... how are they coping with these price increases everywhere?
