What's it at now?

I appreciate you pinpointing one and it actually reinforced another reason I voted for Biden as Warren and Sanders would've banned all fracking which would have obviously driven up gas prices. I'm for the policy of not giving contracts to companies to drill on public land (although he technically stopped all "new" permits in his executive order). Conservation of some land in this country is important and public drilling accounted for about 5% of the crude oil extracted and 11% of the natural gas. The rise in crude oil is because producers decreased their production levels (both domestically and globally) last year because demand was low for the pandemic without as many cars on the road or planes in the air. Now you have so much demand that the supply can't keep up as these companies were surprised like the rest of us in how quickly the vaccines were developed and distributed. It's going to take a little bit for these companies to drive up production. The ransomware attack on the Colonel Pipeline didn't help things. Also, around $3.00 a gallon isn't bad for the summer months historically when you factor in inflation. Ironically, the rise in gas prices might stop some of Biden's more ambitious fossil fuel production goals to combat climate change.

Which specific policy?

I wouldn't change it because he was pry the only candidate in the field that could've beaten both Sanders (a socialist) and Trump (a narcissist). No other candidate had the name recognition or any semblance of blue collar appeal. Since he took office it's been mostly positive.... The stimulus package passed by Dems in March kept the economy afloat and the stock market up near all time highs. Over seventy percent of adults are vaccinated preventing lockdowns you're seeing in other countries because of the Delta variant. I never thought this country would get to that 70% adult threshold. He's largely ignored the progressive agenda (raising minimum wage to $15, forgiving student debt, "reforming" the police - whatever that means, eliminating the filibuster, etc.). He actually was able to get a bipartisan Senate infrastructure bill through to the House. Inflation was always going to be a problem with the reopening process no matter who was in office. The biggest negative was obviously not only following through with Trump's deal with the Taliban to leave Afghanistan but the disastrous way in which we he implemented it. Extending the eviction moratorium also ticked me off as landlords continue to struggle. The thought of an alternative administration (whether it's Trump or Bernie) makes it easy to forgive.

I'm not sure which concerts your referring too but the Billy Joel concert felt like a pre pandemic concert event. Even in the "indoor" areas hardly anybody wore masks and enforcement was non existent.

Yeah. I'm not saying I agree with the decision. I just thought I might have some insight into what he was thinking being a similar self absorbed egomaniac.

Props to the reporter. Don't know if he can still cover the team but that was funny.

My guess is to shift a lot of the media focus away from Lawrence, bring in a positive locker room presence as few know Tebow better than Meyer, and maybe he would defy the odds as their TE room is pry the thinnest in the league. It didn't work out and it hopefully backfires on him as we've seen countless highly successful college coaches fail in the NFL spectacularly before.

Hell, if salary didn't matter give me Hopkins or Adams. LOL.

Another Trojan Horse Zach Ertz trade thread. Well played.

Really? You don't?

Not really. Knowing how self absorbed I was in my 20's I pry would've waited a month or two also.

2018 Ravens

Do you believe every anonymous twitter account? About 75% of NYS hospital workers are fully vaccinated as of yesterday. About 60% of NYC hospital workers were fully vaccinated in NYC on July 21st and it's pry gone up since then.

Seems a little over the top.....

You got that from that? Talk about putting words in someone's mouth.

How'd Allen do against that secondary?

Their plan for his rookie year was horrible. Superb after that.

Fear of Covid.

Cardinals smartly got what they could for Rosen and moved on. The Jets meanwhile......

Allen was thrown into a worse situation than Rosen and Darnold his rookie year. Neither get sympathy from me.

Wouldn't that be a great selling point for the vaccine though? The vaccine cut deaths at least in half and nearly all the deaths are among the unvaccinated.

I don't care about the case rate. Give me the death rate.

Pry the worst answer so far given we have Poyer and Hyde locked up. The Jets best move in the last decade was trading him for two 1sts after today's contract. He's horrible in coverage but can rush the passer. Good for him. Too expensive. If you went with a WR I'd go with Justin Jefferson.
