    Are you not comprehending the aggregious fallacy you engaged in previously. An individual buying a car .. has ZERO bearing on Biden's Environmental Policy. Just because Warren Buffet or some rich dude spends tens of millions on the Environment and claims to care for the environment .. but drives to work instead of taking mass transit -- does not make Buffet not an environmentalist nor a hypocrite.

    Then you double down on this same fallacious monstrosity... What part of your individual choice has nothing to do with Biden's Policy .. do you not understand .. that it is NOT hypocritical to call out Biden's bad policy and drive a F150 ..

    Get it .. Got it .. Good .. 2cnd "Chastizing" .. don't make me do it a 3rd time por favor .. in danger of "denial of the Obvious" you will then be.

    I am not waiting for $10 either, but...

    Waiting in a line for an hour for 5.00-10.00 dollars is not any different than working an hour for that money. My time may be worth more, but not everyone's time is valued the same. To someone making $10 an hour an hour, that wait for "free" money is worth it.

    Spare me David Stoackman he was wrong back then and summarily fired for not supporting the policies which brought us out of the Carter/Nixon mess and has been trying to rehibilitate himself ever since. Reagan worked WITH Volker and ran flak for him to break the horrible inflation, where we seem headed now, supported business with his tax rate cuts to get them back to buying and producing again and hiring again.

    Which is what?
    Has he announced he is ending his fight in court to restrict oil and gas leases?
    Has he announced a moratorium on any new oil and gas regulations?
    Has he instructed the DoE to start fast tracking all new drilling permits?
    Has he announced his rescinding his pulling the Keystone XL project?
    Has he instructed his DoE to fast track the awaiting LNG terminal approvals?

    And I could go on and on.

    Most won't be saving anywhere near $10. It's more like 3 or 4. It's imbecilic to wait in those lines for almost everyone. And yet, just look. Bunch of gdamn morons, dumb as ****.

    Science is a set of falsifiable theories. IOW, science is a set of falsifiable models that predict nature.

    That's all science is. No more, no less.

    Now, put that into practical application. What is the method that these theories are tested? Who does them? What is the process? How are they recording their results and sharing them? How are these results verified? How are these results then shared with other scientists and the rest of the world?

    Remember back when gas price spikes in the 10-cent, 5% range were a catastrophe to screech about, and pin directly on the POTUS?

    3 whole entire bucks a gallon. The horror.

    Okay.

    Here is a very short and generalized description:

    1. Come up with a theory. Inspiration for that theory can come from anywhere. This theory must also be falsifiable against a null hypothesis. It must also pass internal consistency checks against logic.

    2. Test that theory against a null hypothesis for it. This can be referred to as an 'external consistency check'. Keep testing it against a null hypothesis again and again and again. So long as it continues to survive said testing, it remains a theory of science. At any point that it fails to survive such testing ("gets falsified"), it is then completely and utterly destroyed and is no longer a theory of science.

    Science consists of the theories that continue to survive null hypothesis tests against them to this day (such as the laws of thermodynamics, planck's law, stefan boltzmann law, etc...) --- IOW, science is a set of falsifiable theories (a set of falsifiable models that predict nature). It is those falsifiable theories themselves that are science, not any publication or journal or class or peer review or consensus or whatever else.

    Anyone can do what I described above.

    Described above.

    Using paper? Using a computer? It doesn't really matter, so long as the rules of logic and mathematics are adhered to.

    Described above. IOW, via logic and mathematics. Peer review is helpful here in case someone misses an issue that someone else catches.

    By sending letters, emails, phone calls?? There are multiple methods available to share information with one another.

    Now it's about $4.50/gal as a national average and not much of a peep besides "it's a price to pay to stand with Ukraine", as if the issue somehow didn't start immediately after Biden usurped power.

    Biden and the Democrats cruel tax on hard working Americans.

    Don’t pretend that high prices and American suffering are a ‘bug’ for the establishment — it’s a historic feature.

    “Yes, the record of those establishment hacks seems pretty bad. Of course, that assumes they want cheap gas, cheap food, energy independence and to promote America’s interests. There’s every reason to think the opposite: We’re not getting cheap gas, cheap food, energy independence, etc. because that’s not what the establishment wants. What we’re getting is what the establishment does want; if we don’t like it, tough. Don’t take my word for it, ask the establishment.”

    This Nov is a choice between these self-entitled illegitimate Left Wing Authoritarians that want to illegitimately boss you around and control your lives, or Freedom and Liberty.
