hey you guys, so, my wealth advisor said “if you believe that the reason natural gas prices are going to be volatile this winter is “the weather” then i have fracking company in connecticut you should look at.”
do you think that might be a good investment?
because he was kind of laughing and honestly, he’s a pretty shifty guy…
I'm expecting it to be cold this winter. That's what my magic eight ball said. I verified that by licking my finger and putting it out the window. I want a Joe Biden cabinet position.
Interesting. Almost looks like he's got a bot crawling through the comments and when he sees a keyword such as the 2nd one in CaliforniaLost's comment above, he posts. In fact, I wonder if repeating the above mentioned 4-letter word three times manifests some kind of malevolent spirit----Lori Lightfoot, perhaps?
I have reported PaulaFox to Substack management. It is inevitable that spam will arrive. I just don't think I can make $100 hour without posing in the nude and then I would have to refund a lot of money.
The first three I saw were replies to me and looked like a honeypot more than trolling spam & my comments about the compressed link as a red flag saw it change to full URL with equally dubious characteristics but told me it's an individual not you basic PR spam bot.
We are a huge gas production state, but our state government taxes the snot out of its production and has no intention of cutting those taxes because it relies on revenue to fund its big ass budget. The same can be said for other states who provide energy. One thing that we have always had was cheap natural gas, but I’m sure Brandon will fix that.
The Climate Doomers ideology has baked in warmer temperatures automatically. They believe the world is melting uncontrollably. How can they tell from their Ivory Towers? The Goreacle predicted the end of Arctic Ice by 2010! No, 2020, he said! Oh, now it’s 2035!……
Because we knew what the weather was going to be every other year? Oh god these people. They would literally piss on your head and tell you it was raining.
High prices may not be your last worry. The grocery shelves are starting to run out of stocks in my (major) suburb. We may be in for a tough winter when shelves are empty.
Brandon is barely sentient & is exactly the useful idiot the elites/globalists need. He is just reading what they write for him and not even doing a good job of that at this point
If scientists are right, we have entered a colder period lasting until about 2050. The coldest will be around 2030. Search for the Grand Solar Minumum. If the scientists are right then the whole climate agenda falls away and it's all about something else. Search and find.
And people flocking to rural areas in the coldest parts of the country where food cannot be grown but a couple months out of the year to supposedly escape tyranny are in for a rude awakening. If you live somewhere where you can grow food most of the year, stand firm and fix your state! Say NO to tyranny and Karen.
Of course it's the weather. Same reason that Southwest cancelled all those flights even though the weather didn't affect Delta or American. Then, when Southwest eased its vaccine mandate on pilots, the weather began affecting Delta, which started to insist on similar mandates. When Delta backed off, the weather spread to American Airlines which, coincidentally, had just imposed similar vaccine mandates on pilots.
Not to mention the cognitive dissonance between this narrative that it might be particularly cold this winter and drive up heating costs, and the other narrative that the world is getting catastrophically warmer and we have to take massive action to slow it down a tiny bit. It's another test of just how stupid are we, will we go along with any narrative they decide to push?
George, personally, I blame the cooling temperatures on the sun moving farther away from us out of the fear that our *panic* over covid will spread across 93 million miles of mostly vacuum ... or maybe it's out of a fear of Biden's puppeteers.
"...according to the Energy Information Administration."
Translation: the government says it definitely most certainly has nothing to do with their policies. It's the weather!
Wait, didn't AOC tell us that volatile and extreme weather is the result of energy policy not addressing climate change? Didn't the Biden admin say that? Shut down pipelines because climate change but then blame the high gas prices on the volatile weather you're supposed to be mitigating by shutting down pipelines. Classic Brandon.
natural gas.... is the cleanest of the falsely accused fossil fuels. It is also the least safe and normally not stored on site of use, especially electric plants!!
here is what happens when weather gets really cold: the gas to electric plants is diverted to homes.... the electric plants sign on to reliable supply and keep an energy source that is storabe: usually stove oil.
So very cold in a region causes the price of gas to go up to meet increased burning, mostly n houses. The price ofoil skyrockets bc the generators start calling suppliers who are not as controlled as gas line sellers.
the issue with gas and oil is granholm is a greenie, they cut us crude production and opec+ being mercantilists just won't pump more at lower price.....
the only thing to do for the consumer is reinstate trump's policy of pumping up to world market......
politics in europe, a tiff between russia/belrus and the germanys/poles might shoot gas prices up as a tanker from houston can bring gas to hamburg as easily as new jersey....
in texas last year the gas fired electric plants were out of gas bc the electric pumps went down in the pipelines, bc wind is unreliable!
if a cold winter in usa north we will see huge jumps.
Yes. Hedging your bets. It's always the best way to go. If it's colder than they expect, they want to have the flexibility to charge more per unit of energy. And if it's warmer than they expect, they want to have the flexibility to charge even more per unit of energy. Of course, the reality is that they are going to charge whatever the fuck they want regardless of how the weather shakes out. Which begs the question, why do they play this stupid game?
Climate change i.e. just a morality ideology to shame people into using less. The real story is peak oil which (they) practically never discuss. Watch the film collapse (2009)
I'm expecting it to be cold this winter. That's what my magic eight ball said. I verified that by licking my finger and putting it out the window. I want a Joe Biden cabinet position.
We can get you a position in the cabinet. What date is most convenient for you to get a frontal lobotamy?
Those jobs have great perks, such as two months off in the first year.
Go away scammer

You're overqualified.
Just like "weather" was the reason the airlines cancelled flights last month

I have 14 cord of firewood put by. I feel like a genius, except now I have to guard it!
Indeed. You said it, and I hope you do that.
The left speaks "it takes a village" but they act "every man for himself"
The looting will continue too
Lol where do you live
I'm from the government - I can help.
Is this the first winter in history that we're not sure if it's going to be cold?
The Climate Doomers ideology has baked in warmer temperatures automatically. They believe the world is melting uncontrollably. How can they tell from their Ivory Towers? The Goreacle predicted the end of Arctic Ice by 2010! No, 2020, he said! Oh, now it’s 2035!……
Friggen Gore promised me beach front property by 2010. We're still 90 miles from the ocean.
I still have my "Save the Earth" yearbook from 7th grade, in 1989.
I'm pretty sure Earth Day was created by hippies who wanted another excuse to smoke pot.
Guessing you don't know many real life hippies. They've never needed excuses.
Well then I guess it isn't 100% terrible ;)
Because we knew what the weather was going to be every other year? Oh god these people. They would literally piss on your head and tell you it was raining.
Uncertainty about the next three months’ weather. Certainty over global warming. Ummmhmmm, sure. How convenient.
Tbf, hot air in Washington does tend to have extremely large effects on the rest of the country.
It's like the butterfly effect, except it's a bat effect...
High prices may not be your last worry. The grocery shelves are starting to run out of stocks in my (major) suburb. We may be in for a tough winter when shelves are empty.
Enjoy your free trial of communism, that you never asked for.
Which burb? I’m hearing off match shortages. And of course in the sf Bay Area, California, new propane tanks jumped from $40 to $65 this past quarter
If you do grocery, you will notice it. I am pretty sure shortages are rather widespread. Some basic staple items are in short supply intermittently.

The comments are gold here. Feels so great to read other cynics that are so pithy.
nice catch gato. it does seem likely this is the same "weather" grounding all those planes
OH that kind of gas !!! OHOHOH that kind of weather !!!!
it's sad how all these assholes end up at the tops of so many institutions and then pardon their terrorist friends
sorry thought you were making a "weather (under)ground" pun 😁

Sadly dementia is progressive and gets more difficult over time. I suppose the political progressives (aka socialists) dislike such progress.

Suspicious 0bservers!
If that happens then the Narrative becomes: "ZOMG! We must reduce our carbon footprint to stop global cooling!"
And people flocking to rural areas in the coldest parts of the country where food cannot be grown but a couple months out of the year to supposedly escape tyranny are in for a rude awakening. If you live somewhere where you can grow food most of the year, stand firm and fix your state! Say NO to tyranny and Karen.
Yes, food will be the main thing. Food, food, food.
Of course it's the weather. Same reason that Southwest cancelled all those flights even though the weather didn't affect Delta or American. Then, when Southwest eased its vaccine mandate on pilots, the weather began affecting Delta, which started to insist on similar mandates. When Delta backed off, the weather spread to American Airlines which, coincidentally, had just imposed similar vaccine mandates on pilots.
It's always the weather. Let's go Brandon!
Oh my Gosh. The Ministry of Truth really doesn't think we are very smart does it?
Gato please block this shit
Somebody said job.

How will they produce nitrogen when they end all the fossil fuels 🤷♀️
Who needs fertilizer and pesticides for industrial farmed Food?
Got 4 cords of wood, a Kalamazoo President from '32, sheep, chickens, and taters in the cellar.
So it’s going to be colder because of climate warming?

Natural gas prices have pretty much always been volatile for all sorts of reasons, ESPECIALLY when they became tied to the Futures Market!!
Thank you

Have you seen bitcoin miners using flare gas https://www.reuters.com/business/sustainable-business/oil-drillers-bitcoin-miners-bond-over-natural-gas-2021-05-21/
Lots of bitcoin miners are tapping into previously wasted energy.

I wonder if I could make money selling my dog's gas...
guard your dog. Gates will be coming for him for polluting the earth.
LOL In this house I am the guard dog, while she is snoring away.
Hey kitty I do LOVE your posts but who is getting tired of all this gaslighting already besides ME??
I guess due to the labor shortage they had to hire comedy writers for the headlines.
The HO and NG shorts are going to get *squeeze* like a Death Star trash compactor.
What happens in Winter?
Your financial advisor is definitely from the Lionel Hutz school of professional advice.
nothing to do with supply. ok.
Is his name, by any chance, Charles Boyer?
How about explaining why natural gas prices have been volatile for the past year?
If you frack in Connecticut, all you'll get is nutmeg.
Do cats like nutmeg??
adding a fracture to the gaslighting of the world - sounds you would nicely ride the trend
