In 1850 the US produced 200 million gallons of camphine annually. Kerosene didn't hit the 200 million gallon annual production mark until 1870. Taxation started in 1864. As usual you are just making shit up. Maybe you can ask Zoe to come and help you out again? -
Enough to get at least 1 believer elected to federal government.

The right believes a secret liberal group drinks the blood of children and runs a pedophile ring that needs to be stopped. The left believes there is systemic racism and law enforcement should be stopped from unnecessarily killing black people. These for many on the right somehow offset, cause it shows both sides wants the other side to stop doing something.

The government taxed alcohol, one of the main ingredients of camphine. What really happened in history is, unlike what you think you have learned from right wing meme education, is that camphine took over from whale oil, since whale oil was getting too short in supply and too expensive. Then kerosene came onto the market and the government decided to tax camphine ingredients much higher than kerosene ingredients, thus deciding the winner between the two and starting the longstanding tradition of "subsidizing" the fossil fuel industry. Didn't you wonder why your right wing memes compare kersone to whale oil and never mentioned camphine? Never wondered why the twitter memes never mentioned camphine was much more widely used as a whale oil replacement until the difference in taxation happened?
-
And the difference in taxation between kerosene and camphine has nothing to do with it? Both cost roughly $0.50 per gallon. Then the government levied taxes: $0.10 per gallon on kerosene and $2.00 per gallon on camphine. You want us to believe that had no impact? Up until that taxation came into play, camphine was actually more widely used than kerosene.
-
And why did kerosene take over and not camphine?

Nah, men and women created god so simpletons didn't have to think for themselves.

Like what? Forced Yoga camps and Hindu conversions?

It has been about 2 weeks since he has returned from Florida and he has gone pretty quiet. Hopefully they are not related.

In BC you can make an appointment in any of the regular vaccination centres if you self-identify as Indigenous (status or non-status First Nations, Metis or Inuit). There is no requirement to provide proof of ancestry.

Why? If the gun is just a tool and cannot be blamed for anything, why should auto fire guns be regulated or banned but other guns not?
-
The first sentence is certainly true. The second part is misleading. Colere as a verb was much more used in Latin to indicated agricultural uses. But belief systems are certainly part of culture.
-
They have. The recognize porn is free speech, yet restrict porn with kids in it. Erotica is free speech, but you can't write about underage children in erotica. So yes, there are restriction in place on free speech, specifically to reduce harm to children. Very few would argue that restrictions on child pornography are a slippery slope.
-
And cars have been upgraded, reviewed, redesigned, legislated, regulated etc etc etc in response. The gun lobby has resisted everything along those lines. But, we understand you are fine with kids dying as long as you get to keep your guns.
-
"People die of other causes and therefor mass shootings aren't a problem" is really one of the more stupid arguments.

New study shows that a proper reaction by the US could have avoided nearly 400,000 deaths. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-economy-idUSKBN2BH1DK

This part continues to make me cringe. Wouldn't sensible gun legislation mean this isn't required? Isn't part of freedom not having to be under armed guard? Where is the slippery slope argument around random warrantless searches?
-
And yet that is exactly what you have had for quite some time, mostly engineered by your party: the GOP. I find this is mostly driven by the GOP being absolutely unwilling to cooperate on anything gun legislation related. The GOP has three big rallying cries and "the Dems are going to take your guns" is one of them.

One of the first things the US did after invading Iraq was restricting civilian ownership of firearms.

Not at all. I am arguing their is an increase in demand, but that none of the models are showing a forecasted skyrocketing. Past demand means relatively nothing. I am also arguing there is a fair bit of pressure on current and future supply through weather events and increased tension in middle east see recent failed attack on oil infrastructure for instance. That is oil. I am also arguing that lockdown restriction in other parts of the world, such as Europe are having a restricting effect on demand, which again is not skyrocketing. So yes, demand is up, though not skyrocketing, and uncertainty around supply is driving up oil futures.
-
Gas or oil? You started with one and now are talking about the other. In general for both, they are driven by predicted demand and actual and predicted supply, mitigated by reserves.
-
I am going by what your government reported as of March 4th as a forecast. Maybe they are really bad at their jobs? World consumption at the start of Q1 2020 is not forecast to be matched until late 2021.
-
Not much change there at all, consumption about the same levels.
-
Consumption in Q4 2020 and projected demand in Q1 2021 was flat. Projected demand is increasing, but certainly not skyrocketing. The skyrocketing in consumption happened mostly Q2 2020 and extended a bit into Q3 2020.
