It seems we’re starting to feel the effects of the attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil supply. A local 7-Eleven raised gas prices by at least 30 cents per gallon.
They’re being ironic again?

I heard about that on Twitter.Still have to wonder how it managed to make it past the drawing board.
I heard about that
Atwater: As to the whole Southern strategy that Harry S. Dent, Sr. and others put together in 1968, opposition to the Voting Rights Act would have been a central part of keeping the South. Now you don’t have to do that. All that you need to do to keep the South is for Reagan to run in place on the issues that he’s campaigned on since 1964, and that’s fiscal conservatism, balancing the budget, cut taxes, you know, the whole cluster.Questioner: But the fact is, isn’t it, that Reagan does get to the Wallace voter and to the racist side of the Wallace voter by doing away with legal services, by cutting down on food stamps?Atwater: Y’all don’t quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger”. By 1968 you can’t say “nigger”—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now [that] you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I’m not saying that. But I’m saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, “We want to cut this”, is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Nigger, nigger”. So, any way you look at it, race is coming on the backbone.

Speaking as someone who lived through that era, yes. That rings very true.The only part that is missing is the “We need states in the US that are as poverty stricken as Mexico so we can have that ‘dollar a day labor’ here, without having to ship our manufacture back and forth over borders. And that’s what the south was built for.”I wish I was making that up. Anyone else ever been to one of Kurtzig’s manufacturing ASK/MANMAN meetings?
