Falling oil prices....really the work of the Saudis?

[Barrister]

Gas is down to $0.75 per litre.  It must have been the 1990s when it was last this cheap at the pump.

Early 90s at least. I was travelling through Edmonton fairly regularly in 93-94 and I only recall it dipping below $1 once during a price war.

Just checked.  Looks like in Edmonton gas prices went into the 60 cent range during the 2008 crash.  I wasn't living here then.

And it's within the last 10-12 years that prices first broke the buck a litre price.  It wsa amusing because gas stations didn't even have the extra digit in their signs.

It's still much more expensive here than it was in the mid/late 90s. We could get a gallon of gas for under a buck.

Well, I suppose that might be the same rate if inflation is factored in.

Gas was 2.19/gal today. So I filled a kiddie pool with it and bathed in it.

1.98 last time I checked.

Yea I think it was the 40-cent mark I am thinking of.

Figures. When I had a two-hour one-way commute, it was $4.  Now that I'm sitting around staring at the cat, it's going to crash the $2 mark.

Canada has 18% fewer wells operating now than it had last week. Last week.

SHIT JUST GOT REAL

Lower oil prices would normally not be a bad thing for countries that aren't Norway or Saudi-Arabia. Now, however, it seems the price isn't indicative of higher supply, but rather low demand and lower activity in general almost everywhere. This really bodes well for 2015, doesn't it? Any bubbles left to burst? Anyone? Anywhere?

Unless the GOP can produce another major loss next year, Fox News will likely see a major decline in viewership.

They were getting the top ratings during the Bush years. They will continue as long as conservatives convince themselves all the other channels are biased against them, regardless of which party is in power.

Not if we get a nasty flu bug.  The elderly are very susceptible to influenza.

In contrast to MSNBC, who's ratings are totally dependent on a Republican in the White House.

[Valmy]

What news do all the left wingers watch when the Democrats are in the White House?
