We're beginning to see more Diwali celebrations popping up, with public fireworks and other showing of lights.

As for Muslim holidays, I don't think Eid al-Fitr has a public festival component, but there will usually be extra sweets at work.

But you have to be careful if you put everything on a bagel.

You might have had some natural libertarians, but a lot of people became Republican around the time that legislation was being enacted to get rid of racial segregation.

I hope it is enough, but I know they had concerns earlier.

And Nordstream I & II definitely aren't starting soon due to likely Russia's actions.

Germany gets gas from Russia via other pipelines, the gas storage may not last the winter, and the LNG terminals may not be enough to replace Russian supplies.

Hopefully Germany gets a mild winter.

The West here isn't a blanket term.

If any Western country wants normalization soon, it will be Germany. The country runs on Russian energy and makes a lot of money exporting to Russian markets.

France seems apprehensive, mainly because ditching Russian energy may mean a complete rethink of its internal energy economy in a way to make it more open with the rest of the continent.

Those are Iraqi Kurds, not Afghani Kurds.

The 2022 Budget in Brief Page 13 has three lines: 2016 State Transportation Projects Funding Agreement, 2021 State Transportation Projects Funding Agreement, and Proposed Gateway Project Tunnel.

The transfers are large enough to be in the summary.

The widening isn't going to widened at the tunnel, but before to address industrial traffic from Bayonne and Jersey City. This includes the Bayonne Container Terminal, which is seeing increased traffic from international trade.

They need to replace the whole viaduct from Exit 14 to the Holland Tunnel. Since they are replacing the entire viaduct, they are looking at potential demand including from Hudson County. That is why the cost is so high. It is being discussed in the media as a widening only while this is both a widening and replacement. It will still cost a lot of money to replace the viaduct even if they don't add any extra lanes or shoulders.

They do now.

That is probably a good idea. Not thinking of it too hard, people might think higher number is better. However, there may be reasons that there is variance across staff, like complications with the prescription or patient.

Is there price gouging or was it just the market reacting to a supply squeeze and existing infrastructure not in place to adjust for shifts in locations of supply?

At the point where the different governments want to dictate price, why not have consumer nations nationalize their energy industries?

So invade Saudi Arabia?

That isn't how profit margins work in resource extraction.

Some sites have a low extraction cost, like Saudi Arabia, while other sites have a high extraction cost like Alberta. The cost of oil has little to do with the cost of extracting that oil.

So, when the price is low, it is economically viable for Saudi Arabia to pump while it isn't for Alberta. This is what restricts the supply. When the price is high, it is economically viable for both areas to pump, increasing supply. However, Saudi Arabia makes more money per gallon when the price is higher than when the price is low.

Substitution goods, like renewable energy, take years to build out. So, when you have an oil shock like now, it takes a while to stabilize. You may also have a case where the subscription good costs more.

You don't make record profits when the price of the thing you still is low.

That is really funny that Texas has the highest gas tax.

Where is United mileage program? United has effectively made the argument that its mileage program is worth more than the company as a whole.
