toslow Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Like i keep saying you haven’t got the ability to think. In your mind you are only seeing the price at the pump and not the trickle down costs added to everything that tax is added in to i don’t know rather to keep saying you’re a dumb dumb or start to feel sry for illness Edited February 13, 2022 by toslow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we budget for a fleet of trucks we don't use the days price for calculating fuel costs ... carry on your ramblings about carbon tax adding 70% to gas prices in the last 12 months The government is not in control of these high prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody said the tax raised the price of fuel 70cents when did prices go down? that is the exact topic Prices going up or down due to fuel We all understand that if fuel goes up so does the costs. Here is a math lesson You have a truck full of 1000 items each costing $100 = $100 000 transports costs lets just use fuel costs trip was $1000 worth of fuel last year, now is $1500 a 50% increase ? how much would each item increase? I will wait for your answer similar to the raising of minimum wage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to bring myself to the level of uneducated fools for fuck sake’s do some reading This can be done by placing a surcharge on carbon-based fuels and other sources of pollution such as industrial processes. A carbon tax puts a monetary price on the real costs imposed on our economy, our communities and our planet by greenhouse gas emissions and the global warming they cause. not that i believe any of the climate change bullshit. we can save that for another thread Edited February 13, 2022 by toslow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to clear the rest of the lot this summer and figure where everything is going to be and watch the prices and jump on it if/when they come down somewhat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
