I’ve debated getting a bike. My office is only about 2 miles from my house and my life, other than church, is basically within a 5 mile bubble of where I live.

Part of the high prices is obviously the Strait mess. But XOM and CVX both have had their total assets go up 25% since Q4 2025, while liabilities are down. I applaud Trump for calling those companies out a few weeks ago, though I’m not sure he can/will do much about it.

Do it, Frank.

I typically keep my car in the garage on Saturdays and bus/walk to places. I'm luck to have the chance to do that. Obviously, that's not an option for many folks.
