We did get some clearer policy ideas Asked what she would do on Day 1, Harris said she would look for ways to “strengthen” the middle class and start trying to implement her “Opportunity Economy” plan she laid out last week to bring prices down and try to make homes more affordable. Specifically, Harris talked in this interview about: Extending a $6,000 child tax credit to families for first year of a child’s life, and her A $25,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit She has noted other proposals in the course of this truncated campaign, like wanting to try to pass the John Lewis voting rights bill, which Republicans have blocked, and wanting to revive the border-security bill Biden drafted with conservative Republicans that Trump opposed and the GOP-led House then killed. Harris has been dinged for not putting forward deep policy proposals, but no candidate campaigns successfully as a walking policy memo. Campaigns do usually roll out policy papers that include cost analyses and the like, and Harris hasn’t done that, but neither has Trump in a serious way. Plus, presidential campaigns are really about big ideas and what direction a candidate wants to take the country, especially in this election, when people have such strong and ingrained feelings about Trump. [...] Interesting. So based on the last sentence, it's just about not being Trump. Not a horrible strategy I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You go buy a couple of quarts every week and put it in a burner. It’s usually enough unless it gets real cold. I use STP but there are less expensive ones but they don’t get as hot. Synthetic is very expensive but lasts longer. A lot of the new burners only take synthetic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heating oil is delivered to homes by trucks that pump the oil into the home's storage tank Heating oil is a petroleum product used for heating in homes and other buildings, primarily in boilers and furnaces for space heating and in water heaters for water heating. It's also known as red diesel, dyed diesel, or off-road diesel. Heating oil is dyed red to indicate that it's exempt from federal, state, and local taxes on fuels used on public roads. It's illegal to use heating oil in vehicles that normally operate on roads. There are two main types of heating oil: gas oil and kerosene. Gas oil is used for commercial and agricultural purposes, while kerosene is used in many homes. Higher grades of heating oil are cleaner, burn more efficiently, and have less of a negative impact on the environment. Grades 1 and 2 are the cleanest and most commonly used in home and commercial heating systems. Most heating oil is used during the heating season, from October to March. Heating oil is produced from crude oil, but some suppliers also offer blends of petroleum distillate and biofuels. source: google AI My home uses natural gas for heat. My A/C is electric.

And then they let the Trump folks complain about it. And complain about it. Pretty soon the MSM was also complaining about it. So by the time Kamala finally did give an interview the TV ratings were off the charts. And since most people think she did fine, all it did was give her tons of positive attention after weeks of hype.

I'm literally 40+ years old and never heard a human being use the term "heating oil". I assumed it must be a east coast thing or something. I was genuinely just asking for a explanation. When I was very young coal trucks would come to the homes around me. They would deliver coal through a chute in your home to a bin near your furnace. You then shoveled it into the furnace as needed. A few years later lots of folks upgraded to fuel oil. Tthe trucks would deliver to your home. They would pump the fuel oil into tanks in your home near the furnace, generally around where the coal bins use to be. Our home had two 1000 gallon tanks. That became very uncommon as new construction starting in the 60's and 70's had electric or gas furnaces and older neighborhoods were retrofitted for gaslines to gas furnaces. I have not seen an oil furnace in maybe 45 or 50 years. Still they are out there and are still around in the northeast in rural communities where gaslines would not be cost effective. Newer construction in such rural communities now also uses propane instead of fuel oil, propane delivered to a tank on your property by a truck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are out in rural america where homes may be miles apart no gas or electric company is going to run lines to your home. It is just not cost effective. You need an alternative. Fuel oil was the common alternative in the 50's and before, and several of those homes are still standing and will be for another century. Now those homes have propane and/or solar. Some even wind or micro-hydro, and a few heat with heat pumps in the ground.

The Real timschochet 4,568 Posted August 31 So I’m watching the Clemson vs Georgia game and twice now I’ve seen this commercial in which a woman whose daughter was murdered by an illegal immigrant blames Kamala Harris. Not an official Trump campaign ad but “paid for by MAGA”. Obviously I’m biased but I don’t think this ad will be effective. I know it worked against Dukakis in 1988 but his connection to the guy that was paroled was a lot more direct than anything Kamala Harris might be responsible for. Plus it’s dark and ugly and I wonder if anyone beyond those who care most about this issue (the vast majority already voting for Trump) will be convinced by it. This is not to say that immigration isn’t an issue that could hurt Kamala but it seems to me that a better argument would be focused on the economic costs. Trying to blame her for some random murder will, IMO, appeal only to the extremists on this subject. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
