How much do you think the Climate Activists cost you personally? Is it just when they block a road, or is it when they raise oil, gas, and electricity prices? We have the international team from Bulgaria, Texas, the UK, and Canada ready to discuss this expensive topic with David Zaruk. We have Tammy Nemeth, Irina Slav, David Blackmon, and Stu Turley prepared for a great start to your week.
