If this rallies the American couch potatoes to finally rise up and get rid of him and his cronies, fine with me.
It’s sick that his many crimes, overt corruption, protecting pedos (and being one) somehow is less revolting (pun intended) than fucking gas prices to the American populace.
Many of them have no empathy, so gas prices are the only thing that directly affect them.
Oh, yeah last week I could see many locations still below $5.00
Now there’s only one left
wow, $3.29 right now at costco here in georgia
I don’t know exactly why but Washington state gas is crazy high. Normal is $4.50 since ~ 2019. How come we can’t get cheap gas? Doesn’t matter now. Soon you’ll have $5 gas and we’ll have $7 gas. I want to see us go full Europe…$10 gas!
If gas gets expensive maybe it will make Americans reconsider how much their lives are revolving around cars and help push for more green alternatives and better urban planning.
You can’t reconsider having to walk 3 Miles uphill in freezing rain to get milk and water. In other places you can indeed ride a bike to various places.
Washington, similar to Cali, has a lot more gas tax built into our prices which is why they’re higher than most states. I think like .55/gal is taxes alone.
That’s true yes, but potentially even more impactful is that the Pacific coast of the USA is essentially independent of the rest of the country’s petroleum production and distribution. The Sierras and Cascades historically made overland distribution difficult and expensive, and maritime distribution from elsewhere in the country is also difficult because of geography (gotta do Panama canal or a long haul around South America). Because of these realities, petroleum extraction, refining and distribution in the west developed seperately and even today operate mostly independently - while technical solutions are now plausible, regulatory issues and moneyed interests that prefer the status quo continue to prevent development.
Thanks for the additional info!
I dunno where this is, but these prices seem only slightly elevated above normal to me.
This is west of Seattle Washington. The prices haven’t been this high since the pandemic.
Yesterday gas in my neighborhood was $3.49 and this morning it is now $3.79. I fully expect it to keep wildly jumping up daily until the public either starts burning stuff down or strikes.
What doesn’t make sense is the price is going up seeing that US refiners don’t use Persian gulf crude.
The US refineries aren’t even configured to use Persian gulf oil. Your prices should be going down considering Trump opened the strategic reserves.
It won’t rise daily, it will rise with each truckload. So, twice a day or so depending on where you live?
There’s going to be pretty good deals on things that can tow pretty soon
