We’re also now entering the period where historically diesel demand starts ramping up. Gonna get interesting.
Stock up on dry beans and rice and flour.
How do I make diesel out of it?
I think I saw a movie about this… was it called Mad Max?
No, in Mad Max somehow everyone had lots of fuel for their stupid giant trucks.
The population was massively reduced
Landry issued an executive order temporarily allowing dyed diesel, typically reserved for off-road vehicles, to be used in certain highway vehicles
Cool. Solving a supply issue by suspending taxes. Supply and demand will not care
Also gave a nice excuse to everyone to bee able to get caught with dyed fuel for quite a time. The dye will remain even after several fills
Not that it matters much though. Pure window dressing, considering how little dyed diesel is available in the market anyway

Someone do the math comparing total cost of Iran war to the cost of buying everyone an EV and rooftop solar.
Napkin math disclaimer
Cost of Iran war so far: $43.6b
Number of people in the US with drivers license: 242.1m
Average EV cost: $55k
Number of households: 133m
Average rooftop solar cost: $22.5k
Cost to give everyone EVs: 242.1m × $55k = $13.3b
Cost to give every household rooftop solar: 133m × $22.5k = $3b
Total cost: $16.3b
We’d have enough to do it almost 3 times.
You forgot to multiply the k. You’re off by a factor of 1000.
You’re off by a factor of 1000
Nah, I messed up looking at the answer, not with the math.
Edit: it’s wild that I was downvoted for admitting my mistake.

You messed up the math, so how is this admitting your mistake?
No, I didn’t. The math was fine, it was me not counting the places in the answer correctly that was the problem.
That’s part of the math
They’re already telling the poors to eat less beef, so any minute now!
It’s strange times for us !fuckcars folks, lemme tell ya. Strange times, indeed…
How could biden do this/s
That’s one of them fellers that like to get all up close un personal with them there leopards.
But they voted for this?
By a wide margin.
Maybe if they disenfranchise more black voters it’ll magically go down.
EMERGENCY WE FUCKED UP AND ITS YOUR FAULT
It’s time!
It’s ok. They will take our money to cover their losses in case you were worried.
Oh wait for it. It’s not even close to how high it will get once Iran times another closure of the Hormuz strait for maximum impact for the midterms
I’m worried there will be some fucked up deal to have it suddenly all at least temporarily under control within the weeks ahead, getting Republicans favor again.
A reverse Reagan, if you will.
more an exact Reagan, where Iran works with the republicans to help them get elected timed right around the election cycle.
Its really no longer tied to that, it has more to do with refineries in the US shut down for maintenance and the refineries that were hit in Russia, Ukraine and a little middle east capacity that went down. Oil inventories are actually rising, because there isn’t enough refining capacity for it. It’s why diesel is so expensive right now and oil isn’t over $200 a barrel.
This is COMMUNISM! As a Voter in Louisiana I OVERWHELMINGLY voted for EXACTLY these Gas Prices! It’s a SMALL Price to PAY to make sure Iran, who had NO Nukes or INTEREST in getting Nukes before Trump bombed them, has NO Nukes!
So what prevents the rest of the states from declaring a state of emergency and voiding the 24.4 cents for diesel, and 18.4 cents for standard fuel that is taxed by the federal government?
Did you…take high school civics?
I get wanting to make fun of them but there are ways to reduce fuel prices via a state of emergency, don’t get me wrong it’d hurt like a bitch but you could do it.
What are you on about? You seem to show the same lack of civics knowledge as the person I replied to. Do you understand what federalism is?
I was moreso referring to work from home mandates, and putting in incentives out to reduce the amount of trucks on the road stuff like that. I legit don’t see what relevance fuedalism has in this situation since that’s basically irrelevant to things like price controls.

I see you did as well in reading and spelling as you did in civics.
Nah, just have a brain fuck of a migraine, I’d rather be safe with superfluous apostrophes than fuck up a sentence completely.
Regardless nothing about what I said is impossible, unwarranted, or unprecedented. Frankly it’d be better to take proactive measures to reduce fuel prices or at least reduce fuel consumption than risk economic collapse because no one can due interstate trade outside of the rails which would bottleneck badly. Don’t think anyone wants the fuel crisis from the 70s back, but we may not have much of a choice given current circumstances.
Or econ 101 lol
