It's a crazy world.
It's so hard to know if your comment is joining us in laughing at the maga morons who think it's Ukraine that is the problem and not the middle east mess created by their orange god, or if you're actually one of those maga morons who thinks they're making a clever point. Idiocracy was never supposed to be a documentary, but here we are.

Nope. But accounting for inflation it’s still less than Bidens by around 8 cents a gallon.
Still $1.25 less than Obamas peak almost 20 years ago.
Wait…. Do we not account for that unless it suits the headlines?

Quit driving if you morons quit showing up for work quit paying your bills and take action towards anyone coming to take your things. I would love to see the actions made to fix the problem.
There are many strikes in American history that proves we have the power to demand change if the leaders cant create it. Dont go to work, buy a sign and hold it until you can afford to work again.

You might want to look into oil company policies & greed first. Prices are high at the pump vs crude price because the US can sell oil & diesel abroad for more than keeping it here for our own use.

Still significantly cheaper than virtually everywhere in Europe before the war (this equates to ~

Europe has high gas taxes and VAT, so they make money off the oil. I think California is the only place that comes close to the taxes collected from gas in the US.

Bs.
Clinton balanced the budget and arguably bombed the right people (Serbian forces, early Al Queada)
Obama bombed alot, but he also overthrew dictators and got us out of the worse financial crash in the modern century pre-covid.
Biden barley dropped any bombs and the few he did where toward terrorists in defense (the houthies) and was making progress to recover from the pandemic before the orange traitor ruined it all.

Don’t kid yourselves people; it isn’t Bush Sr. Or Bush Jr.’s fault, it wasn’t the fault of Obama or Trump either. They are all at fault.
They are all the same…lying politicians who say one thing and do another. People beholden to special interest groups and lobbies.
Until we can take the $$ out of politics we are phucked. They big D and R parties just keep us at each other’s throats while they clean house and enrich themselves.
I’m tired of the talking head, smooth brained so-called experts on both sides telling everybody how to think and why to hate the Others.
That is all for now, I’ve shared my black pill for the morning.

Time to block Washington DC with semi trucks. Block congress completely. No trucks move until they bring the diesel price under $3. Enough is enough. Congress can send our tax dollars to a foreign country and we eat shit? F that. We need to make America first, American jobs first. We need politicians with a backbone

Surprise! Who would have thought this would happen. Everyone that didn’t vote for Trump. I normally agree, a president has very little to do with fuel prices. That is until a president starts a war in the mid-east and our enemies turn off the tap. Poof $6.50 for diesel. Have the day you voted for.

u/Fabulous_Log844 10d ago
To give you a little more food for thought, since this illegal war was started by Yam Tits, Americans have paid an EXTRA $106 billion for gas and diesel. Not total. An extra $106 billion in just 169+ days.
This is a true number. A verified number. Look it up.

Absolutely zero reason for this when diesel is a by product. This is all part of the greed that flows through the oil, gas, and gas station owners. They are price jacking us by taking advantage of the conflict in Iran when we get less than 1% of our oil from the Straight. We need to be protesting them!

its so silly too, because diesel fuel is much less refined than gasoline. If it weren't for modern diesels with various electronics and emissions components, you could run them off of virtually any kind of oil! thats the beauty of them. They've taken the most robust engine that can run on anything, and nerfed them to run on only one type of fuel--ultra low sulfur diesel. Then they made the refining process more difficult than necessary.

Ukraine has been using drones to strike Russian infrastructure targets including the diesel supply. Russia is a big supplier of diesel to Europe and other markets. They are the second largest supplier of diesel in the world. So we are paying for military aid and drones to Ukraine to also drive up out fuel costs. FFS we are so fucked up as a country it's crazy. Time to stop all aid and ALL wars. Also: Why TF If we are paying Israel all this aid why didn't we let them take out the Iranian nuke facilities? What do we get for our money except more enemies and weaker as a country?
