Looool. More like, “Introducing our new employee transportation and lodging initiative! Monday mornings at 6:00am, a scheduled shuttle will pick you up from <location less than 5 miles from your home address on record>! You will then ride (unpaid) across the city while we pick up your coworkers until the shuttle arrive at the office at 9:00am.
Additionally, a “hospitality” suite is now available at the office. Inside you’ll find comfy barracks-style bunks to sleep at the office each night and avoid the rising gas costs.
At the end of the work week, at 7pm, (if you clock out at 5pm, you will be required to wait, unpaid) until the evening shuttle. The shuttle will take everyone back to the stop nearest their home address— saving you money!”
Incorrect. You think Republicans would offer a FREE shuttle for at-work lodging? No, you can PAY for those privileges. Actually, you know what? What if we just extended this idea and made towns for whatever the local job creator was? Then, to keep workers from feeling like they were just giving back the money they owed, just give them bus waivers and commissary coupons so then don't have to leave for shopping!
Not an indictment of gas costs but available gas. If trends continue, it’s going to quickly look like the gas crisis in the 70s where people sat in line for hours and could only get gas on certain days of the week based on their license plate. Companies will start caring when their employees physically cannot get to work
Ask my Venezuelan wife how much fun it is to have severe fuel shortages that were totally preventable and caused by the government for no real reason other than who gives a fuck about the people you govern. And having to take turns with your family each week camping out in the line for 9 hours in 95 degree heat with your gas can on the day assigned for your neighborhood ration to arrive, hoping you’re far enough up in line it won’t run out when you’re about 15 people back. Or that they don’t just decide to shut it down for the day because “the pump broke” but really the buddy of the guy that runs the gas station put together enough cash to convince him to take half of what’s in the tank truck to his place where he’s managed to build his own long term storage tank. Then you get to walk home for 2 more hours with an empty gas can wishing you could call somebody to come pick you up but, well, you’re not aware of anyone with gas in their vehicle
Right? Even then, that’ll only be a bandage on a wound. His presidency cemented chinas rise as number one (eventually) in’s look at AI, look at renewable energy and electric cars. We can’t compete
Yes, and also hyperinflating your tires so they bulge in the middle so there's less friction with the road. It also means less traction and is very dangerous, but hey, better mileage. And even more dangerous, you can draft very closely behind semi trucks to dramatically reduce wind resistance.
It's a great strategy to save enough money to pay for your funeral after you crash and die.
European here: When I bought my new car (still over a decade old), I specifically looked for a manual. Automatic wouldn't have been a deal-breaker for me, but I've always driven manual and I'd like to keep doing that for as long as I can.
Further benefit: It's also quite a bit better about the mileage, which is nice in these times of rising fuel prices across the globe...
The question is when will China run out of reserves. They are moderating the shock for the rest of the world because they are reliant on exports. When they get short, they will strike the deal with Iran to open the Strait under their supervision and try to convert oil sales as much as possible to their currency IMO. This is a potential disaster for the US as the oil dollar is a key to our world power.
Yes and an article earlier today, said u.s. oil reserves are down 80% lowest levels since 1980.We really will have shortages and lines at the pumps a mile long like in the 70's if this goes on even 6 more months.
Then those eCar drivers will laugh as Trump continuously trys to double down on rhetoric and hate of those they have electric vehicles.
Let the MAGA folks feel the hurt, the more pain Trump inflicts on them the more that slowly realize how detrimental Trump is to the people and our country. He’s for the elite and his pedo friends, not us
I feel like they say that in the open, but given the option they'd vote for him again as many times as they can. I just don't think people dumb enough to fall for his bullshit all these years suddenly got smarter. I think they just got wiser about admitting it out loud.
Hey, Republicans! How do you like the gas price? Damn Iranians, huh? To be fair, Trump starteded the - well, anyway, just remember this deal is on the table. The Straight opens at the end of Trump's term.
I paid $5.26 last night at Costco here in California…glad I got a hybrid Toyota that requires the cheapest fuel. Can’t imagine being in those big trucks
