“I rather pay higher costs in gas as long as it means we’re safe!” What I hear on the daily. I’m wondering if the one’s saying that lived in fear every single day since 2003? Must be a stressful life
“I rather pay higher costs in gas as long as it means we’re safe!”
If you don’t live in one of the two biggest towers in NYC, you’re probably going to be fine.
As an Iranian, I have known this war is coming for 25 years. Iran has done everything in its power to avoid it, but unfortunately it’s only a real deterrence that is going to work to keep Iran safe. I’m sorry that makes your acquaintances fell unsafe.
Iran has done everything in its power to avoid it
Lmao
It has. I’m sorry that Western morons mistook Iran’s patience for weakness. Now the US in particular is going to learn a hard lesson.
It is my hope that in the near future there will be a peace based on mutual respect so that we can focus on the bigger issues for humanity (climate change in particular), but Iran will never bow do genocidal, colonial slave enterprises. It hasn’t done so in 7000 years and it certainly won’t start now. I do believe that the USA has all of the tools to rectify its course when it comes to colonialism and genocide and I’m rooting for Americans that are trying to take back their country.
The petro state can eat shit. As someone who works three minimum wage jobs and still comes up with shit this economy is killing me. Trump can eat a bowl of fucking shit and anyone who voted for him should realize they are a fucking asshole.
If our fellow americans, the staunch supporters of our dementia patient pedo pres, could read they would be very upset. Your lazy life isnt hard, you must not work as much as a hard working billionaire, psh. And Ill be one myself someday if my hat is red enough! Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and work a 12th job! 4th? I cant read.
Gasoline costs more right now than any time within my time living in the US
You missed the George Bush Jr era highs. $8+/gal in California. Even Houston, Texas pumps were charging north of $6. That was shortly before the 2006 mid-term bloodbath. Mysteriously, prices absolutely tanked just before the election, then rebounded a few weeks after the polls closed - not that it saved anyone.
Don’t worry. The last boat just parked in California and they say they’re good for the next six weeks. So I’m sure everything is going to be fine going forward.
We will be doing so much winning you might get tired of all the winning! 🫲🍊🫱
As an American, I think this is great. I hope it triples.
I’m with you but a little more extreme: I hope Aermica contracts a virus or genetic condition that limits reproduction to .05% of previous so the world can start to heal without nuking us,
Where is Jessica Hyde?
Thousands killed, Schools bombed in “brown people” countries, neighbors deported to prisons, countless international crimes
Republicans: Crickets
Filling the tank on their 2023 EarthDestroyer costs 45% more than they expected
Republicans: “THAT’S THE LAST STRAW”Republicans: Crickets
Crickets? More like thunderous applause.
Hell, even some SuckDems were getting in on the “They probably bombed themselves with their own Tomahawk missiles. But even if they didn’t it all worked out because dead child Iranians can’t grow up to be adult terrorists.”
Entirely fair.
Its just to hasten transition to electric vehicles. 8D chess
I hope it backfires and increases gen z and alpha support for building out public transit. Viable Metro systems in every US city, commuter rail across all 50 states and national high-speed rail system. If we have those things, who cares how much gas costs
That should be the default for every country
Yes. But also, AMERICA!
Donald Trump, greatest agent of the Green Energy Revolution in our lifetime.
No shortage, just price
Netanyahu thanks you for your sacrifice.
He needed the world to be looking elsewhere while he commits further atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon
And sadly, it has been very effective
I sincerely believe that he has serious dirt on Trump, but there’s also the fact that Trump is a fucking moron who is easily manipulated by appeals to his ego and BiBi convinced him that it’d mean he would be remembered as a wartime leader
It’s not helped by the fact that America is, by and large, a stupid country
I don’t feel sorry for Americans. You voted this orange turd in. While the rest of the world suffers as well
To be clearly, only about a 1/3rd of us voted for him. And realistically, of the registered voters, only a small percentage can actually influence the outcome by way of being in “swing states”.
But yah, I’m pretty fucking pissed at pensilvanians who wrote in Mickey Mouse because they thought it was funny.
I’m personally not that upset about gas prices going up as I can not afford a car anyways.
You clearly don’t understand how fucked up voting in “the cradle of democracy is.” The American government and the rich will do anything and everything in their power to disenfranchise voters. Just do a little deep dive into how fucking stupid our electoral procedures are and what they are designed to do.
K but somehow seems less important than the fact that Donald Trump raped and trafficked children and the Republican Party is protecting him.
With that said, sucks it’s going to cost so much to light him on fire after dumping gasoline on him, but it’s worth it. Think of the children.
You meant “more important”, right?
No? I think the fact a child rapist has been allowed to be President is of greater concern than rising gas prices. That between the two gas prices are less important than the fact the child rapist hasn’t been excised from office and preferably killed in such a way as to set an example to the rest of the Epstein Class.
Unless I fucked up that sentiment somehow in my previous post?
I agree that the stuff about trump is more important than gas prices therefore i wanted to correct your first sentence. You meant it seems that people care more about gas prices than the child rapist in power. So you should have written “more”, not “less”, if you meant it the way you just explained.
Okay no, you partially misunderstood/misread my comment. It was written more as a tongue in cheek reply to the Title. Another way to put the first of my original sentence is “K but (Gas Prices) somehow seems less important than…”
I wrote it exactly how I meant it. If I replaced it with more not less it would read out “K but (Gas Prices) somehow seems more important than…” in which case I would be saying the exact opposite of what I mean.
The Original version is correct.
Got it
Ah, yes. Then yes, you did. Explanation tracks with your sentiment, but @[email protected] 's correction is what you want. Fully written out text you can spot which part of the comparison you took by mistake: somehow the gas prices seem more important news, while they should be less important than the child raping.
Ahh, I see my tongue in cheek tone didn’t make it through in the first part of the sentence. Welp, it happens.
They’ve actually jumped 500% if you calculate your percentages the other way
Well, yeah.
So it costs like 15cts/ltr instead of 10cts/ltr?
87 to 121 cents per liter roughly, prices varied widely around the country, but roughly that as an average. 3$ per gallon to 4.50$ per gallon.
We got basically 5 bucks a gallon round here at some gas stations.
Man do I wish billionaires actually had to pay for things.
they will likely flee the country when people finally come for thier heads.
Well yes but they’re also spiteful; if I recall history correctly, the disenfranchised elite in France during the Revolution sought refuge in neighboring territories and then hired mercenaries and private armies to try to return and recapture their villas.
So it’s not like “they just flee”, their egos are too damn large to remain in quiet wealthy exile.
