So it costs like 15cts/ltr instead of 10cts/ltr?
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
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.
Ah, yes. Then yes, you did. Explanation tracks with your sentiment, but @seriousslayerguy@lemmy.world '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.
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.
This is why slim shady is driving that Miata now
Oh dear, poor USians, higher fuel prices.. that’s just as bad as dropping your daughter off at school and then 5 minutes later hearing foreign planes just blew the whole place to shit… so much sympathy.
Especially when you consider that their fuel is actually pretty cheap
C'MON, BIG BEAUTIFUL OBITUARY
so much winning

Good. Have the day you voted for.
All because of one low IQ pedo and the members of Congress and the public that support that pedo.
All because of blackmail controlling that low IQ pedo.
And still about 30% of voters...
It's even worse. It's 50% of voters. 30% of the population
When fuel prices increase, everything else does too. Just wait for the next food and healthcare increases. Thank the idiots who voted for the Orange Russian Pedo agent.
healthcare increased when the extended subsidies ended from covid, that was removed when SCHUMER ended the shutdown early. almost immediately, from the insurance subs in our area, they reported a drastic increase in premiums for ACA plans.
Thanks Obama! -- 50% of the voters because propaganda
I would say that’s lights out for Republicans in the midterm elections, but we are well into full irrationality in this country at this point.
unlikely, they plan to steal it . as the voting rights act just been gutted, lousiania already went foward at suspended some elections so they can purge voters, likewise with other gop states doing the same if ont already, remember KEMP he purged voter rolls just before being elected himself. THE DNC gambled for no ROI for ending all these shutdowns early and trying to attack zohran so early on.
at this point they dont even need to use ICE to intimidate people at purple areas, ICE is just there for propaganda for fox.
Gasoline costs 50% more in the US than it did before the terrorist attacks on Iran ~~war~~
I am fortunate in that I don't have to buy gas for my car all that often because I don't drive a ton, but I'll have to this week and I am not looking forward to it.
The good news is that it'll be months/years before it ever gets back down to where it was two months ago 🫠
You're not immune. Don't forget, the machines that farm, process and deliver everything into your mouthhole all need to pay for fuel also.
I drive 30,000+ miles a year because of a shitty commute and driving a couple hundred miles out of town most weekends to help my parents.
And since I rent I really can't go electric.
the Iran *special military operation
It's ironic that a guy who hates "chy-nah" so much and wants to "drill", has likely done more to push Chinese cars worldwide, and EV's than any other president in history.
Whilst quality of life has dropped, he's also done an amazing job in pushing the AUD upwards vs USD too
However the real transformation we gotta do is to move to more public transportation (which can also be electrified) but these budgets are all gone under Trump.

Will that have an impact on the trump phone I pre-ordered?
Nah, they have plenty of gas in Ghina.
Wait for the food prices to follow.
“Thanks Obama”
