Awww, did someone get addicted to unsustainable energy sources that are artificially cheap due to externalized costs?
Edit: For context, the highest price shown in this picture is still 32% cheaper than gas was in Germany BEFORE your genius president decided to start a war, and around 42% cheaper than it is now. And seeing as we're still burning fossils like there's no tomorrow, it is apparently not nearly expensive enough yet.
No the oil lobby is forcing it upon us. We try to get renewables but they are being destroyed by idiots.
Well, y'all had the chance to elect people less influenced by the oil lobby. and y'all collectively failed.
At no point in my lifetime have we had a chance to elect anyone not influenced by capital lobbyists. Our elections are a farce where the choices are between letting things get worse or keeping them the same. We’re ratcheting further and further into hell every few years and given nothing but the illusion of choice to prevent it. The votes and opinions of the working class have literally no statistical influence on legislation passed in this country. None.
Yep, 1/3 of us choose not to show up, because the candidate wasn't perfect or they couldn't be bothered, along with the disenfranchisement of people due to "voting reform".
I wish it mattered that a lot of us voted against this shit, but just as many wanted it/didn't care, so here we are. It fucking sucks here 😕
I'm not just talking about Kamala here - Bernie being listed while running on a pretty popular programme, just because the right would audibly consider it "communist" (while they'd still do so even if the Democrats brought out a plan that matched the GOP 99.999%) is another good example.
Same answer applies. We consistently have a third of the population sit out of the general, and only a fraction of voters participate in primaries.
Too many are apathetic and don't participate, or become so entrenched in purity politics and reject anything that could stem the bleeding because it's too middle of the road and stay home. A lot of our problems could be solved by an active and informed electorate, but too many want perfection and are willing to sacrifice passable to get less than nothing.
Comparatively, fuel in Hong Kong is about $4/litre which is about $15/gallon... so count your lucky stars and stripes you warmongering fools.
Right, because the people of California were the ones clamoring for a war in the middle east.
6M Californians voted for him.
And yet none of it went towards electing Trump.
Until the people of the US do something about your tyrannical government, I think the rest of the world is going to make snide comments and tar you all with the same brush. Let's be honest, it doesn't matter who youve voted for, the US consistently will start wars.
It sucks but at least you guys arent the ones being bombed.
The US has a lot of blame for these wars, certainly, I'm on the same page, but historically, the US was not there alone. So when you point the finger and say the US and its citizens need to do something, remember that you could also be pressuring your own government to stand up for what's right, in a world full of Kier Starmer, be a Pedro Sanchez.
You and I are of the same mind, we are better together than fighting each other.
11,7$/gallon in Germany . It had never been so high.
If only conservatives weren't so focused on the economy the economy would be doing better. :(
They focus on the economy just like they focus on underaged girls
They're only looking for something they can fuck
You sonofabitch I’m writing this because I can’t upvote twice. Capital joke!
I love all the comments from other countries stating "oh that's still cheap."
Lil bro, I probably drive more in a month just for the menial shit I need to do than you do in a year, and I work from home.
We don't even fucking have sidewalks where I live.
Good news is, once enough of you cant afford the fuel anymore, you can easily convert one of the 8 lanes into a sidewalk.
Or even... gasp a cycle path. dun dun dunnnn
Bro I live in the Netherlands one of the densest countries in the world, with great pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and good public transportation. The average work commute here is still 40km per day that’s 200km a week so 120 miles per week. And the majority of people use the car to commute. Gas is €2.34/L and Diesel is €2.58/L that’s €8.84/gallon or $10.2/gallon for petrol and €9.57/gallon or $11/gallon for diesel.
So people all over the world are screwed even if they travel less. And even if you don’t use a car guess what will happen to food prices and public transportation ticket prices when diesel is as expensive as it is now.
They said, sobbing
Swap the F150 for a prius.
Roll less coal
I'm being mean. Your country is damn big. But your fuel is hella cheap. Do you drive 200 miles per day?
It's not impossible. I had a 1.5 hour one-way commute to work at one point.
Remember when all the coal rolling micropenises were whacking "I did that!" stickers stickers on everything?
Wonder what they're all blaming now their man, Mango Mussolini and his team of cum-guzzling sycophants and fascist handlers are fully in charge?
Is it still somehow Biden's fault? What's their play here?
I saw someone rambling yesterday that it indeed is Obama and Bidens fault due to them not attacking Iran when they were in power and now Trump has to clean up their mess. Unhinged logic for sure.
Canadian comparison: $6.79 USD/gal(us) is $2.49 CAD/L, currently.
Gas around here in Edmonton, Alberta is between $1.45 CAD/L and $1.72 CAD/L depending how hard you look.
That would be between $3.95/gal(us) and $4.68/gal(us)
I think this is all a conspiracy to make the price of a foot long seem cheaper. Big sandwich with the full support of Subway is manipulating the U.S. into performing atrocious acts to drive up fuel prices. Thus when you see the cost of a sub, you'll be like huh... That's actually not that terrible. /s
Diesel in Denmark is 11.2 USD/gallon ... but do keep complaining about your luxuriously low gas prices, which BTW was caused by the POTUS too many Americans couldn't be bothered to vote against.
but if Kamala won, all those Palestinian children would die!
she's just as bad as Trump!
Diesel is over $7/gal, it's fucking wild out here.
I got a big pay bump last October and I felt like for the first time since the 00's I was finally out of the "just getting by" pay curve for Bay Area California and then this Iran war shit happens and now everything including gas is more expensive, clawing back all the gains I've made.
At least there's a chance things might go back to normal if this shit ever ends, but I expect that prices are going to stay high long after the justification for raising them vanishes, just like with inflation.
I can appreciate that premium gas is only $.30/gal more, where by me it's $1.10/gal more 😡😤
Be glad. Here fuel costs around 8-9 dollars equivalent for the same amount, thanks to your senile president.
For comparison, prices near me in the UK are £1.55 a litre which is about $7.45 a gallon.
Ha! Take that liberals! /S
Good time to buy the cheapest electric car you can find and use it for commute and round town driving. Leave the gas car for longer trips.
I couldn’t help but notice there’s a different price for cash and card, is that normal in the States?
Californian gas prices disturb Americans and Europeans alike.
They just disagree with the direction in which the price must be wrong.
