And yet they would still vote for the orange turd

You know I didn't think too much about the daily expense of gas since we drive relatively fuel efficient cars, but I looked up the mpg for some of the trucks and stuff near me and... How the fuck do people commute with mpgs as low as 12, sometimes?

Like, you shouldn't commute over an hour anyway, but at 60 miles one way, some cars burn 5 fucking gallons. This has gotta be wrecking his truck driving supporters.

Because of the inflation, the wife and I planned that we would do in state road trips for spring through fall because we really couldn't afford anything more fancy but with a Miata I thought that would be a fun compromise. Gas prices shut that all down. I thought how can I go even cheaper than that ? Ok this year is patio cookout and staycation. Sure, look at the price of food! That brings us back to inflation. This year is the year of laying low and eating poor. Puzzles are still cheap... Sigh.

Not cutting out driving?

I had to deal with an office in the US recently. Still meeting together, still taking trips for "team building". All while complaining about the high cost of fuel to travel. The remote work for the most part, but the higher up you go in their corporate ladder, the more travel and luxury they afford themselves. And then ask all their lowest workers to join in too, on their own dime.

Morons the lot of them.

how many of those plan to vote the same?

Shows you how absolutely broke most Americans are they can’t absorb an extra $50 or so per month.

Cutting the motor vehicles out entirely is such an insanely massive savings.

but 40% think he's doing a great job.

And huge chunks of them will still vote for whoever the GOP oozes out of the orphan crushing machine next.

I get trigger with these titles, 1/3 of USA people voted for trump, it is USA/Israel and Iran war. Calling it Trump war, making him the problem is misleading.

Worst case they should call it Republican war.

I still don't even get how fast food places can stay in business.

As I am forced back into the office because downtowns and business are lazy assholes and didn't transition and figure out how to be better

$97 at the pump yesterday. And that's with a normal sized gas tank. ninety seven!!)

Up to $50 a week from $38

Fuuuuun times. 9th-gen Civic si. ~32mpg.

What else have I cut to make up for this? Lmao. I haven't bought anything but used guns and metal since 2024. Brace for impact. It's gonna get bumpy.

Oh poor Americans..who chose him.

You can't make a civilization run on cheap gas forever.

In the US, public transportation has been deliberately held back and kept low-quality, in order to keep us dependent on driving. And as an extra added bonus, the poors, the disabled, those who have to depend on substandard bus transit, are in the permanent underclass.

Now we see the endgame. Make the underclass even bigger. Make Frank Freeway work just to pay for his hour-plus commute.

Idk... I kinda want the price of groceries to go down... 🤷 that might help me be able to save for an EV.

I guess it takes gas hitting $5/gallon for people to start riding bikes around here. It's also strange how empty the gas stations are today.
