I saw diesel at the equivalent of $7.47 USD/gallon today where im at.
Wasn’t he elected precisely because of things like gas prices?
If he was PM here in UK he would be facing calls to resign. This would be seen as abandoning the electorate or breaking a manifesto pledge.
No, that’s fake news. What he said — he said you hear me ? He said he was gonna lower the price of eggs. And he did, it’s tremendous, the eggs… They’re cheaper than ever before. And they’re huge, huge eggs you wouldn’t believe it. I saw an egg… hear me, an egg that was so big it made Xi Jinpin afraid. Bigger than Greenland, and it was a cheap egg, a proud American egg. But now people don’t want cheap eggs, they want cheap gaz. Because that’s what woke Biden told em to want. /s
And they’re huge, huge eggs you wouldn’t believe it.
The likes we’ve never seen before… And probably won’t again… 😅
Makes these old images of Biden raising gas prices funnier to dig back up. Omg $3! When some places now are pushing $6.

Guy who doesn’t pay for his own gas doesn’t care about gas prices. More at 11.
If the president gets shot, then let him get shot.
Yeah. The morons he had to appease already gave him a 2nd term.
The original Reuters article instead of this dumpster fire of a source. (Canned explanation whenever I’m not so lazy.)
Also, the IB Times (as usual for this piece of shit outlet) is citing a quote from over a month ago as if it’s new news.
How in touch he always seems with the common man. Just remarkable.
And so many of these “common men” still seem to really believe that no matter what he actually says or does, all that matters is that he talks like the person they imagine him to be, which they believe means he unequivocally understands and cares about them and can do no wrong. He really does love the poorly educated, and you can see why.
The reality distortion field Trump supporters seem to be trapped in is rapidly approaching the strength of a black hole. I’m not sure what happens when it all collapses and they all fall into the event horizon but I’ll certainly be glad if they can’t escape and we never have to hear from most of them ever again.
Would you expect any less from the man who invented the word “groceries”?
Let them eat cake!
“let them
eat cakeuse diesel”Diesel is more expensive in the US.
Cake is more expensive than bread
And American industry has enshitified, so any cake we make tastes terrible. Most things taste terrible now, even our vegetables have become flavorless.
and some breads in the US qualify as cakes due to unnecessarily high sugar content
* most bread. I was horrified last time I visited. Even what was supposed to be whole grain bread was just dyed light “bread”
“ethel, get them damn kids hitched up to the truck! they pull slow and we gonna be late!”
Trump to the world: “Fuck you all, no one is stopping me from doing anything so I will keep getting more extreme until we find a breaking point.”
its fine-- when he dies we sue his estate and Jared Kushner and take back everything he took with interest, and we toss his criminal enterprise kids in jail.
Marie Antoinette wants her sentiment back
(Yes I know it’s apocryphal don’t @ me)
If they rise, they rise. Just makes solar an even more fucking obvious choice.
110% my next car will be an EV.
That’s really funny. My electricity prices have basically tripled over the past two or three years and my use hasn’t changed.
With the push towards AI data centers that seem to have coats pushed to the average homeowner, I do not think an EV will be the most cost effective option, at least in “car” form.
Maybe an electric bike or scooter would be more cost effective
I feel you… I went full electric and despite having solar I’m at about 300€ monthly. And that’s on top of the cost of solar and the production I get from the panels. The less we take on the grid the more expensive it is. Now we pay to inject our production when we don’t auto consume it. So all in all it’s always about paying more.
But at least we are not fucking up the air anymore which was the initial idea.
I know the prices vary by state and municipality but even with a 300% increase you might still save money overall with reduced maintenance and cost-per-mile. Filling up my tank with gas is ~$42 right now and with an equivalent EV it would cost ~$12 to fully charge (if it was 0-100%).
While my current use case for a car would not allow me to purchase an electric vehicle, my future case would. However, I am planning to wait for solid state vehicles. I don’t like how prone to thermal runaway lithium batteries are in their current state. That, and I don’t like the trend towards bigger and heavier vehicles.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy to own a large diesel truck for when I need a truck, but it feels like such a waste as a daily personal commuter vehicle. Most of the time, it’s literally me and my spouse. Sometimes we have groceries, sometimes luggage. It’s such a waste of space and energy to be transporting an extra 3000 lbs around
Hybrid vehicles are still an option.
