Just thinking about fuel prices skyrocketing here

[bluestarone]

Can Joe, and his team, do anything about fuel stimulus money? I'm sure congress has to approve this right? This could get the RETHUGS on record for midterm elections?

1. I rather have him get the 22,000,000 tax returns sitting in the queues at the IRS be processed and

done w/, people would get their money this way too. We're still waiting on ours from last year!

2. Was pretty easy for me to cut out about 30% of my driving.

Try to plan a little on my going to town and time it right.

3. This

Lower consumption is a lever that has not been touched since President Carter. Heaven forbid we ask people to cut back or consolidate trips. If everyone cut back 30% it would be a huge benefit.

7. Being retired makes it easy for me, but

but if I was still working and got 3 others to carpool, it might even big bigger.

5. I agree...

It’s a fairly simple act that may have a direct impact on national fuel prices; and certainly a budget savings immediately to consumers.

However I wouldn’t expect participation by ‘The Freedom Caucus’ of voters who are mindlessly lapping DC to protest expired COVID mandates…

4. AND a temporary suspension of gas taxes... State and Federal.

6. Gas prices here are much more about greed than supply.

Falsely drive up prices claiming shortage in order to support arguments for more drilling leases here.

As Jen reminded reporters, there are thousands of oil and gas leases going undeveloped.

8. Bright side

On the bright side, hopefully this price increase will help with climate change. People will change peoples driving habits by carpooling (which we're very poor at) and lowering discretionary driving. And hopefully keep it that way.
