Just asked my wife a question.

[multigraincracker]

I’ll tell you her question and then ask you it.
Would you be ok with paying six dollars a gallon for gas for the next few months if it would end it for tfg and most Publicans for years to come.
Her answer was “Hell yes, I’d pay $85.”
What’s your answer?

1. Anything to make it stop!!! Nt

[Whyisthisstillclose]

2. Since the grifting and stupidity will cost us all much more than that in the long run, i'm in!

[Jerry2144]

3. I don't get a vote. I drive an EV

And my wife a plug-in hybrid. High fuel prices will hurt us all by driving up costs for everything since transportation is a key element of our consumer society.

4. I'd guess those who COULD absorb it absolutely WOULD choose to do so. I worry about all the

people who literally are skipping meals and vital medications, giving up their pets, already facing foreclosure or eviction and having their cars repossessed NOW (and I am seeing the latter more and more)-

We are heading right through recession and far too close to depression. I had hoped never to see much that we are living through now. It is inconceivable to me that EVERYTHING has gone to hell in just over a year.

So, yeah. Paying more (a lot more) for gas might seem a reasonable sacrifice for us, but, damn if I want to see bread lines stretching for blocks around the few private food banks still able to operate and the hopelessness that precedes a massive increase in suicides. And THAT is the truth of what we may well face. Scary? Damned right. I'm scared too.

12. Re-read

Steinbeckl's prize winning novel for a taste of what is coming: Grapes of Wrath.......

The day to day plight for survival by the people in all the "HooverVilles" across the nation in the great Depression.....

14. Believe me. It is on my mind...

sigh...

5. the cost of chaos

Apocalypse as an Economics Text?

"see you don't hurt the oil" revelation 6:6

[Scrivener7]

7. Definitely.

[LuckyCharms]

8. Yep! n/t

[BeneteauBum]

9. We may have no choice

We’ll see how long the idiot prolongs the war. From what I’ve read, Iran was prepared for this eventuality and it may be months if not years before fuel prices come down. Until this is over and uncountable lives are lost, we are stuck with the orange creature for the next thirty months or so…..unless Orrex’s wish comes true sooner than later.

We need to rule the midterms!

11. High prices are the nail he put in his

Own coffin.
I think he will soon be dragging every maga with him.

[BeneteauBum]

18. I hope so

It’s tough dealing with this BS day to day.
Please get out this Saturday and make your voice heard.

Peace ☮️

10. When I read the title "Just asked my wife a question," I thought "Dear God, what did he ask?!"

But, it was a only a question about the price of gas. Well played, sir. Well played.

[mwmisses4289]

13. No.

It is already close to that in some states, already affecting those least able to afford it. I'm lucky, I live in a state where gas is still under 4 dollars a gallon, depending on where you go, and diesel is almost 5.50, again depending on where you go, but it is still a major stressor on our budget. While I won't hold my breath, I would rather see it impeached and convicted to be removed from the white house.

15. I live a short walk from Kroger

My CVS, a tex-mex restaurant and an Arby's.
I can park my car. The weather is getting nice.
There's a Thai carry-out up there too .

[Nigrum Cattus]

16. Here in Cali it's already $5.50 so, yeah

Diesel is sadly $7.00
everyone will be paying more for the veggies/food
the repugs are completely out of touch with regular people

[multigraincracker]

19. I can't see it ending.

He’d have to bring the troops open and have oil shipping back to where it was. Ain’t gonna happen.

17. I'm with your wife n/t
