Gas prices

[johnr]

I was trying to come up with an estimate for what it will cost schools, emergency crews , state fleet and city / county crews per year on extra fuel prices but it's all broken down separately . Add them all up and it's a lot money.

Throw in some free school lunches for everyone, now think of the bills that we will be supporting.

Ethanol sucks! It's terrible on small engines, bad mileage on gasoline vehicles, attracks water, etc.
It's another program the government put together to give EVEN MORE HELP TO THE FARMERS!
(corn)!! How often does the govn. help the small mom & pop businesspeople--NONE!!

Dad and one of his buddies played around with E85 when it first started coming out. You want to talk about something that can F' Up carburetors and engines not designed for E85, WOW. Had a 1932 John Deere D that went from running great to dog snot till we flushed EVERYTHING including the tank then back to tuning carb and magneto

The ones laughing and defending this reckless mess we have on our hands must not be able to see the whole equation. We are being played like a fiddle and the business man flat out says that he doesn't care about American's financial situation. His war department is a family orientated get rich quick scheme based on Iran's weapons of mass destruction that don't exist
Throw in the fact that this new COL will be the turning point for a % of people who have barely been making it from paycheck to paycheck. They will get on the system and be a liability rather than an asset.

Both stations at the middle exit of Valley City must've gotten deliveries between 2:00 and 4:00 yesterday afternoon. Both shot up 30 cents sometime between there. They certainly didn't both jump just to make more money.

Gottt damn I'd love to see your definition of a mess when bidum and his crooked cronies were in control. That nightmare just always conveniently gets kept under the vest though.. Queue the old fiddler playing emoji.
Pretty sure trump isn't worried about this so-called getting rich quick scheme that you speak of
Watch out with the annual summer holiday gas price hikes coming, you'll swear the sky is really falling even more suppose.. Oof

If you find another way to fund the infrastructure we travel on, I’m all ears. The fact is we can’t be anti tax with everything and this is as close to a true user pay system as any tax we pay. Drive more = pay more. It’s not perfect, but actually likely should be raised as the federal Highway Trust Fund isn’t covering the costs of infrastructure upkeep. Why? The federal gas tax hasn’t increased since 1993. We’re deficit spending to cover the costs now. The system is really broken but like most services that come with taxes, everyone bitches when they are poor or go away, but still bitch about the tax beforehand.

Oh I'm fine with it but we are taxed for the gas, we are taxed for vehicles, we are taxed for property, which are all supposedly going to the same purpose. When is enough enough???

 

[Rut2much]

Ommmg the skies are falling ppl..

 

[shorthairsrus]

gas at sams 3.81 today. I paid .79 cents a gallon when i first drove --- it shot up to a buck and it was the end of the world. Anyway run inflation calculator on it its pretty close to what i paid today.

Its everything else that is so high.

It’s better than Biden that’s a pretty fucking low bar. Let’s just keep juggling those Israeli nuts and getting into these messes.

 

[Rut2much]

The longevity of Obama and Bidens high ass fuel prices make me think ppl just have super short memories while not even in times of war/conflict/terrorism retaliation..
Protecting the homefront; aka American civilization is something a true leader does at all costs, not invite millions of them through open borders for whole terms just for votes. Jfc

 

[Rut2much]

This new democratic party is all nothing but fake-ass illegal alien appeasers, apologists, and followers.. Thank God we have someone with the balls to be the complete opposite of all those concepts for the grandkids who may still get the chance to experience the same we all cherish.
I'll take that over a party who wants you to feel guilty for the color of your skin, privileged and ashamed of your past.

Ya fuck Biden and those high gas prices to I was bitching about them. It’s just I don’t agree with being Israeli bobo. I am America first. Trump had good people in place like Joe Kent who had all the intelligence and gone on record saying they didn’t have nuclear grade weapons but he decided to listen to the people on the Epstein files and the military industrial complex and get involved in some shit with no proof . Still waiting to see the wmd. Not being able to be critical and just blindly following is why we are in this position as a country. People are more worried about there team than doing what’s best. Fuck the democrats and uni party just so we are clear.

I am all for the tariffs and having fair trade shutting the border down. Deporting illegals most of the stuff trump has done is great but this was a mistake and until we stop making decades long mistake of trusting Israel the same shit keeps happening in the ME

And release the Epstein files

People don't remember because the media didn't talk about it everyday. Haven't hit Biden's peak yet, but ever since prices got back to where Biden left them all you hear is how "gas prices affect the price of everything else."
That is a true statement but was never reiterated during the previous term.

 

[Rut2much]

Bingooo! Smoke n mirrors by 7/8 of all this pathetic anti-american media but all we heard about during trumps 1st term was Russia russia Russia hoax so this shouldn't come as any kind of surprise whatsoever.
Might be in the beginning stages of needing readers I reckon but leave my memory alone please lord.

If the public were to demand less maybe. But we’re paying taxes and things still aren’t being kept up. It’s not a government problem. It’s an overall expectation of quality of life from society in general. Every government contract goes to a company who has employees that want to live well. And the costs all filter back to us. It’s that way with everything in America and we pay for it in everything we consume, drive upon, etc. Its why we outsource to shit countries, so we can spend less and maintain the quality of life we want. Not trying to be a commie here but at some point in time we’ve got to acknowledge it. Top dollar expectations don’t work on a bottom dollar budget. SD just let a bid to reconstruct one interstate exit. 78 million dollars. I’m not saying it’s out of line, I’m saying shit is expensive. But we’re fools if we think taxes will decrease when society expects more every day.

 

[Kurtr]

Smoke and mirrors is the Israeli specialty.

Who gives a shit what Biden Obama or bush did. How about we try and fix all the fucked up shit and move forward. The longer the elites keep everyone divided the stronger they get.

How about those Epstein files

With the dumb specs the dot uses they drive up costs for no net gain

Example One area uses 1b pea rock on the same road as the next area uses 1a . The 1b is produced twice as fast and cost half as much as the 1a . All that does is cost tax payers more for nothing the chip seal both wear the same.
