Even with my new pickup, I don't really drive all that much. It's been a couple of weeks since I filled it up. In that time, the price for a gallon around here has increased about 15¢ which is about $2 more to fill up my tank.
Re: Tuesday Thoughts and Themes...(PO)
It cracks me up to see folks who have two SUVs and a pickup truck bitch about the price of gasoline, and blame it all on Biden. What made them all magically believe the days of high gas prices were behind us permanently? Any world event can trigger these things nowadays, and between the pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine we have two such major events. The lie of course is that permitting more drilling would have solved it, as there are literally thousands of active leases that are NOT being drilled. And then blaming Biden for the ack of drilling, well… I know this sorta thing, propagated by the same rightwing networks (FOX, OAN, Alex Jones, etc) that have been propagating replacement theory, plays well among the moron contingent. But it is hampering any sort of usefu discussion/action in our halls of government.

Re: Tuesday Thoughts and Themes...(PO)
I only need to fill up twice a month as I don't do much driving either outside of to and from work...before this all started it was about $34-36 to fill up, depending on at what point I did so....i hadn't been as bad here as other places, with the price flip flopping between about $3.60 and $ 4.19 ( the most I ever paid until today...), today it was $4.49, cost me just under $50...sigh

The cheap place around here happens to be just a few blocks away, which is convenient. Yesterday it was $4.89, but I didn't buy any. A week ago it was $4.75 but I was only down to 1/2 tank.
Generally speaking prices here in the Pacific Northwest are higher than the national average, although "why" is a question I don't have an answer for.

Why do these liberal media keep talking about the victims’ race? This is a shooting like any other. They keep playing the race card, and they don’t even know what they’re talking about with “assault weapons”. There’s no such thing as a hate crime, it’s all crime. What about black-on-black crime? There were shootings in Chicago this weekend, why isn’t the liberal media talking about that? What about black-on-white crime? There’s far more of that; this Buffalo shooting doesn’t even begin to even it out. It’s all Biden’s fault anyway. He needs to stop hoarding infant formula and sending it to the illegal immigrants and making real American babies starve.
That, folks, is a small amalgam of what’s flying around the rightwing sites right now.
