Gas prices are really starting to piss me off. Anyone else feel the same?

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes, I'm not happy with it either 😡

Disagree. I'm content with the current state of things 😃

1) They were higher under Biden and the Democrats. They averaged over $4 a gallon at their highest then. Now they are averaging $3.73.

2) I would gladly pay a few more dollars for gas temporarily to help the effort to defeat Iran and prevent them from nuking my country and potentially turning the entire world into a ball of flames with nuclear war. My ancestors and previous generations sacrificed far more than that to eliminate evil protect their freedom. It is the absolute least I can do. I'm not an ungrateful whiner and I don't hate my own country so I am not going to help out a country that has chants "Death to America" and murdered thousands of our citizens by whining about gas prices to make them think we are weak little whiners about stupid things like that so that they don't surrender. By pushing this crap you just prolong the war and give them hope that Americans are weak little snot nosed kids who will give in.

This is what the message should be from ALL AMERICANS

"I would gladly pay a few more dollars for gas temporarily to help the effort to defeat Iran and prevent them from nuking my country and potentially turning the entire world into a ball of flames with nuclear war."

Do you really believe we were on a collision course with Iran, to redo the Cuban Missile Crisis, "but this time, it's Isis", if we didn't attack first? I've been hearing about the threat of nuclear Armageddon from the Middle East basically my entire life. 2/3 of times we went to war with them, over the threat of WMD, turned out to be "bad intel" or "a government-level espionage project", so what makes this time different? As I understand it, no President before Trump ever attempted to take the Strait of Hormuz, because apparently it is political su*cide and all roads lead to hell for the economy. If that's the case, I hope hell has a sabatical or we are f*cked!

Also, because we have to pretend to be the "world's police, fighting abroad to protect America's interests", we have to engage in this farce of "decorum" or "political posturing". It's all about the optics of not being the "bad guy". If we just straight-up said, "hey, so, we're going to invade you, because you have oil and we want it. Make this easy on both of us and just... give it to us", that would look like bullying and an invasion. Which it is, but, like... we're the United States, so "who cares?" I mean, what are you gonna do? Reply with a strongly-worded letter of disapproval?

Am I saying "might makes right"? No, I'm saying the United States believes that might makes right. Not with words, but with actions and policies.

"Do you really believe we were on a collision course with Iran"

I believe the entire world is on a collision course with Iran. They have been openly promoting "Death to America" for decades and actively attempting to obtain nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them to our country. They openly admitted and bragged in a negotiation before the military operation started that they had enriched enough uranium to make about a dozen nuclear weapons and intended to do so in a very short period of time so that they cannot be stopped. Only a moron would allow them to obtain that capability and just keep stalling while they advanced their plan until it was too late.

A moron such as B. Hussein Obama who gave them billions of dollars in cash of American taxpayers' money, secretly flown into Iran special delivery on planes in the dark of night, that they then used to murder Americans and accelerate their nuclear production for example.

We get very little of our oil from the middle east these days. The prices are pure scalping. It has nothing whatsoever to do with "supply and demand".

I live in Louisiana, an Oil producing state, and our Gas prices are as high as anywhere else except California, and that's only because California taxes the hell out of Gasoline.

[Kelley1]

I don't care what the price of gas is. I drive 3,000 miles a year, mostly driving to and from college. At an average of 30 MPG, that is 100 gallons, or $500 per year, if gas is $5 per gallon. Compared to approximately $25,000 a year for college, that is insignificant. Even at $20 per gallon that is only $2,000 per year. That is less then 10% of what a year in college cost. I would be be aware of the price increase, but nothing to worry about.

[Anonymous]

Theyre slowly coming down in price here. I only get petrol on discount days so 16c off a L. It's annoying but there's not much we as civilians can do about it

[exitseven]

We had it worse when Biden was president and it was done on purpose to force people to buy electric cars. At least President Trump is keeping nuclear weapons away from a country full of psycho terrorists. Long after people forget about paying another buck a gallon for gas America will still be safe.

[888theGreat]

It will be worse with Trump , It could be $6 Min by end of next week

[exitseven]

@888theGreat Or it could go down like it did a couple of weeks ago. There is no way to tell.

[smahala1991]

Luckily it's just a arm or a leg for gas, the other day I had to give a testicle up for a full tank of diesel 😂😂

[Kingofkings1992]

Sorry to hear that bro

[drummerdude25]

What I want to know is, what happened to “drill baby, drill”? 🤨

[ThaCuriousGuy007]

I live in NZ and although i dont drive a car it's still crazy how expensive petrol we call it is, and thats one reason why i wouldn't want to buy a car because it would cost me a fortune to fill it for sure

[Miristheiss]

Eh. A bit annoying.

Will not last forever.

[najekim]

We have so much of our oil exported that could stay home for our use. But we are tied to the global economy and. have to suffer. And we don't even use oil from Iran!

[ChicoFromThe305]

They somewhat dropped a bit where I'm at, still high but going downhill instead of up so that's good

[Staximus]

I’m not happy about it but I really don’t give a shit because I only have to drive 8 miles to work

[Staximus]

Gas is over $6 a gallon here now, up from $3.89

[msc545]

Maybe next time be more careful about who you vote for.

[Kingofkings1992]

I didn't vote buddy. I've never voted a single time in my entire lifetime lol

[Kingofkings1992]

Also, the president is not accountable for literally everything like some people seem to think lol

[AgentG111]

Less traffic, less A holes, less congestion, less smog, sounds excellent to me!

[Godihateyou]

Gas is like $3.50. you get the gas prices you vote for.

[jshm2]

Buy electric then, kiddo.

[Kingofkings1992]

Nah. Electric is for douchebags

[Anonymous]
