Gas Prices

USA

In just a few months it went up a dollar a gallon. Last time I filled up it was $4.19 and going up every day. Some of my little strip club excursion between the tolls and all that shit are expensive enough, this has got me having second thoughts. Might be time to fire up xvideos again.
California was over $5 in some spots last summer, it's probably over $6 now maybe even pushing $7. Combined with activism from these radical environmental types that hate cars, hate oil, make traffic as miserable as possible, just want us all to walk everywhere and live in tents plus what's going on in the world, driving could get pretty expensive this year. And on top of that God help you if you had to buy a car recently.
Is it affecting your strip clubbing at all or even just going out in general?

Possibly one of the few weird benefits of the pandemic is that a much larger percentage of the workforce is now equipped and able to work from home and save some gas money on their daily commute, but that's only helpful to certain types of workers. Right now, CA and HI have the highest prices:

The biggest effect will be on logistics and transportation, but that will affect us as well as those price increases typically get passed to the consumer.
Recent price increases haven’t made me change my ways though. And I drive a lot
It definitely fluctuates, but it's free, easy money that I get back on something I'm spending money on all the time anyway. I cash it out every December and use it for Christmas shopping. I just transfer the money to PayPal but they'll cut a check, put it on gift cards, and I think they might have the option to deposit it directly into a bank account at this point.
I also have a few referrals that use it pretty steadily and I get money whenever they do. If anyone here is interested, you can use my referral code and get 20 cents per gallon back the first time you use it:

To be clear, it's the folks that voted for trump that gave us Biden.
Prices are about greed

Also, I have a trip coming up later this month for a family tradition that will involve a total of around 450 miles of driving. Normally my parents, my brother, my sister and I all drive separately even though we all live within about 10 miles of each other and we will be going to the same places. We started talking over the weekend and if gas prices keep rising my parents are going to ride with my sister and my brother is going to ride with me to cut our total gas usage by more than half by using 2 cars instead of the 2 cars, 1 truck and 1 suv that we would normally have taken.
This is partly caused by bad government energy policy which restricts supplies but is primarily being caused by government money printing to cover deficit spending which then leads to inflation. In these situations, the government usually blames "greedy businessmen" to deflect the blame. Businessmen are no greedier now than previously. This same thing happened as recently as the seventies. They tried to deal with "greedy businessmen" then with price controls but that didn't work because that wasn't the root of the problem. They had to decrease the money supply and raise interest rates, which is what we will have to do. That will likely pop the stock market bubble and lead to a major recession. I've talked to long time strippers over the years who said the last recession in 2008 led to fewer customers in strip clubs so this is likely to happen again in the upcoming recession.
Pete Buttigieg this week: If gas prices are too high, just buy an electric car!
whoever didn't see this coming had their eyes closed.
Check recent history for highest gas prices during various president's terms.
Going back to jimmy carter's fake energy crisis, followed by clinton, nobama, and now biden, prices have always been highest when a D is in the white house.
U.S.—With oil imports from Russia banned and gas prices continuing to rise, many around the nation report really wishing we had our own oil we could dig up with big machines and then transport around with some sort of pipeline.
"If only we had oil, and knew how to get it," said one local mom as she shelled out $300 for gas to take her kids to soccer practice. "Then maybe we wouldn't have to buy it from evil regimes around the world and gas prices would be lower. I know that's ridiculous, but it sure would be nice if that were possible!"
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says he commiserates with people who are struggling right now. "I do have a solution though," he said. "If you all just plop down $90K on an electric car and another 3 million on building a windmill in your backyard, you won't have to deal with these gas costs. I am smart!"
Actually production in the USA rises with the price of oil, production is up and as long as oil prices remain high production will increase, that’s purely a function of the capital markets, that doesn’t mean that the government doesn’t have an effect on production there are policies that favor increases but, that would be an issue for intelligent thoughtful discussion, not this partisan nonsense that is batted around on this website like a beach ball at a wet t-shirt party.
Now, Secretary Buttcheck, who ignored the supply chain crisis, is telling Americans to buy electric cars. Doe mayor pete not understand that the supply chain crisis he has ignored has driven the auto supply so low that paying above MSRP has become the new normal?
This is beyond bizarre. How do we have a government that is so disconnected from reality, so out-of-touch with what normal Americans live with every day?
I would advise that people vote for new blood in November, and no professional politicians. I would advise that people vote for their neighbors, people with their shared experience; but the democrat party which caused this mess is filled with bartenders and homeless grifters being led around by the noses with Nancy and Chuck.
They are not disconnected – everything they do they know why they do it and they have an end-game – the lefties love gas-prices being sky-high, this works right into their plans of people wanting to give up on gas-cars at the first-chance they get – high-ass gas-prices gets them closer to their alternative-energy-utopia since sky-high gas-prices make alternative-energy prices less outrageous-looking - it's basically a way of forcing people to go electric no-matter-what.
So it’s not as if the lefties have-no-idea – quite the opposite – they know exactly what they are doing, and what is happening w/ conventional-energy is a good-thing in their eyes – the current administration is trying to force their will on the American people it’s just that b/c of our political-system they have to do it indirectly by getting the media to do their bidding, getting social media to silence free speech on their behalf, appointing radicals to key-positions so those radicals can implement their radical agendas, etc.
We need to stop this thinking that “they don’t understand” or “they don’t get it” or “they are just incompetent” – it’s none of this – for the most-part it’s done on *purpose* b/c they want to dismantle everything America has stood for and they want a new socialist-style/big-government-controlling-EVERYTHING type of society w/ them in power indefinitely and where the people answer to the government in every aspect of their lives instead of the government answering to the people.
The left is trying as hard as they can to make sure this doesn’t happen – that is why their big push for their election-legislation so they could take over the elections-process that they were unable to pass but will keep trying to pass or some version of it – and why they want to do away w/ the filibuster – they are also trying to disqualify conservatives from running in 2022 by trying to connect them to and smear them w/ January 6.
The left knows their agenda is not popular and why Brandon and Kamala have abysmal pole-ratings – but instead of changing course they double-down – and they don’t double-down b/c they’re stupid – IMO it’s b/c they feel they can rig future elections like they did in 2020 even more so now that they are in power.
A lot of people are thinking it’s a bygone conclusion Republicans will take over Congress in 2022 – I don’t think the left will let that happen just like they didn't allow for Trump to get reelected – we'll see what happens.
-Deficits don’t matter. The more government spends, the better the economy is.
- The vast majority of people are idiots and don’t know what’s best for them. They are better off when they obey the experts in government.
- The concept of a nation is outdated and dangerous. The faster we get to a world government, the better.
- The environment is sacred and more important than the people who live in it.
- Group identity is the best way to view people, not as individuals.
- Anyone who doesn’t accept the above is both stupid and evil. They must’ve defeated by any means for the good of humanity.
If you realize that the left takes the above as gospel ( literally ), then every move they make is sensible.
