He’s lost his freaking mind. 25A needs to happen now.

    Someone at my office was so happy gas prices were falling. They had just raised gas prices by thirty cents in my area. 🤦

    Not supporting the orange moron by any means, but this article is incredibly badly written. He claims gas is down to $1.98, but the best the article can do is “drivers are UNLIKELY to find gas [at that price]” - capitalisation mine.

    Unlikely and unable are different things. If drivers are unlikely (and not unable), then that means some of them can, which means gas IS available at $1.98, therefore Fart is correct.

    Now if gas really isn’t $1.8 anywhere then the article can drop all the guff about averages and unlikeliness and simply state outright: no garages anywhere are selling gas at $1.98.

    Who gives a fuck what he thinks prices are when he’s trying to dismantle this country from the ground up.

    I don’t think I’ll ever see gas down to $1 ever again for the rest of my life. E-bikes (and well designed Euro cities) here I come!

    His cult will believe this because he said it. Without evidence, without ever seeing it. Everyone is saying it.

    I’m driving across the country. It’s about 2.70-3.50 in the Midwest. I’d say average is about 3.10ish.

    And I’m not saying the Midwest is necessarily going to have the cheapest gas, but the cheapest gas isn’t half the lowest you’ll pay in iowa.

        I pay more than twice that at the pump. A 50mpg used car is the cheapest way for me to get around since I don’t have access to a car plug where I rent :(

          Look up PlugShare. I travel around the country and charge for free at a lot of level 2 chargers. Level 2 chargers get around 15 miles per hour of charge, whereas a regular 120v plug gets you about 3miles per hour. It’s a trade for time, but doable if you have a few hours of doomscrolling or Netflixing. It’s not for everyone, but I’ve managed to cut my transit costs down significantly. Totally understandable if it doesn’t work for you, but I have some freedom in my schedule, work remote, and have internet, so I can sit at a charger for a few hours a few days a week.

    looks at Vance 25th Amendment. Anytime you’re ready.

    Yes I’d be cool with you taking the reins, that’s how dire the situation.

    He’s such a stupid cunt. Can’t fathom what low gas prices mean for the greater economy. No grasp whatsoever of macroeconomics.
