We've had that same question at work, we have employees who want to know if we're changing the reimbursement rate. Basically what they've been told is rent a car instead, which doesn't really work for employees in very rural areas that have to drive a long way to get anywhere.

McRib is in our most fuel efficient vehicle and is subsidizing her business travel between the two hospitals she works in. The "DC" in Washington, DC must stand for "Doesn't Comprehend".

gas is up to $4.49 here this morning

It jumped over the $5.00 mark in Norfolk yesterday at one place to $5.09 most are still under that but I expect that will change pretty quick once the contracted gallons in their tank run out and they buy on the new contract .

Wow, that looks like such a friendly, modern establishment.

We can all move into the cities and use electric mass transportation. Where the food will come from?

A nutritional goo made from old people, conservatives, and aborted fetuses?

Soylent Blue?

That’s way better than the two separate words I was going to use for our esteemed congressmen and women in Washington

That the new term for gas that has doubled?

 

[McDad]

Up until now, I've considered the stickers to be acts of vandalism. According to that notice, the owner of the station wants the stickers. I cannot imagine all gas station owners share his thoughts on it.

Agreed. When he saw the upper portion of the Statue of Liberty on the beach, AMAZING.

the grocery store silly.

I can't believe the sheep that try and move blame away from Biden for the high prices. This is exactly what he and his administration wants. They campaigned on it. Every move he's made are moves he promoted. The ones that don't think Biden shares blame for this underestimated what his policies were going to do to prices.

The rise in fuel prices isn't completely Biden's fault, the most fault lies with the governors and foreign heads of state that shuttered their economies in 2020-2021. Remember when the price per barrel went into the negative because we were out of storage? The people in charge then should have seen what would come of that and adjusted the rules and regulations accordingly.

In most areas of the country when an oil company shuts off a well they have to cap it permanently. They just can't turn it off and when demand rises turn it back on, it's an expensive proposition to open a closed well so why would they in this political environment? Also why would the refiners invest in expanded capacity, that is another expensive and time consuming proposition.

You'd be the one to recognize that.

I never meant to imply that this was all Biden's fault. My point was the destruction of the oil industry was his/their goal. They ran on it, they accepted applause for it in their debates. Anyone that is naive enough to not see the ramifications of that policy deserves what they get. Unfortunately we all suffer for their ignorance.

Biden's blame starts where instead of trying to soften the blow, he throws gasoline on it. To be honest I think privately they love it. Their radical base loves it. AOC loves it. I've had several conversations with people that think this will solve our greenhouse gas problems because it will push people to electric vehicles. When I tell them that we generate most of our electricity with fossil fuels they either don't want to hear it or don't care. I don't think this is going to end the way they want.

Very true, Biden and Co have done nothing but compound the problems and use it to force their agenda of dependence on the middle class. And let's stop fooling ourselves, making the middle class dependent is their agenda. A strong middle class that has no dependence on the federal government is the Dems worst nightmare.
