$4 a gallon again?? I'm on night shift driving across town and my paycheck is basically just going straight to the gas pump at this point, this is insane.
The headline says "highest since 2022" but conveniently leaves out that we hit five dollars a gallon just two years ago, which seems like important context for how bad things actually are right now.
"the highest since 2022" is doing a lot of heavy lifting when we were hitting $5+ just a couple years ago but sure, framing matters i guess
yeah this is rough. been avoiding filling up as much as I can but it catches up to you eventually.
Iran war? AP really burying the lede here, this is about Middle East tensions spiking oil prices and nobody's talking about what that actually means for us getting dragged into another conflict.
honestly thought we'd stay above 4 for longer than this, guess things calmed down more than I realized
Biden's policies killed domestic energy production and now we're paying the price, literally. This is what happens when you shut down pipelines on day one.
