Gas up to 5 bucks a gallon

[Inliytened1]

It's 5 bucks a gallon in the land of Lincoln. (State of IL). This hurts man.  End this fucking war!  I get that we don't want to get nuked but this is getting ridiculous.

Well gas priced in digital, and there is only one market for it. One way(war) or another prices has to go up because there is no way to pay the debt.

Neither party will fix this, because they are both full of modern monetary theorists who peddle the "deflation is bad" psyop, so any decrease in prices as seen as bad to them, they're perfectly fine with prices doubling and then when there's any sort of decline, they want to print and do bailouts so the speculators aren't forced to liquidate... God forbid we pop the asset bubbles that have formed from all this money printing that goes to the top 10% mostly.   The level of corruption thanks to policies such as quantitative easing is now through the roof, I can see why past civilizations were so focused on inflation and usury, because these same currency debasements and wealth concentration from bad policies continue to happen to this day.

My portfolio is still rising though. Where's the 200 dollars/barrel, where are all these bubbles that are promised to be popped? Still waiting

Serves you right. You voted for this shit, and if you couldn't see that coming, then more fool you.

If you convert UK prices to US, it is now $10 a gallon in the UK and most of Europe. So you have half as much to complain about. Thanks to idiots who voted their idol.

As of May 12, 2026, President Trump has proposed a temporary suspension of the 18.4 cents-per-gallon federal gas tax (24.4 cents for diesel) to relieve high prices exceeding $4.50/gallon following the Iran war. This proposal requires Congressional approval to take effect.
