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.

That’s what you get for voting Trump

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.

As an Indian I genuinely find it hard to believe you guys have such a clown for a president. How does a guy like that get into power? One for the history books.

Consider yourself lucky, OP.

It's now $6.12 a gallon here in the land of Reagan (State of CA), especially in LA County and the OC.

Trump and the Israeli lobby really did it this time!

Oh, believe me, and my parents, when we say that this is something that we've thought about for many years now.

Our country really has too many greedy people, too many stupid people, and way too many people brainwashed by the brain-rotting content from the right-wing media, TikTok, and all kinds of slopulism online and the rest of social media.

My parents, who were born in the 1940s, have said that Trump is by far the worst president our country has ever had. They've always been much smarter, much more well-educated, significantly more well-read, definitely more informed about the news and politics than most Americans. My dad's older brother, who is a lawyer and really follows politics, is truly dismayed and disgusted by Trumpism. So, that is really telling you how upsetting it has been for my family and for me.
