Our Governor is too. When it was pointed out Newsom was trying to give $400 per person the whiners said, “that’s only a couple tanks of gas”. When it was pointed out $400 represents all of the taxes on ~800 gallons of fuel, there were crickets.Quote:

So was Build a Wall official promise and policy for 4 years. How'd that end up? Anyway, Just heard a right wing radio host say that he didn't want the tax holiday because people would get angry when it was over. Grabbing at straws to throw shade.
Not a partisan issue....its reality.Quote:

Anyone think the prices on RV's and built out Sprinters is going to plummet if we have a year of this?

I saw something today that my eyes did not believe. A row of teslas at a high end mall in Phoenix, all plugged in, AC running, but no one in their cars.
We’re those fuckers just keeping their cars cool while they shopped? Anyone else seen such stupidity?

I saw them plugged in at the mall last winter with the heat running while it was snowing. I was a little jealous.
Where does all that free electricity come from?
I don't care.
What will go higher? Premium gas per gallon or mortgage APR?

The 2012 Tundra with the 5.7L hurts pretty bad right now.
Haaa...premium is already close to $7 in many locations. I don't see that for rates, but what do I know?Quote:

Not that I often remember to do this, but I use the Tesla app to put on the heat, defrost, and car seats going up the lift for the last run of the day. Or turning on the AC 10 minutes before I leave work in the Utah summer heat. It feels goddamn luxurious and yeah, I'm a bit smug when doing it.Quote:

$8.70/gallon in Bologna, Italy…

This isn’t the place for math muted, this is the place for schizophrenic bitching that gas prices are too high while ignoring substantive reasons for that and solutions to that.
oh, and showing you’ve never lived in a place that gets fucking cold where vehicles are left idling unoccupied.
