Cause for celebration- I would like to see $10/gas. I walk and bike nearly everywhere.

Have you ever been to the midwest, pp? Have you ever visited rural America?
Do you understand that it is not possible for everyone to bike and walk everywhere?
Do you understand that the farmers that grow your food and raise your crops need fuel for their farm equipment?

You are just clueless.

They made dumb decisions about where to live. They chose to live in the middle of nowhere, rather than in a city with access to transit options or bike usage. Their making stupid choices about where they live and being dependent on gasoline in order to get to anywhere isn’t my problem. As for farmers, same question applies - why did they pick a farm out in the middle of nowhere? Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Blue-voting midwesterner here. Your comments are extremely ignorant and insulting. You really think everyone in America should pile into the coastal big cities? You can’t think of any reason for people to want/need to live elsewhere? Did you know that the entire midwest is not exactly the middle of nowhere? I live in Kansas City. Not exactly in the middle of nowhere. Yes, our public transit is severely lacking, and I would love to see that change. I’ve been involved in groups looking for solutions, but a practical solution for this city has simply not been found. But my entire life does not hinge on public transit or walkable stores. I do my best to reduce my carbon footprint.

Yes, I know people in the midwest who have to travel 30 miles to grocery shop. But they typically only have to go once every two weeks. They live quite sustainable lives otherwise, and I would love to see your carbon footprint compared to theirs.

I don’t think you understand how massive the carbon footprint is of a fat midwesterner living in a sfh

Even if they had the same sq ft but lived in a multi family in a walkable neighborhood, carbon footprint is massively smaller.

It'll be hilarious watching all you city dwellers and super urban livers cry uncle when food prices skyrocket. Fossil fuel prices significantly impact food prices because fossil fuels are used to make fertilizer. Cities in the US don't have the land to grow enough food for millions of people.

You are obviously not in the agricultural business lol.

Oh yes, please show me how all of those DC apartment dwellers are growing their own food and raising their own livestock, lol. It'll be interesting to see how you will explain they grow enough food in the winter with their puny vertical growers. Ha..

Already 4 bucks in some places here.

Yep. Just gassed up & it's over $4 for the cheap stuff. Winter's not over & the oil tank needs filling. That is going to hurt.

My mom just called — 4.20 in central PA.

She doesn’t mind it even on fixed income because she barely drives anywhere and if it gets too high, she can come stay with me, but when it hits 7/gallon in PA (hopefully), people are gonna start rioting like the eagles won the Super Bowl.

Yeah, but that's nothing compared to what's goijg to happen in Russia . It's also nothing compared to what Ukrainians are going through. We'll be fine. It sucks but we can handle it and North American producers will be stepping up their efforts big time because of the price increase.

I don’t care about Russia, I care about what happens here. There’s gonna be a lot of Americans who won’t be able to put food on the table because the rising cost in fuel is gonna trickle down to everything else

Yes. Most people who have trucks and suvs in pa don’t need them. PA is a state that could use a lot more ev’s

So after this crisis, Americans are gonna look more like French people?

Everyone is gonna lose a lot of weight?

Win-win!

It’ll be a miracle is gas is ONLY $7 by summer.

But even that will be enough to sink most dems in the midterms. People - normal people - see that dems WANT high gas prices. You can read the posts right here!


Please libs - keep this up. We’re counting on you!

Don't know what to tell you. Our choices are to preemptively surrender or to have slightly higher gas prices.

If all you care about is the US economy then let me tell you a secret. The main beneficiaries of this mess will be North American farmers, oil and gas producers, and potash mines along with Australian miners.

Dp- also WE don’t get to surrender. That’s for Ukraine to decide. It’s wise to support them, and immoral to abandon them.

Even if they had the same sq ft but lived in a multi family in a walkable neighborhood, carbon footprint is massively smaller.

It'll be hilarious watching all you city dwellers and super urban livers cry uncle when food prices skyrocket. Fossil fuel prices significantly impact food prices because fossil fuels are used to make fertilizer. Cities in the US don't have the land to grow enough food for millions of people.

You won't hear much on this board until the price of makeup and yoga pants triples. Then you'll hear screams and shouts.

lol, the upper middle class will just buy fewer yoga pants and less makeup. That's what smart people do when faced with rising costs for discretionary purchases.

Typical elitist response.

Most poor people can’t afford a Tesla. I’m her again liberals don’t care about the poor and never did
