Inaccurate.
$30k truck $300 Suunto watch Don't smoke or drink 25 mpg
I'm doing ok.
In anglo Canada we have our own version of this that includes at least 1 oversized Canadian flag, at least 1 “FUCK 🍁 TRUDEAU” and 1 “FREEDOM” optionally also on flags or decals, something sloppily painted in white complaining about coronavirus mandates, and getting more common is something insulting Jagmeet Singh.
I work in a gas station, there is a MAGA regular who is constantly complaining about how broke she is, she buys 2 packs of unfiltered camels a day, that's $14.60 a pack, over $800 a month just for cigarettes cause she buys the most expensive packs in the store.
at those prices meth is cheaper.
At this point, I actually think the meth is more socially acceptable, too.
LOL! The MAGA idiots fail to realize healthcare costs are far worse than fuel prices.
Leave my beer and cigarettes alone.
I personally have pity for rank and file Republican voters.
They were simply easy marks our education system intentionally failed to teach critical thinking and reason to because obedient laborers don't need that, and were then spoonfed sensationalist lies that appealed to their fears and anxieties, the easiest avenues for indoctrination, for the last half century under the guise of being "news" for the private profit of private shareholders and to turn them into useful idiot dependable votes for those same private shareholders to effectively capture their regulators and government that was once meant to protect us from them.
As just one in an ocean of examples, Fox "News" has been telling these poor sad bastards that "man made climate change is a hoax for scientists to sell books!"
So what you're saying is, you don't hate the fools, you pity them.
Okay the 70k lifted truck is valid. But I don't think maga people are out there buying 100k watches
OK, substitute the NFTs and testosterone pills
Recently Trump was selling $100K gold watches; I'm assuming it was mostly maga folks who bought them
It was almost certainly a way to hide "donations" (bribes), from multimillionaires and billionaires, not random maga poor people
Not the people that can't afford gas, what the post is about. They don't have 100k to spend on a watch.
Yeah but they can't afford gas while Trump is selling expensive jewelry lol
And all this with the dirt cheap gas prices in the US. In comparison to Europe, gas in the US is nearly free...
Sorry to hijack your comment, but seeing that "my grandchildren are in my daughters' ovaries post" right above this one and your comment made me wonder:
Why is gas so damn cheap in the US while saying "healthcare is expensive" is a giant understatement.
Compared with Europe, where gas prices are regulated (and gas stations still seem to be doing just fine to the point that new ones keep popping up around where I live at an astounding rate) while it's the healthcare that is subsidised and made availiable to all.
How come? Why aren't gas companies in the US be as greedy as hospitals and pharma there? Why aren't European gas stations few and far between, continuing to barely hold on, fail and ultimately closeleaving Europe gasless?
In the EU, fuel is heavily taxed and most people drive smaller fuel efficient automobiles. The fuel prices in Europe never bothered me, but I start laughing at the Americans who complain about $4.00 a gallon and drive gas guzzlers carrying fucking air.
As an American: because gas has to compete. You can’t ask to go to the cheap hospital, they don’t even usually tell you the price before administering medicine. So hospitals charge what they’d like and that’s that. Gas prices are highly competitive and we’re one of the world’s primary oil producers and refiners. Additionally the Biden administration has been using our strategic oil reserves to stabilize gas prices.
Why did four people downvote this? It's the truth.
Hey now, beer and cigarettes are necessities.
That's not true.
I'd say more beer and more cigarettes are necessities.
I saw a lady apolozing to Trump for not donating because she had to pay her medical bills and was living in disability. So she was basically giving her disability check to Trump every month. 😖
If you'd see that in a movie it would be a weird comedy where someone's head spins around 360° for no reason so the viewer doesn't know anymore what to believe and what not.
Even if you drive a small car being forced to pay about 15% of your total income just to get to work is still fucking expensive. And no, public transport or bike isnt a suitable option for everyone.
And no, public transport or bike isnt a suitable option for everyone.
So we need to build infrastructure for it. And more electric cars charged with greener fuel sources.
There's only so much you can do with infrastructure to make up for the fact that most people want (for multiple good reasons) to live in suburbs.
IMHO we also need to clamp down HARD on landlords/HOAs. A big part of the reason I don't want to live in an apartment/condo is that there's a long list of rules I have to strictly obey. No political signs, no letting my cats outside, no string lights outside of Christmas season… Ridiculous.
I'm sorry, but the tagged name at the end is hilarious with the context of your comment. It's cracking me up.
" . . . and an RV and a garage full of boats and jet skis."
Oil Industry Guy When Gas Prices Go Up: "Oh no! It costs so much money to drive my big truck and cool my enormous house and afford business class airplane tickets and now I can't afford my Carnival Cruise to Florida! This is the fault of the Evil Communist Green Party Democrats! Only Republicans can fix it!"
Oil Industry Guy When Gas Prices Go Down: "Oh shit! Oh fuck! I'm unemployed, broke, foreclosed on, and drowning in debt! This is the fault of the Evil Communist Green Party Democrats! Only Republicans can fix it!"
Oil Industry Guy When It's Time To Form A Union: "Fuck you, you fucking socialists. I don't need the government to do anything for me. I can pull myself up by my own bootstraps!"
But during all those scenarios...RECORD PROFITS FOR OIL INDUSTRY
Amazing how that happens seemingly no matter what.
My neighbor bought a new 64K truck (I know because he constantly mentions the cost) had a lift kit installed for 15K (I know because he constantly mentions the cost) has four kids who are bullies (I know because I see and hear them), and constantly complains about gas prices and property taxes, despite the fact that he is one of two houses in the neighborhood with kids.
Most of property taxes go to fund the public schools, which his children attend. Basically the neighborhood is subsidizing his children's education, but he thinks he deserves to pay less in taxes. I explained this, and he told me I was full of shit, but I think he knew I was right, because he started revving his engine early in the morning the day after that and did it for like two weeks.
Hilariously, he stopped doing it not because I complained -- I'm up early anyway -- but because his wife came out in pajamas and started screaming at him for waking her up. Quite the metaphor for Republicanism.
I gotta get out of this neighborhood.
