A buddy sent me this:
I spent $95 on gas this week. He could’ve been planning to roll tanks through the house of reps and building gallows for traitors… I still wouldn’t care about Jan 6th. https://t.co/ATDBJEm88c

I can’t buy groceries for a family of four for under $175/week. Most weeks are creeping up on $200. I was buying the same stuff for $100 maybe $125 in 2020.
It costs me $65 to fill up a 13 gallon tank on a compact car. I’ve pretty much stopped driving my pickup because it’s too expensive to fill a 26 gallon tank at 13 mpg.
I don’t care if it’s Trump or DeSantis or whomever.
If a president can bring gas, milk, and chicken breast back under $1.79 per gallon or pound, he can appoint himself God Emperor of the United States and level DC into a parking lot for all I care.
The beauty of all this is doesnt just affect us deplorables.. stupid liberals are paying high prices too. This too shall pass….. someday
I reiterate myself once again, this is why we need to be able to steer asteroids.
“….level DC into a parking lot…”
Well, if that’s the best we can do, OK, then, we’ll take it, but what happened to the “smoking radioactive crater” concept ?
Because a parking lot would serve more purpose than the current ruling body.
Though I’m pretty sure a ham sandwich would win, too.
13 mpg in your truck? You’ve got a hemi right? I’m cranking out 17.6 in my 1500 hemi. You doing a lot of in town driving?
6.4 Hemi in a 2500 running 35 inch mud tires.
Ok, you’re getting pretty good mileage then… do you need the 2500? Or would a half ton work? You can get more fuel efficient ratios on 1500s. But sometimes you gotta have the bigger truck.
Heh. My wife talked me into buying a Dodge 3500 dually because she wanted us to get a fifth wheel RV and we wanted something that could haul one. So I bought it. Now I can’t afford the RV — or to buy diesel for the pickup. I think I’ve driven it 500 miles in six months. But the 8 foot bed is nice for hauling topsoil and lumber.
Bet you could sell it for a profit right now and downsize to a 1500 and get better mileage.
A friend of mine bought a $70,000 Ford diesel pickup less than 6 months ago. Lost his job, couldn’t afford the payments, so sold it back to the dealer for $90,000 last week. Used vehicle prices are insane. My little van blue booked at 4000 two years ago, now it blue books at $9500. Insane.
