I'm glad I don't drive.

I sold my car for way above Blue Book value in December, saved $700+ a month on something I barely used, and don't have to worry about gas prices to fill it up. It's a good feeling.

Happy motoring.

That's true, but it doesn't effect me nearly as much as my friends in LA who have no choice but to drive everywhere and are paying $5-6 a gallon.

Higher food prices still aren't that big of a deal if your transportation costs are pretty much stable or lower. With WFH, most people are cooking and eating at home anyway. My food bill a month is more or less the same as pre-COVID, perhaps even higher, but my transportation costs are down, so I still come out ahead. I do get around by car, but as I said I am still WFH, so I'm not too worried. The people that drive everywhere are the ones that should be concerned, but quite frankly, it doesn't seem like anyone cares. Congestion is as bad as ever.

This is a problem that was created by the radical Democratic Party.

When Biden took office I was paying $2.05 a gallon.
Radicals kick in to block coal,natural gas and solar in favor or oil.

Shut down pipelines blame Russia and pay double and rising to fuel our country.


Freedom of travel constrained but not our spirits..............This lunacy shall be overcome in the midterm elections.

On the other hand, I'm paying for my gas with some of the $ 37,000 in profits on my Exxon stock.

Facts! Omg. Grid-lock galore. With the honking and the yelling and people stepping out of their cars to see what's going on.
