    You’re censoring regular words now, no longer just the curse words that might offend a puritanical corporation or your aging parents? smh

    If Americans cared half as much about dead civilians as they did gas prices we wouldn’t be in this mess.

      True, but no state cares about dead civilians. Not one.

      Iran was killing its civilians wholesale for protesting before the US invaded and covering up the reporting of it so numbers couldn’t be tabulated.

      My dude, I am a statesian and I’m gonna be honest, I don’t give a shit about the dead ones. They are dead. For them the struggle is over. They are free. I care about the alive ones. I’ve been picking up the pieces of capitalism and the military industrial complex, especially predatory loans and people naive about the tax structure of the country and helping them figure out how to not only protect themselves from undue taxation but give back to their communities at levels they are comfortable with,for so long I don’t want to admit. It’s thankless work but someone has to do it

        Except those dead ones had families that cared for them. Dead children that will no longer get an education and improve the world. Dead people who were in the workforce, delivery drivers, postal workers, cooks, nurses, teachers. I’m sure you’d care a whole lot more if you’re relative was sick, but there aren’t any doctors alive or even a functional hospital around, and you wouldn’t even be able to drown your sorrow at your local maccies is closed because it can’t get ingredients delivered.

        I get that it’s impossible to feel a personal sorrow for everyone who dies in a war, but you can at the very least emphasise with them.

          And who will spend the rest of their lives angry at those who killed their families.

          That is how you create future terrorists.

      Germany here, around 9$/gallon. I’m just glad I made the switch five years ago, currently the etron is sipping leftover electrons from the roof. Compared to something equivalent with a 300hp TDI, im paying 30% of the fuel costs. And the etron is an ultra thirsty luxobarge, any reasonable ev with the same power would be more like 20%.

      It depends on how close you are to the refineries and pipelines. What they’re listing is the average which includes the highest price in the country and the lowest price in the country.

        It really doesn’t matter how close the refineries you are. Salt lake City has two refineries within the city limits and our prices are still higher than some of the rural areas that I travel to. It makes no sense and any explanation I’ve received is pretty much just idiotic in my opinion most of it they’re saying that they produce the gas to sell to other places not just to here because they can get higher prices which again idiotic. But whatever it’s all just a racket no matter what.

          Oh yeah I forgot to add that cities tend to tag on extra taxes. That’s why it’s often more expensive to get the gas inside of a city and then it is in the suburbs or outlying counties.

      Probably not about being explicit, but more about not getting your accounts banned from everywhere.

          So we should just let the corpo sites like IG and YT be filled with corpo friendly propaganda? This seems like one of those “don’t hate the player, hate the game” situations
