I'm stating that I don't have sympathy for people complaining about gas prices when they've chosen a lifestyle that seems to be dependent on a commodity that rises and falls on the back of complex geopolitical scenarios.

Your posts have made me no longer have sympathy for retards.

Look, I get that you're playing the role of the intelligent, childless contrarian who just "gets it" more than all of the other dummies on here, but you really need to get out of your own bubble and take a look at how our American economy works and the various jobs required to keep the machine going. Not everyone in our country can just up and move to rent some apartment close to work or simply change jobs so they don't have to drive. The USA is a lot bigger than you, your wife, and your dog.

Plus, you do realize that high gas prices and inflation affect every single segment of our supply chain? You will 100% have higher rent when your lease is up if your landlord has to pay more for repairs and/or taxes due to increased property values. YOU will eat that, not the property owner.

I'm not playing any role. I'm stating my opinion.

And yeah, I know fuel prices have a far reaching effect on the economy.

If I have any gripe here this morning, it's with people blaming a single person for situations so complex economists with years of experience don't routinely reach a consensus on the cause.

I didn't vote for Biden, and I wish he wasn't the president. But it's so frustrating to see people get upset about a single facet of life and blame it on the president. Whether that's Obama, Trump, or Biden is irrelevant. One man is rarely to blame, yet most of the country wants to pin it on a single person.

It's lazy.

What about when that one person is solely responsible due to the EOs he signed when he came into office. Biden himself could end all this today. Just reverse those EOs. Back to new leases on fed land and open the pipeline like a magic wand

It’s his administration and the Democratic Party.

Good luck heating your house in the winter with a windmill.

We’d just tell you to move.

Here too in South Alabama

3.79? Is this without Ethanol?

No more mean and insensitive tweets though.

You are astoundingly naïve -- and I'm being incredibly kind in phrasing it that way.

Gas prices do not just affect the price of putting fuel in one's car. It's not a mere matter of "prioritizing" as you put it.

Gas prices will affect the cost of everything: groceries, heating/cooling, medicine, medical care, clothing, school supplies, travel, home construction, every single good you need or use will go up. Explain how moving closer to one's job addresses that. We all want to know.

So is it just a matter of "prioritizing" when a dozen eggs costs $6, $7 or $8? I suppose you would say one could choose to forego buying eggs, then what? Raising chickens? Great, the cost of animal feed necessary for that endeavor is about to sky rocket, too.

You need to prioritize a reality check for yourself.
