How fricked up is your budget if $80 / month makes or breaks you?

Take the time to include the added costs for insurance, groceries, utilities, streaming, etc and then tell that family they are terrible with budgeting

What is "amazing" about it? It's got clean restrooms, fine. But the rest is a bunch of crap you can buy elsewhere and decent gas station food. The clientele resembles that of a rural Walmart.
They also ruin the brisket by putting their sauce on it first. That's immediate Sonic time for me.

I wouldn’t say it’s cult-like, but the stores are pretty amazing.


People who don’t live in a place like La, with shitty service at every stop, can’t understand why we’d like a place that’s clean and friendly. The coast folk are in a bubble.

THANK YOU JOE BIDEN!

Does Joe really want to get re-elected? He can ease up on the oil and gas industry tomorrow and have gas prices come down soon thereafter, but he refuses to do it for us.

He can close the southern border immediately and stop the illegals from invading our country and costing taxpayers millions of dollars, but he doesn't.

He can call out the crooked left-leaning DA's and Judges around the country who go easy on criminals but hard on regular law abiding citizens, but he doesn't.

See the pattern? The Democrats want to bring this once great country down to the same level as the shithole countries that the illegals are fleeing from.

Americans can vote Democrat in November, but we shoudn't!

VOTE FOR TRUMP IN 2024....DO IT FOR THE U.S.A.

TLDR: Many corporations are using inflation as an excuse to raise prices and profit margins on a record level.

It started off almost purely political inflation, but now it's both dumbass financial politics and corps taking advantage.

Republicans could push for a law that punishes anyone found employing an illegal immigrant 15k a day, but they don't.

The uptick has helped make inflation stickier than expected in the first quarter and weighed on Americans’ outlook on a largely robust U.S. economy.
dont worry. the next report will get rid of those pesky gas prices from the data to make it look better

Because of Joe Bidens war on fossil fuels. Hopefully Trump wins and reverses that.

I also want Trump to bring the pain to EV manufactures. 1000 mile battery and 1 hour charging with 120v.

EV makers should do it for the children. Think of the children. We must do this to save the earth.

I would also appreciate it if Trump would require all ICE engines to have at least 500hp.

Both should happen. But neither side, and neither a Biden Administration or a Trump Administration, will advocate for both.

One thing at a time, my fellow poster. We have to stop the bleeding first and foremost. We know that Democrats are unwilling to stop the illegals so we have to vote Republican across the ballot everytime there is an election.
Eliminate the Democrats and we have our country back!

Increase gasoline prices, a month before the election they'll drop drastically and Retard Biden will claim he did it and the idiots will vote for him again.

Budgets are made to be stuck too. I make $400k+/year and live a very simple lifestyle. I still have a budget I trend against. Maybe you’re your own problem, not the government.

They running out of places to drill in west Texas accordingly to a big player ceo in the permian. Output won't be able to keep up with demand in coming years. Look for oil to hit $150 a bbl before end of 2025. It's one of the reasons companies are buying out other companies. Running out of places to drill. Buying up places to drill more wells.

or maybe its because pedo joe shut down all of our petroleum industry through lawfare, then emptied out the SPR trying to keep prices down last year so now we are desperate and must pay any price for our imported oil and if we go to war and need the SPR, we fricked
