The new virtual signal..

"I'd be willing to pay more for gas to punish Putin"

My response to these virtue signalers:

"Are you willing to pay more for your Iphone and Nikes and the host of other goods you get from China when we cut them off for killing off their own population (Uyghurs)? Shouldn't we cut China off for their crimes against humanity?"

Also..

"You good with paying higher prices for virtually everything you buy because it takes higher cost gasoline to get everything you buy manufactured and driven to the store, right?"

Also...

You know Vlad will just sell the gas he isn't selling to the USA to other countries, right?"

Did you not hear Psaki say that following your morals doesn't come without cost?

Those morals are subjective based on the day. China slave labor for shittily built products = good, Russia and their oil = bad.

How is it any different than the hundreds of dudes on this board who say they will (and do) pay more to buy non-Chinese products

It's the exact way the elites want you to think.

"I'll pay more for your goods to virtue signal"

More profits into their pockets.

I'm willing to have Biden voters pay for all the cost increases. Forcefully or willingly.

One is paying more by choice (choosing a non Chinese product)

The other is paying more because there is no alternative.

Any public figure that spouts of about being fine paying more for gas should have to pay for the rest of us that do not agree.

Okay all 81 million Biden voters stop virtue signaling and start putting your money where your mouth is. Go to the nearest gas station and give them $$$ to compensate. I’ll hold my breath.

As an expression of personal willingness, I don't see the difference.

As an expression of what you'd want to force on your neighbors, fair enough

But I don't think any of us blame the Russia invasion for the majority of the gas spike.

So before the war when gas was up a buck a gallon what was their excuse for being OK with that? OMB? Climate change?

Build keystone, drill baby drill, relax rules on fracking.

MAGA was trying to shift manufacturing to America and they fought him tooth and nai with phony charges and obstructionism. He tried to strengthen NATO by making members meet their obligations. He kept good relations with the Saudis.

Point is there would be no war. Gas would be $2 a gallon if an election wasn;t stolen. So this a-holes can all posture al they want but it means nothing. They are brainless morons.

If this was happening under Trump these same people would be going ballistic and foaming at the mouth.

That's how you know this is all virtue signaling BS.

The people who say that are so rich they don't sweat the price of gas.

If there was any doubt the DNC doesn't care about working class people in America this is just going to topple it right over the edge.

A paycheck to paycheck family in Albuquerque New Mexico doesn't have more money to give for a country they don't care about.

Delusional as frick

What if I were to tell you that you can punish Putin and still not pay higher rates at the pump?

One is done willingly, the other begrudgingly. No one who needs gas has a choice but to pay more. They’ll pay more if it hurts Putin or if it helps, because they need gas. It’s not a choice when there are no alternatives

Not this board, but the President called it Putins Price Hike so you can bet all the bleating sheep that repeat his messages do.
