If these oil prices keep up, I'm going to have to sell my Bugatti and just walk everywhere

People I see on Facebook bitch the most about gasoline are also the same ones that own their own business and can write it off.

People who bitch the most about gasoline prices also generally don’t support universal healthcare.

The trump years/pandemic outed self employed people as some pretty awful/obnoxious people.

Yes, the fuel cost is a business expense.  However, at this point it doesn't appear bid prices are reflecting the increased fuel costs and other input price increases on projects.  With that being said, the increased fuel costs are affecting profit for most businesses.

i don't really get the poopoo'ing of gas prices (which have more than doubled over the last 18 months). 

i get people saying that the president doesn't really have a ton of control over it, but the fact that its risen that much in that timespan seems like something that's pretty significant.

They were artificially low because demand ground to a halt from a black swan event.   Also I’m sure those numbers In the graph are just direct costs not the indirect costs of fuel prices impacting other parts of consumer spending as a direct result of increased fuel costs.

it's too bad we've been consistently destroying our cities since the 1950s to make them more car-friendly

assume everyone here is 100% behind nuclear. sys being a wildcard that could have some way the eff out of left field with a take on it or be the most strident advocate, would not shock me either way. wyd sys?

[wetwillie]

Why can’t we build nuclear? Who is standing in the way?

[nicname]

Yeah, I think nuke is the clear choice for all non-browns.

Rich people who profit from fossil fuels. Also people scared of nuclear accidents.
