I remember waiting in long lines at the gas station for gas with my grandfather growing up. We would cut our gas with homemade moonshine due to low supply. As a result, I used to be able to change a carburetor in a few minutes on the side of the road. I used to be able to rebuild one quickly in a pinch. We always had a spare in the trunk that was rebuilt and ready to throw in when they burned out. #Iran #Oil #TrumpTax #USPol

Trump official triggers uproar with astonishing admission: how the war hurts the pocketbooks of the American people is the Trump admin’s ‘last’ concern

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Oh crud. My garbage service is going to go up because of the dynamic fuel surcharge... Before the war, the fuel surcharge was an additional 19.2% fee of our monthly service charge. It's now at 32.1%, based on current diesel prices, with no price ceiling in sight.

So, if our bill was $100, the pre-war surcharge was an extra $19.20. It's now $32.10. They calculate it monthly.
