Trump: “The price of gasoline? Nuts.” But the cost of fuel now accounts for 4% of the income of low-income families.
The surge in gasoline prices is disproportionately affecting low-income Americans. According to a Washington Post analysis, for households earning approximately $40,000 a year or less, fuel costs for commuting absorb an average of 4% of their income. For families in the top fourth of income earners, with earnings of $100,000 or more, the same costs amount to less than 1%.
The Washington Post calculated these figures by cross-referencing monthly gasoline prices released by the American Automobile Association with income census data and federal statistics on the distances different groups typically drive for work. Those with low incomes tend to live farther away, in areas poorly or not served by public transportation, and are more likely to drive older, less fuel-efficient vehicles.
Many of them do not have the opportunity to work from home, and when prices rise, they have few tools to limit the economic impact: reducing car use effectively means limiting commutes to work, medical visits, and family gatherings. President Donald Trump downplayed the economic impact of the war on Americans, stating that his priority is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. On Tuesday, referring to gasoline prices, he said: “They’re peanuts.” For experts, allocating 4% of income solely to gasoline can quickly derail an entire family budget.
The article Trump: “The price of gasoline? Peanuts.” But the cost of fuel now accounts for 4% of the income of poorer families comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.
The first fascist: the history of the French forerunner of Mussolini (and Trump)
Luzzatto, in his book dedicated to the forgotten figure of the French Antoine Manca, marquese di Morès (1858-1896), reopens a discussion that was particularly revived by the studies of Zeev Sternhell, who had identified in certain elements of late-nineteenth-century French political culture the core ideas that would later inspire Mussolini’s movement.
