sBut... but my egg prices!
https://piefed.world/c/politicalmemes/p/940812/but-but-my-egg-prices
Apparently I live in one of the highest gas price places in the world. We’re at $5 a gallon already. Do you want to update your meme? I can take a photo.
I’m 2 blocks away I’ll take the photo in 10 hours if you think anyone will care. Probably better photos on the news.
Laughs in italian gas prices: we are at 2€/lt.
1lt equals 3.78 gals. Do the math…
I’m so happy with my EV.
gilarelli€2/liter is $8.77/gallon.
We are built on car transportation. Some people I know drive 2 hours to get to work in vehicles that average 15 miles per gallon (6.38 kmpl). At 50¢/mile it would be a national emergency.
Miles O'BrienAs usual, I’m left wishing I had the money for an EV.
Yes, ideally I’d rather be able to use my bicycle and cargo trailer for shopping and public transit for work, but thats literally nonexistent.

ickplantThey need to be.
On one hand I’m fully against plastering shit all over the place for someone making minimum wage to be stuck cleaning that garbage off the pumps, but on the other hand in some moments I crave the pettiness.
Remember, the higher quality plastic coated stickers peel off intact. It’s the cheap shit that continues to tear and it’s hard to get off.
Metal scrubby brillo pad and some hot water with pine-sol. Takes about 10 mins. But also…what gas stations are you going to that makes their employees do that? I’ve worked plenty of gas station jobs, and not one has ever made me scrape stickers off a pump. Wash em down, sure, but that’s it.
But also, isn’t the power of spreading anti-trump propaganda a good thing (I call it propaganda cause I don’t know what else to call it) making it worth the little bit of the hassle?
Plus, I’d much rather take my time and scrape stickers off a pump than to deal with the idiotic customers. But that’s just me.
Good. Now gimme money.
oh_I find it amusing most people in the U.S. didn’t give a shit about anything Trump was doing until it raised gas prices for the big truck and SUVs they drive around.
Stop saying 30%, majority vote is majority vote. It’s statistically valid sampling. If within the sample (those that voted), majority voted one way, means the population leans that way.
JyekComplaining on social media does not count
Opposition to the war is at 53%, support is at 40% with the rest seemingly being ambivalent. . So 47% are fine with the war / don’t care, not a majority but still a concerningly large chunk of the population.
U.S. Military Action Against Iran: Over Half Of Voters Oppose It, 74% Oppose Sending Ground Troops Into Iran, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Vast Majority Expects The Conflict To Last Months Or More | Quinnipiac University Poll
"Voters are unenthusiastic about the air attack on Iran and there is overwhelming opposition to putting American troops on Iranian soil to fight a ground war," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.
Did you just sleep through the 2025 and 2026 elections (so far)?
You know, the ones where Donald is losing districts he won by double digits in 2024.
It’s pretty clear, objectively, that most people don’t like what Donald is doing and the gas prices have nothing to do with it. (at least until a few days ago) I’d argue it’s reflective of the fact that people didn’t necessarily want Donald, they wanted change, any change, from an abundantly shitty Biden presidency that left them significantly poorer.
No, but I saw many people in 2024 not vote. Because they didn’t care… so we got stuck again with Trump. I guess I am very cynical too as I grew up in the Midwest… the wins in 2025/26 are nice but democrats keep voting to fund the government for the GOP so nothing has changed since 2024 is how I see it. I can see for sure folks wanted a change but at the same time a few moments to look at Trump would tell you that he was not change.
CosmicTurtle0 [he/him]Problem is, this is 99% of people who just vote partisan regardless of team color. Your opinions are a matter of convenience and parroting whatever your algorithm told you to think on a given day.
We know this from the myriad justifications you gave for Joe Biden’s creepy public behavior touching women, and then the excuses you made for his genocide, and also your jokes about egg prices, as if food staples becoming cost-prohibitive isn’t a bad thing.
You’re still out here saying both sides are the same? Really?
Was Biden the perfect candidate? Clearly no. Was he a billion times better than the alternative, yes.
ByteJunkUnpopular point: the fact that he/Kamala/democrats lost reelection shows that he didn’t do enough. Bernie would have slaughtered Trump.
The “less evil than the alternative” card worked once, yet they failed to realise the urgency of actually doing shit that impacted people’s lives in any significant way, so here we are, preparing for Trump’s third term.
VlynJesus Christ, I will never understand how any of you think it’s clever and funny to joke about food staples becoming cost-prohibitive.
It explains why the people you elected tried to stop Mamdani.
No wonder you keep losing elections. You keep telling people whose votes you need that you’re pretty okay with their starvation.
They need to come to California. The lowest price I’ve seen in the last few days is $5.69 a gallon for regular, and $6.19 a gallon for premium.
DarkFutureHey look, dipshit conservatives directly affecting our wallets, again.
People are talking about gas prices hitting magats hard because of their vote. Know what’s hitting them harder? Diesel prices. Diesel for all of the coal rolling trucks. Diesel hit $5.50 a gallon here (for reference the now high for here gas prices are about $3.60).
Why, those price are almost Canadian.
Almost. 10% HIGHER and we can talk.
I mean depends where in Canada I guess but where I am it just hit 1.60 a liter, so thats like 6.20 or something a gallon… Thats a lot more than 10% higher. They haven’t even come within 10% of our normal prices yet.
