GOP Senate candidate on rising gas prices: ‘Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks’ - Lemmy.World

>Former NFL reporter Michele Tafoya acknowledged how “frustrating” and “hard” rising gas prices are for consumers during a Wednesday radio interview, but she suggested Americans should minimize some of their spending to support President Trump’s actions in the Middle East. >“I think right now at least just kind of keeping a stiff upper lip. Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further,” she told Tennessee’s KWAM radio host Todd Starnes.

if you can count it, it’s fewer. if you can’t, it’s less. e.g. i need less voltage and fewer capacitors for my project.

crazy how many people miss that.

Being illiterate is a prerequisite for being in the GOP.

not necessarily. I know far too many intelligent people who are hard-line conservatives. it’s just a lack of empathy, world experience, stubborn ignorance, or some combination of the above. Although, I do concede that the overwhelming majority of the populous that is uneducated is Republican and this is entirely my anecdotal perspective.
