JD Vance gloats that allies are 'suffering more than US' from high gas prices - Lemmy.zip

The worst and most stupid bit is this: Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.” He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.” Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.

Judging from the stock markets, he is right. Swedish industry stocks are down 10-15% the last month. Without steady oil, it will be a big problem for those companies i guess.
