Sheryl WeikalNot that the price of gas isn't important, but I do find it utterly depressing that CNN's website has a constant ticker showing how the Iran War has increased the price of gas and not the number of people killed or wounded.
@theleftistlawyer it’s all a big oil U.S. administration Israel terrorist attack on a foreign country all to destabilize the area.

Amen! I live mostly on SS and absolutely understand from experience the impact of every extra dime we pay — but I too hate to see constant references to “the economy” instead of our political & moral failures being cited as the cause of stress, anxiety & angst in our life. How many tankfuls of gas or how many bags of groceries equates to one deported family, one grieving military family, one innocent life lost in the Middle East, or claimed by ICE?
AdamI'm sure they'll have a ticker for the number of killed and wounded as soon as Kalshi offers bets on the body count

Im just waiting to see how bad/shitty it gets when the right-wing finalize their deal to buy Warner Brothers which includes CNN. 😥

Bradley C. WilliamsI totally agree.
I'm getting really sick, like physically sick, of the amount of things I am seeing that all boil down to the price of fuel.
Especially in a culture that is as obsessed with cars as Australia is.
"Oh my god! There's a war! Now it's going to cost me an extra five bucks to fill my massive for no reason, emotional support vehicle/penis extension and drive around for hours projecting my status to others!"
"People are actually dying."
"Yeah, well, they're not me so who cares. But the fuel prices! Oh! The humanity! Something must be done! Wait, can we kill two birds with one stone and just start using people as fuel? If this carries on I might have to consider walking the five hundred yards to the store!"
Antke Meintema@theleftistlawyer perhaps it is a better way to make Trump stop it?
LukefromDC@theleftistlawyer That's what middle class TV viewers care about, NOT someone else's kids getting butchered. How many middle class TV addicts have a family member either in the military OR living in Iran or Palestine?
They all buy gas...
obscurestar@theleftistlawyer And that's why the right claims CNN is 'Liberal Media'. They're showing the one metric that the selfish narcissistic sociopaths on the right MIGHT care about. Their own person comfort. You think Trump voters give a flying f*** about how many people have to die if it means they get theirs.
DaNoob@theleftistlawyer A market for information.
Bebadefabo@theleftistlawyer capitalism does not give a shit about human life

Or even a ticker of the cost of all the exploded munitions to date.
