Last time gas prices jumped up to $5 a gallon, I bought a motorcycle. Found I really liked riding. This time around, I'm prepared if it goes there again. Unless it requires hauling something big, most things like a quick trip to the grocery store or dropping off bills, I take the motorcycle.
Turnipstein has done nothing to make affordability a reality. Like his business failures, the US consumer is seeing prices reach points that they are being forced to spend far more on essentials. This results in far less other items that would keep the economy afloat. It will likely take years if not a decade to repair the damage he's done to the government. As it is the government is not functioning on all cylinders after Elon's pass through followed by Turnipstein's screw ups.
BTW, where are all the Epstein files that were supposed to be turned over and have been managed to remain hidden? For someone who is right below Epstein in volume of mentioning it seems suspiciously blank for those released publicly.
Not a dime to go to Iran as compensation until they pay for all the damage their proxies have done.
