I actually just want permanently higher gas prices like in Europe to facilitate the move to EVs. The US needs to break the addiction to oil.

A lot of people will be even poorer increasing the price of gas in Europe, most working class people cant switch to an EV just because,my family (myself included, but now i live in a big city where i dont need a car anymore) purchase usually 15+ year old cars, and there is no decent public transportation in that zone. I know you just want easy upvotes saying stupid things like that, but really, viewpoints like that are harmful towards the working class, if you want to facilitate the move towards EVs what you need is cheaper EVs, and tbh, fuck that bullshit and instead push toward better public transportation in rural areas instead of keeping the push in personal vehicles that are as wasteful.

"I did that" sticker people in shambles
Don't forget about the recent pricing collusion reporting.
The higher prices were the result of collusion with OPEC by American oil producers.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if those decals were intentionally created by conservative groups in the know.
We should resurrect those...to trigger all the magasnowflakes.
I saw one of those on a pump after prices went down (as they tend to do), and actually did lol. One of the redhatters had not gotten to it yet. I suspect at least a few of them realized the irony.
It’s like when they refused to pass their own immigration bill because they’d rather campaign on the issue than fix the problem.
“Bah– god! Here’s Biden with a steel chair!”
Republicans are outraged at anything Biden does. This isn't new.
Yeah it started back in 2008 with Obama winning. GOP does nothing but oppose anything "libs" do.

That's because Republicans care about the Working Class! Didn't Red States pass Laws preventing Heat Protections and Water Breaks?
This is interesting. In my town there are stickers on the gas pumps of Joe Bidens face and they say "I did this". So I figured it was his fault /s
Am i the only one who is outraged that the gas cap in this photo is not placed on its dedicated holder?
I cannot count how many times I've put that on, and someone I'm with comments that they never knew it could do that. :)
Oh man now I'm kinda sad that my gas cap is just a flap that is pushed in by the nozzle and I can't go see if it actually had a cap holder the whole time :(
People actually use those? I mean, is the cap really so heavy that the little rubber cable won't hold it? I say dangle free, my man!
Is there even a hair of validity to the argument that Biden’s “environmental polices” are leading to increased gasoline prices? The US is literally producing more gasoline than it uses, and oil imports are taxed federally at about 2¢.
Seems like most of the squeeze is from petro states, oil cartels, and corporations that want to price gouge.
Well yeah, that's usually their move in an election year. They're mad because they're not the ones doing it.
I remember when Republicans had no problem sending out tax rebate checks we couldn't afford with GWB's signature on them, so this is a bit less disgraceful by comparison.
its that awful trend of modern journalism where they just quote literally one word.
and the word is never "cunt". It's like people are afraid to say that one.
