I wish.. I burned 345 gallons of diesel fuel last week. that 2 dollar a gallon bump is real money (so is 5 bucks by the way) can I aford it? yes. Do I want to pay it? no. Will I suddenly catch a case of TDS and vote democrat? also no.

can you say that repulicans will enjoy the same sopport they did in 2024? No, at least not turthfully.

5 bucks may not be much to you and I. But for some 20 bucks a month is a lot of money.

It’s a lot of money for anyone, everyone.

That’s money not earning interest. I’m 60. That money at 25 adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“I burned 345 gallons of diesel fuel last week.”

I suspect you are a trucker. As a businessperson, you would largely or totally pass the costs onto your customers.

If an employee, your employer and its customers would pay.

Since you are complaining, you probably own your own rig.

How long do you think diesel will be over $5?
