Coming to America.

Commercial contract truck drivers can’t afford to fill up their tanks. They have a 3-day “strike” scheduled for October 1st, but they probably won’t be able to make it that long. Farmers are already going to leave their drought-stricken crops in the fields because it’s not worth it at 50-bushells an acre.

Mass starvation is already unavoidable.

We are in economic free-fall, and nobody sees the sudden stop up ahead.

He was told it was a bad idea to hit Iran, he didn’t listen.

Now they control the Straight of Horboz and Yemen has the Red Sea.

I knew this would not end well and said so. I can see November through my window and the Dems are going to have a field day.

I doubt that very much. The National Guard or the Army would step in first.

But you’re right about the diesel fuel price problem. Almost everything is affected by that price, one way or another.

The highest average price ever was back in 2022 when Biden was president. The 2026 average prices are perhaps a dime or so less. So it’s close.

Now here’s the thing. The average American voter doesn’t care that Biden still has the record. He does care about the pain he’s feeling today. The GOP leadership doesn’t seem to get that.

**Farmers are already going to leave their drought-stricken crops in the fields because it’s not worth it at 50-bushells an acre.**

Where, Cali? Here in south central TN it has been very dry since latter July, very wet for two months previous, leaving the soil very able to support a crop over 2/3 way to maturity. Most crops are mature here, and being harvested at record or near record BPA. I know because I’ve hauling corn and soybeans to the bins for a farmer. Corn so dry, practically no LP gas is being used to dry corn.

The midwest cornbelt has got a record corn crop I hear, soybeans probably as well. They have had more than ample rainfail.

But the fake news media is doing its job, as usual.

I don’t see farmers in Michigan doing that, we got adequate rain here.

A bit confused if you are talking about the US or Iran?
The crops overall in the US are good. Some tough areas in Kansas with wheat, but very good in the Midwest assuming the rain stops

Yes as the us poverty level drops to its lowest level in more than 50 years.

Keep in mind that as dumb as the interest rate hike was the govt could easily drop interest rates to grow the economy more.

The us can ban diesel exports to drop prices here even more while crushing our global competitors.

By the way we are the worlds largest seller of oil by far.

Stop with your pathetic cheerleading for americas enemies.
