Biden Administration To Provide Grief Counselors At All Gas Pumps
The Babylon Bee ^ | June 10, 2022

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a move to help alleviate pain at the pump, the Biden Administration has announced a $1 billion initiative to provide grief and trauma counselors to stand by at all gas pumps across the nation.

The plan will fund licensed therapists and psychiatrists to stand at the ready at gas pumps from New York to California to comfort people mourning the loss of hundreds of dollars every time they fill up their tanks.

"There, there. It's gonna be OK," said one grief counselor as a woman filled up her VW at a gas pump in California. "Times like these can be difficult to cope with, but we can survive Putin's Price Hike if we look deep within ourselves for strength and guidance. Now, let's try some breathing exercises."

Another woman in Ohio burst into tears after paying over $3 for gas for the first time in her life.

"Shhh, shhh, it's OK, honey," said one therapist, stroking her hair. "You're going through the stages of grief. Soon, you'll learn to live with $10 gas. You literally won't even remember when gas was as cheap as it was during the Trump administration."

Where is Brandon going to get the money for the $1 billion initiative? Probably with a new gas tax.

Molotov Cocktails will be fewer in numbers, so that’s a positive for Joe.

Trump in 2020: 'If Biden' Becomes President, You'll Pay $7 For a Gallon of Gas By Michael W. Chapman | March 8, 2022 | 1:53pm EST

(CNS News.com) -- During a campaign stop on Nov. 2, 2020, then-President Donald Trump touted the low gasoline prices of the time and warned that if Joe Biden became president, Americans would end up paying $7, $8, even $9 a gallon.

Trump also said that, in response to those high gas prices, the Biden administration would tell people to get rid of their cars.

"It's an incredible thing that's happened over the last few years, a lot of great things," said Trump. "And you’re paying, what, $2 a gallon for your gasoline? That’s okay."

That’s a narrower spread than you usually see around here for Diesel. It’s been running a $1.00 to $1.25 over regular. Only 70 cents on that sign.

I could have used that today when I saw the prices at Walmart of all places! Two weeks ago it was $3.85 while the others were $4.35.

Now Walmart gas today was $4.45! Thought I was gonna die! But didn’t!

In 1970, you could get a six-pack of beer for $1 and 5 gallons of gas for a dollar.
Today beer costs $10 for a six-pack and you can get only about 2 gallons of gas, for that ten.

Probably because they don’t have any diesel ... you could put up any price if you don’t have any.
