Here in SoCal regular gas went from $4.03 last Tuesday to $4.09 last Thursday and now today $4.19. Chevron station across the street from my office and it’s getting kinda interesting to see just how far this is gonna go before Congress makes some changes.

When 60 - 70% of the truckers stay home. Higher food costs are a contributing factor as well.

Everything is in a political pressure cooker now.

“Everything is in a political pressure cooker now.”

That needs to happen for a few days. I just hope that they do it after I move my household goods from Ohio to Tennessee. Right after though. Seriously, someone needs to wake up the braindead liberals and RINOS that this problem is real, and that it can be resolved over time by telling the envoronazis to 'shut the heck up'.

It could have been prevented if the politicians had told the envoros that years ago, but I wouldn't expect that from the spineless elected wimps.

The last time I went food shopping last weekend...I was really taken aback by some of the raises in food prices. Some items by as much as a $1. Yikes. I don’t know how large families are coping. I have also noticed some fast food items have jumped up by 30-40 cents an item. The truckers who used to travel at 70-75mph here on the I-10 in the IE are now traveling at 55-60mph. Noticable difference on the interstate in my area.
