Gas over $4.00/gallon in California - for the cheapest gas.
Just returned from Louisiana where it was ≈ $2.65/gallon. May be more now.
Biden’s America.

Last December, I filled my tank for $1.87 per gallon.
And people think a majority of Americans voted for this...

A woman Biden supporter down the street has thank you signs in her yard.

Is she a work from home federal employee by chance?
The sheer ignorance of some people is beyond comprehension.
A former phb-ette of long ago in higher ed said she was striving to live totally green. No doubt she would be a kindred spirit with the fool on your street.
