A spokesperson at 76 confirmed to The Post Millennial that the gas pumps were reprogrammed to allocate for double-digit pricing.

Gas stations across the US are running out of fuel and in anticipation of an increase in gas prices, gas stations in the state of Washington are reportedly reprogramming pumps to include double-digit numbers in "price per gallon" as the current trend could put prices over $10.00.

At the 76 Gas Station in Auburn, Washington located at 1725 Auburn Way North, gas pumps have been reprogrammed to make room for double-digit pricing. In March, they still had single-digit programming.

A Spokesperson at 76 confirmed to The Post Millennial that the gas pumps were reprogrammed to allocate for double-digit pricing. Although not confirming that they are expecting prices to increase up to $10.00 or more, the current trend suggests the possibility.

Don’t need more digits.

Just charge by the drop.

No doubt the Fed “money tightening” will stop as the economy grinds to a near halt. They’ll rapidly reengage ZIRP again and inflation will soar. And the hand-wringing will intensify. . . and the eneMedia complicity will go into overdrive.

Kind of reminds me of the time Bernie Sanders claimed that long food lines in The Soviet Union were a good thing because that meant they were producing food. The stupidity of the so called “intellectuals” never ceases to amaze me.

You’re looking at it all wrong.

Think of this as an opportunity to get a flat tax.

Everyone in the top tax bracket!

At $10 a gallon everything stops. If you work 20 miles away from home you are losing money and may as well declare yourself an illegal immigrant and go get your free money, food, baby formula, phone and sympathy. (He knows that the people who built this country have what is called pride in self and country, and would continue to work. He knows that the people who he favors have hatred for self and country, and are happy to collect the free stuff.)

Yes, this is intentional. biden made a promise to the climate wackos that he would scotch the internal combustion engine.

“High gas prices will crush the economy—for everyone—because everything has oil prices embedded in it.”

Decades in the 1970’s when we went to odd and even gas buying depending on your license plate number.

A guy finishing up his MBA wanted to do his thesis on how gas prices set in the Middle East:

1. Devastated our American economy and plunged us into recessions.

2. Which reduced stock prices across our markets.

3. At that time the oil shieks often bought a lot of depressed American and world wide stocks at bargain prices.

4. Then, they lowered prices and increased their supply to us, on their oil. Then, our financial markets recovered. Which increased their stock value and often reaped some good dividends.

His professors said they would not accept his thesis if it was centered on 1-4 above.

Cheer up. Everything has to break before we can make things better. The corruption is so deep and widespread things as they are can’t be salvaged.

Naaah. Congress will just raise the minimum wage to $50/hr.
Or $75.
Or $100
(Rush facetiously recommended the upper number 5 or 6 years ago)

But, on the plus side: no mean tweets.

Don't forget we now have the Cleveland Guardians and Washington Commanders.

They can add another digit by getting rid of the fractional cent. It is always a 9 and is misleading on the price of a gallon of gas.

This is what happens when the Marxists convince 81 million young skulls full of mush that a mail order gubmint with a mail order president and a ditzy ho is a good idea.

You don’t have to love the GOP.

Just know that with Dems in charge, we reach Hell much faster.
