The New York Times on Memorial Day weekend blamed American citizens for record-high gas prices, instead of President Biden’s war on American energy.

As gas prices reached another record on Saturday of $4.60 per gallon, up 45 cents from one month ago, according to AAA, many Americans are looking to enjoy their holiday weekend by getting out of town using a gas-powered vehicle. Yet the Times on Friday slammed American drivers for over-consuming gasoline.

How about minding your business.

Typical elitist globalist rhetoric and BS.

and did they drive to their offices to make this statement?

[MrRelevant]

Don’t they run this same story every year?

[Apparatchik]

Where do I go to scold the NYT for being joyless a**holes?

[DennisR]

Cursing

The government is definitely in the process of curtailing Americans’ driving. They are reducing consumption of everything, really.

I’d say meat and gas are the two main priorities.

[rellic]

I strongly encourage all Democrats to stay in their homes and not come out for any reason. Makes us all safer.

I just drove 125 miles. I love burning fossil fuels.

The end must come soon for the domestic American enemy that is the publisher of the New York Times. He does America more harm than President Xi, Putin of Kim

Almost all of the wealthy elites have a sports car, or a boat, or a private jet or all three. Why tell us plebes to stop using our cars, (that we need to make a living), when they won't give up their toys first?

Which leads me to something that I thought about the other day. Can you have an electric powered boat? Plugging in all those boats with all that water around. Seems kind of risky. What is the state of that technology?

Oxford Dictionary:

Consumption”

“...the purchase and use of goods and services by the public.”

If they have the money, and they put a priority on it, then travel is using whatever way they want to and the fuel is therefore for their use. Does the NY Times think it is illegal? How did they get to the office to print this...flap their arms and fly?

I may just back my jeep into the driveway and let it run

[roadcat]

Meanwhile Biden, Schumer, Pelosi and other Democrat “leaders” are flying all around the country and world on fuel-slurping jet planes, on us taxpayer’s dime. And we’re paying for our own fuel on our vehicles.

How does the food get into NYC? How does all the things that aren't manufactured there (most things) get to consumers in NYC? How do all the ‘little people’ who make NYC run (e.g. subway train operators, cab/uber drivers, door men/women, store clerks, wait staff, etc) get around when they aren't serving the oh so smart people who live in Manhattan - where the little people can't afford to live? Hubris at its urban best.

How about minding your business.

It’s business is Leftist propaganda and serving as a tool for the Democrats. Meanwhile it will not mind certain topics like the Holocaust.

The New York Times has a long history of aiding anti Americans Stalin Hitler.............................................

[ronniesgal]

re # 4, so what?

[gibsonguy]

Yeah when Trump was President we must have driven a hell of lot less because this did not happen then. These F’n idiots at the NYT actually blame us fir the country crippled by fuel costs.
