    Just wait for the actual Trump 2028 posters to be out, and go at them with a whiteout pen.

        export where they can make even more profits… then raise the price back here at home because of ‘‘shortages’’.

          Well, there are shortages.

          The GP’s point is just that the US as a whole decided to pull it home instead of keeping their diesel and letting other people suffer it.

          That made some rich people richer.

    Americans having the cheapest fuel in the first world, and still being crippled by the cost says a lot, I think, but I don’t know how quite to express it. Res ipsa loquitur.

      Were not actually crippled but the motorheads are a bunch of winy bitches. Its the gas guzzler trucks that are driven for no reason other than because they can who get the most vocal about gas prices. We let the auto industry supersize the autos to the point they are obnoxious which now become a pain for those owners.

        The small farmers look crippled, diesel prices doubled

        Long haul trucking/shipping is probably gonna raise costs everywhere

          After seeing all the investigations into lettuce basically showing 4 farms providing all the lettuce (and Taylor farms being so big) basically removed the idea that there are small farms or small farmers.

          Keep in mind any farmer is sitting on land that has an enormous equity value that those same farmers leverage for very special loans (farmers even have their own special Chapter 12 bankruptcy type to let them keep as much as possible). Farmers don’t need our help.

        Lol and they like to have massive trump flags on their truck to kill any bit of efficiency they might have.
