This is going to be very interesting to witness. I would expect some breakage already with an extra dollar for gas. But I still see the tanks people call vehicles driving around.

Which means my original conclusion that the size of vehicle on top of type is a indicator of class to some degree might be true. Give or take Lyft drivers and the likes of course.

Never have I been more vindicated in not owning a car. Sure everything else is more expensive too but at least I don't have to worry about filling my tank or waiting in fuel lines. Peddle power & electric trains for me all day please

If this bubble pops while diesel is exploding in price we very well could see the collapse of the US sooner than thought possible.

Probably seriously need to start planning accordingly so the US left isn't caught so embarassingly unprepared like with the BLM uprisings.

I've been stressing this with my local group. I wish I could be as active as I was a year or two ago but my new stage in disabilities is kicking my ass. (Something I'm refusing to think about how it's going to make make matters worse for our household)
