My car takes premium, and I just paid about $80 to fill it up.
Gas at the Wawa near work literally jumped 20 cents since yesterday. Not only that, but plastic bags are now banned statewide.
Fuck this government.

I’ve never got the plastic bag hate. Growing up my family always reused shopping plastic bags as trash can liners for small waste bins in bathrooms or bedrooms. I imagine those who pushed for the ban buy their own plastic bags while throwing away what was easily reusable.
It's because niggers just let them fly and pollute the town. I have never come across a white family who didn't reuse them for something.
But of course you aren't allowed to address the source of the problem
If the lowest common denominator can't handle basic shit everyone suffers as a result.
Gun violence wouldnt be an issue if the inner cities werent inundated with what are essentially feral humans.
its not all blacks, its trashy poors. those exist in all races, btw.
Like I said: Niggers
Same here. I've always reused them. Now that they got rid of them or are only selling bags so thin they are utterly useless I have to buy trash bags. Which tells you who is pushing this shit: corporations who want you to spend more money and children who don't have to earn money.
Stuff like this is always bullshit. With plastic bags in particular, if you don't get the free, ultra thin plastic bags, you have to purchase disposable plastic bags for your home needs. The purchased bags are always thicker. Consumers would be upset if they actually paid for a plastic bag and they were as thin as the "free" ones. But you see the issue, hopefully. By banning "free" plastic bags, you're just forcing yourself to buy thicker disposable plastic bags.
I follow a few Instagram "models" (for reasons) and they are hilarious. They are all about "sustainability" and ultra against single use plastics. But the funny part is that weekly, or more frequently, you'll see they have a different reusable plastic cup/bottle or whatever. A proper reusable plastic cup takes soooo much more than a week's worth of disposable plastic cups' plastic. This is lost on them.
And why are young people so supposedly into the "environment" using disposable shit anyway? They should be pushing for a return of recyclable GLASS bottles - like we used to use - and buy some proper glassware and cutlery. Hell, porcelain was cheaper than it's ever been to get brand new plates, bowls and cups. And if that's still too rich for you, Sally Anne always has that stuff.
And the green revolution of the 1980s saw the beginning of more envrionmentally-friendly products, which has helped cut down on water pollution in North America (amongst other things. And hey, when you live in a place where the sewage empties into a hole in the ground, you might want to use something that isn't going to poison your soil. Or the dumbass ducks paddling around on there.)
Rampant consumerism and marketing. Which is ironic when so many of these people are so against "capitalism."
They're all about "sustainability" until it comes to spending a bit more up fronfor a reusable metal canister and actually using it for its life before recycling it at a scrap yard.
What it is is that they don't actually care about the environment; they just think it's fun to buy "green" shit.
I'm old enough to remember plastic bags being encouraged over paper bags to "save the trees."
Yup, and now that paper recycling is back, they won't give us the old paper grocery bags back. Why? So they can sell those cloth monkey-arm bags (which are just repurposed book bags that we used in school, and I hated those) and harass the hell out of people who prefer backpacks.
My county forced me to either waste my time and inconvenience myself with reusable bags or fund the same pink-haired freaks that forced this choice on me with a significant bag tax.
They took time and convenience away from me, so I took it back by not recycling at all anymore. Not recycling is easier and since they've replaced choice with mandates I'm no longer personally invested in the system. I'd say over half my trash was recycled and now it's all garbage and I don't give a fuck.
It's around $8/gallon around here. Welcome to European socialism!
I love how European governments charge almost 50% sales tax (to save the environment)
The only impact on the environment is that us Americans get to drive a bigger SUV
how much of that is tax derived from the EU mandates?
Fun times, not :(
On the bright side, the people who are storming the capital, invading buildings, and dispersing secret documents AREN'T being demonized by the press and therefore are a non-issue because the press determines policy.
Jo Bai Den: I did this!
TRUE: puteen is literally hitlar 2.0 and if you dont support the azovs then ur a hWite NaZi!!!!
Putin's Gas Tax
Jo Bai Den: Where am I?
Ironic, more efficient engines are tuned for premium fuel.
Ah, a fellow NJ resident. Yesterday Wawa was giving out their reusable bags for free. I still hate the idea. You bring the food in but now you're forced to remember to take the bag back out with you to reuse it. This is do-nothing feel good legislation that has so little effect on the actual problem that it just creates more problems by being obtuse.
I've already forgotten 3 times now. I'm surprised California didn't do this first.
Bro, I put in $70 every day in my work van. $40 used to be plenty.
Use your own fee .. .oh, wait, everyone's too damn fat to see their feet/too diabetic to have any feet left.
I would not be surprised to see $10/gal gas by end of the year
bro, i couldnt even fill up fully these last few weeks. FUCK BIDEN
Agreed. It will take time. It is also relatively good because that means more money for America in the long run. As eventually Europe will be more dependent on American energy. The only downside is the time it will take for all of that to happen, Biden being a useless idiot to think in restarting pipelines or take regulations or other stupid shit out blocking the jobs for Americans in the energy sector and the current prices skyrocketing. Which will affect the wallet for everyone.
eu is moving to evs, and the slowed down transports for every industry will probably surpass the benefits of Us being able to sell more oil to eu
