Why not get an ebike? Why do you have to go with a gas guzzler?

If you were smart you'd get a ebike. You can take an ebike everywhere. You can't take those gas guzzlers everywhere. Every city practically in every state are building these amazing bike trails, usually where rr tracks used to be, and people are going from town to town on either regular bikes or ebikes. You can't take a gas guzzler on these amazingly smooth trails. So have fun on the road with the cars. I'll take the shortcut through the rails to trails and beat you there and be safe doing it. And get a little exercise. Because I don't have a throttle on mine. I have to peddle. But you can get a throttle if you are lazy and I'm sure you are. LOL.

Sure, I ride bikes on trails but Im not going to ride one from texas to montana.

You get in your car and make one trip. Also, if you are having a problem, maybe you shouldn't have had 5 kids. Ask any middle class person with 2 kids why they don't have another one what are they going to tell you most of the time? Can't afford it.

So my first question is why do you have 5 kids?

Let’s see you tell that to the welfare queens. You won’t because you’re a typical hypocritical leftist.

Craziest thing is when the price of diesel doubled the price of everything doubled when it came to consumer goods from gasoline to food…

Coincidence???

Get diesel down and prices should fall…

It's tough. I have a lot of control over my grocery spending, but young families are getting hammered.

 

[surada]

So, bring Trump back
Good idea actually

He's a flamboyant game show host.. Trump has a lot in common with Gaddafi. Don't expect anything from him.

People don’t grow their own food usually and have no clue how to shop at farms or farmer market and with the way things are going people will need to rely on small farms to survive…

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Gas is so high im seriously considering looking like a total fruitcake and getting a vespa. TIMES ARE THAT BAD!

You are already a fruitcake so riding a Vespa will be no big deal!

I had that exact Yamaha Riva 180 when I was in college, 40 years ago.

 

[Sunsettommy]

Excuse me I didn't know Republicans were impervious to inflation.

How about this? Did you know that inflation only made bacon go up 50 cents. So why did the bacon seller raise the price $1? Those corporations are using the pandemic and inflation to gouge you. What would Trump do about that?

Just Yesterday I bought a pound of Bacon for about $9.50 but 2 months ago it was about $5.95 for that same brand and same weight.

You should better next time when you make unsupported whoppers.

Most Americans these days seem to live in apartments or buildings without yards.

 

[citygator]

Yep, $9.98 for a pound of thick-sliced Smithfield last week. Toss in the food tax that the dems here in Virginia won't give us any relief from and it's $10.50.

In before the photo-shopped cheaper prices.

Sigh. Bacon is 5.99-6.99 unless you’re a moron. No photo shop. Straight from my local store via their iPhone app.

Crocodile tears from the same Democrats who voted for inflation.

And if these Democrats had the votes, they would have spent trillions more.

Inflation’s biting. Roe’s fraying. Dems are still trying to connect with voters.

Democrats in Congress are rolling out ways to tackle inflation. But they’re struggling on another front: Talking about it with the public.

welcome to xiden’s america…i remember the good old days back in 2019 when people could afford to buy breakfast. That was pre-xiden

And if a rep in Congress, earning $170,000 a year, is crying about the price of bacon, how do they think the average workers earning $50,000 or a retiree getting by on $40,000 feel?

You KNOW it’s bad when people earning well into the six figures have to start making food choices,

There are single mothers with different baby daddies having 4 or 5 kids that we never address to stop.

The routes' gentle, mostly flat trails range from a few miles to more and wind through some of the most beautiful scenery in Virginia.

Bikers and hikers can’t seem to get enough of all that Virginia has to offer. It really is like no other state in the nation. Take a trip along the James River or follow history all the way up to the Nation’s capital. There’s no stopping the excitement this fall. From the rough and tumble on the mountains to the paved or sandy shores, there’s no end to the scenic views and adventures Virginia has to offer.

I'm jealous. Virginia looks wonderful.

Yeah, we’ve got some beautiful parks here - although the gas cost ro get there makes it hard to justify a visit.

Either way, beautiful parks don’t help pay the grocery bill or put gas in the tank, and right now lots of people are focused on more critical issues - like finding baby formula.

The country has collapsed so quickly under Biden that it’s impossible to believe it’s simply a result of poor policies. This is intentional.

You beat me to it! These libs who are always defending the welfare recipients who won’t get a job come down hard on responsible middle-class workers trying to support themselves through Bidenflation.

Let’s see you tell that to the welfare queens. You won’t because you’re a typical hypocritical leftist.

No, let me see you say that to your white trash blue collar supporters. Because when you guys are in charge and your right wing policies hurt the poor and middle class, you give out the same type of advice. When it's blacks in hoods, you tell them to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, right? Well I'm giving you a bit of your own advice.

Do I like inflation? No. But I make enough money that I can handle it and still save. Just not as much. Are you worried suddenly that the middle class isn't saving enough for retirement? I've been telling you right wingers for years that's been a problem. Nothing new. It's just worse suddenly because of inflation, that aint all our fault. And corporations are using the pandemic and inflation to gouge you. So if you're going to take that, then you'll take inflation too. Just bend over and take it.

Or, ask for a raise, start your own company or go back to school. If you aren't making enough now what do you want the government to do about it for you? Keep in mind your CEO this year just got a $3 million dollar raise. Did all the employees at your company get a cost of living raise? Maybe you should unionize then. LOL.

you are getting ripped off.

 

[sealybobo]

Oh I forgot a big bit of advice Republicans love to give when they are in charge and I say the middle class isn't making enough. They tell me we spend too much. So my advice if you have 3 kids and can't afford to put gas in your car is put two of them up for adoption and stop sending money on bullshit you don't need.
