It's almost $6/gallon in Denmark.
Poor fuckers are going under - can't afford healthcare.
Oh wait - no, that's the US.
The price of gasoline in Thailand is over $4/gallon. This is a country where college graduates may start with a $500 monthly salary, and a majority of the population makes much less than that. It wasn't so long ago that gas was $1/gallon; the price hike has had major effects.
Yet I've never heard a Thai complain about the price of gas (though they routinely offer to buy gas when being driven as a favor). Is whining about the price of gas a peculiarly American practice? Most developed countries have gas more expensive than the U.S.; do they whine about the price and about taxation whenever they fill their tanks?
Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that the country that rescued Western Europe from Hitler, that landed a Man on the Moon, is the same country we see today, with right-wing whiners and cruel cowardly cops. I burst out laughing when I read that a founding member of the Oath Keepers was turning state's evidence: I guess the "Oath" (if they even took one) of these big brave freedom-loving Trump lovers didn't include Omertà.
ETA: The final sentence may seem unrelated. But for me, the cruel cowardly, usually racist, cops; the moronic followers of QAnon; the government haters who whine about Biden whenever they fill their gas tanks; the trollish message boarders who never have more to contribute than snide one-liners.; and Trump-lickers with a pretentious name like Oath Keepers but who can't keep an oath — they all blur into one contemptible turd-pile for me.
She seems qualified. No mention of any felonies.
