Tractors! Combines! Potato diggers! Heard of ‘em? They share something in common: they guzzle diesel. New from me and colleagues today for @reuters.com: why record-high diesel prices are very likely to drive food prices higher.

Ford didn’t directly lobby for the 100% Chinese EV tariff. The Alliance for American Manufacturing pushed for higher tariffs, while the Alliance for Automotive Innovation supported action against subsidized Chinese EVs. Ford is one member of that group alongside GM, Stellantis, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda…

Good. Because apprently leaders shitting on the U.S. constitution and their oaths, tearing down standards, constantly lying, preying on children, screwing over workers in favour of the wealthy and trying to obliterate the rights of any but themselves, none of this holds any sway over two thirds of the voting base. They only give a damn when…

Just the other day a school system in Indiana announced it would have to stop bus service for kids living less than 1.5mi from their schools. In places without adequate sidewalks and where it can dip to negative temperatures in the winter. This is also while the republican governor is bragging about a budget surplus, in part because he drastically…

No one will blame billionaires, they own the media and they will tell people who to blame..it will be immigrants that will be scapegoated. It will be people that are using social safety nets that will be blamed. Brown and black people that will be blamed.

I'm sure we already know this.., it's not like there's any window of hope with Iran or Trump. We are all kind of fucked and have no idea how this may end up, especially considering this was supposed to be a 3-4 week "thing"

But the battery costs are insane…if you commute high miles you blow through the warranties. not to mention you need the 240 chargers installed which alone costs thousands for the proper setup if you also need new lines ran.

It’s really quite sad isn’t it. I wonder if they feel like they have to believe all of it because if they didn’t, they’d not be able to stay employed. The rat race requires the rats to believe it’s the best/only way. :-/

He literally doesn’t give a fuck. He just needed to be reelected to keep himself out of jail and after the midterms you’re going to witness a man who never has to face the voters again. It’s going to be catastrophic

Diesel is basically the hidden tax on the entire supply chain. 😂 Trucks feel it first, but once transport, farming and construction costs rise, consumers eventually get the bill too.
-
Volume? Maybe they’re making less profit but you’re also moving more product by not holding out. No idea how the math looks on that, but the point is that it’s not that simple.

I love my EV, it's fast and costs me about $80 a month to charge. I can't even remember the last time I was at a gas station. I think it was to grab a RedBull and some chips.

In every country, petrol and diesel does go up, but it seems when it goes up in America by 50c, man the country shakes... Trump really fucked up with the Iran conflict...
-
I remember how everyone didn't like Mitt Romney at the time. "He's too slick, too business like!" If he was around 2024, he would have been the ideal GOP candidate...

Small businesses and rural areas are probably going to feel this first. They do not have the same room to absorb higher costs. That part rarely gets enough attention.
-
I understand the sentiment. But a prolong rise in price is just going to kill off small businesses. Its going to punish us all. I can barely afford food as is.

Orange has 2 more years and he has nothing to lose knowing he can't get re-elected. Odds weigh heavily that he destroys the country at an even faster pace.

You really feel how connected everything is when dispel spikes. Increased transport costs will show up in grocery bills and everyday consumer goods.

Pleasing Israel has been going on for a while from clinton to bush biden and trump. If trump didnt go into Iran Kamala would have.

I’m about to have heart surgery and will be home chilling for a few months. So I guess the positive is I won’t be driving

Yeah, I'm not eating anything that hasn't been cooked to a safe temperature until these chucklefucks are out of power.

This right here kills me. I remember being shocked wages went up at all after Covid. That's not happening again.

They might still win through voter suppression, gerrymandering, and they own the voting machines.
