No one's having a good time.
I'm an LA-based trending news writer covering health, politics, and internet culture. In Los Angeles, California, where I am right now, I'm hard-pressed to find a station below $6 a gallon — and some stations are even creeping past $7.
,"Americans, how do we feel about ?
" and people did not hold back their thoughts. Here's what everyone had to say:"Pissed off. If it were just gas, I could work around it, but EVERYTHING'S gone up. It's insanity.
At some point, something's gotta give.
" "I remember filling up my first car with a $20 bill and actually getting change back. Now $20 just covers the service fee for thinking about gas.
""The extra $10–15 a week I spend on gas doesn't mean shit when food has doubled from what I was paying four years ago. " "Paid $5.40/gal for gas yesterday, and something broke inside of me. Once my kid is in school next year, I won't have to drive and hope to just get a bike.
😭"GDP in the United States, gas and grocery prices are out of control across the world, and Republicans want to give $1 billion of tax money to Trump for a fucking ballroom. I’m not happy.
" "As an electric vehicle owner who lives close enough to bike to work, I'm just happy for my conservative countrymen who are finally getting the policies they wanted. Congratulations, guys! But seriously, I feel really bad for all the innocent people getting hurt by this.
" "We got our first electric vehicle almost eight years ago and our second about three years ago. Both times, gasoline was much cheaper than it is now, but I knew one thing for sure: Gas prices tend to go up and will always be volatile. We're in a small town in Minnesota, too. No mass transit options.
Plenty of neighbors who voted for that f**king guy and love their trucks. They didn't want some 'woke' EV, except for a few months last year when Trump and Elon were sucking each other off. That was the very first time my MAGA neighbor asked honestly curious questions about my EV.
" "It's a shame because modern EVs are pretty much the ideal rural American vehicle. Plenty of range, and everybody here can easily charge at home. We all put a lot of miles on our vehicles and need reliable transportation. But, nah, we like getting fucked by our oligarchs.
" "Pissed off. If we wouldn't have started dicking around with Iran, none of this would be going on. It would have just been the normal up and down with gas prices.
" "Trump kept a campaign promise. He said that if I voted for Harris, gas prices would increase and we would be at war. He was correct.
" "My mom voted for Trump three times and has completely flipped now this term. She even thought the ballroom thing was staged. I was shocked.
""My dad, who voted for Trump three times, said the other day: 'I like Trump and all, but I thought he said the Strait was open!? '"Sigh. How is the rising cost of gas affecting your life? Is there anything you've had to give up just so you can get around? Let us know down in the comments.
