Stickers MAGA posted on pumps after Joe won? When can we start posting Tariff stickers on Food and just about everything? Specifically brought on by Donald himself. Joe did not control gas prices. Which is now and has been for a while now $2.65/gallon.

(611 posts)CA chooses to have higher gas taxes to fund roads and other things. In fact all comparisons should separate the actual gas price from state and local taxes.

(4,250 posts)I imagine the Canadian tariffs will raise hell here when they are enacted.
I also imagine that when he gets the chance, Trump will do his best to fuck us over here in Vermont. Our GOP governor voted against him, Bernie Sanders is a bane to all his fascist followers, the Vermont GOP primary was the only one he lost, and MAGA nationwide despise us.
Like the Dude, though, we will abide.

(19,382 posts)And the attention from him mentioning tariffs has gotten him massive attention from the media. He definitely knows how to play every aspect of media.

(12,947 posts)Here is an area furthest away from gas distribution hubs, and thrives on tourism, that usually get gauged. We have Been under $3 for two years.
The food prices are up but $3 for a dozen eggs is not destroying my life. Plus, at Ingles, we get gas points for purchases, double Tuesdays really add up.
I typically get an average of .20 per gallon off gas with those high food scams.
So most times I am paying $2.40+ - per gallon.
But again, those prices are not set by presidents.
The tariffs will be directly attributed to DJT.
Get the stickers ready.

(12,947 posts)Those that ARE facing these price gauging Corp scams. Bird Flu caused some of this, and no regs on pig farming may create swine flu, so eggs and bacon could soar,
If we survive human contact under JFKJr.
Believe me, I know what living at the low end is. As a retired Faculty member here in the state with the lowest pay for teachers in the nation, my annual salary was less than many people spend in leisure per year.
And my retirement income is less than that.
Yet MTG wants that stripped, and she is set for life with retirement after a few terms. Socialist money paying her.
Baby Chickens cost less than eggs. Time to built a small coup. (A feed the huge packs of coyotes here).

(214 posts)Gas has been about $3 here, but I usually pay about $2,80 with the discount card. It depends on how much you spend in the grocery, so I guess the higher grocery prices help???
