The worst and most stupid bit is this:
Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”
He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”
Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.
what allies, do the US have any left ?
I drive my BYD EV charged off my solar panels here in Australia or ride my bicycle.
I have no idea what the price of gasoline or diesel is. I am sure I’ll see higher prices from freight but we’ve woefully under invested in electrified rail transport for freight and moving pole around the country so we are finding out after fucking around for decades.
“what allies, do the US have any left ?”
Russia and North Korea?
