Can I complain about fuel too?

Yesterday I filled her up for $11.68 a gallon (imperial). 😑

Edit: For the US gallon that is $9.73 a gallon.

That's a pretty cheap rate for a hooker ... (What? Fill her up ;) )

I won't quit my day job 😋

@Viper My car is a classy (albeit old) lady, not a hooker. 😤
Really??? The Dutch switched over to dollars now??? 🤨 🤔 🤭

@sarabee1995 Sounds like it would be easy to remove some of the subsidy and some of the taxes and it would even out, but I guess it won't work like that. 😶

@Classified Yeah, I'm pretty sure government financing and budgets don't quite work so clean. But I'm very much in favor of reducing all subsidies to almost all industries. In the world according to Sara, very few private businesses/industries would receive public dollars.

@sarabee1995 Worldwide they wouldn't receive subsidy? I mean if one government gives it, but another does not, you get distortion of competition. 😅

It’s the cost of standing up to dictators. I was talking to my family about it, if it means financially sticking it to the Kremlin we’re happy to pay more for fuel.
Classified · M
@CakeByTheOcean I'm wondering how much it really does.

@CakeByTheOcean really ... that's absurd

@pdockal Suit yourself.

I won’t complain right now during this war. I’m in better shape than the Ukrainians. :(

@Keepitsimple Yes, that goes without saying. 🥺

Time to maybe switch to an electric car, and pull out the bicycles often. So far I'm happy to take a hit to our wallets to help continue to needle away at Putin. I'd pay alot more for someone to plant a sharp tack on his favorite chair for example. What he is doing to Ukraine is devastating.
That's been our take anyway, but then our gas prices are much much lower then yours too.

Hope you don't have long drives!

@Scribbles Most of the time I use the bike to go to the office, so that helps.

I just don't know whether the sanctions help against the war. Worst case scenario is that the war doesn't stop, but that the money given as charity to help the fleeing Ukrainians decreases in value, so it's effectively less. 😐

Is that in monopoly money?!?!!? 😲

@sarabee1995 Nope, calculated from euros 🥺

if paying £20 a gallon stops the Russian economy and hinders progess and helps to stop the genocide

@SW-User I hope the war will be stopped.

@Classified dont we all
its atrocious and should never haver started
but unfortunately it has and by one man
one man who is clearly a lunatic and should never be trusted ever
@SW-User thing is it doesnt matter a damn bit what sanctions do to Russians economy it still isn't stopping them from blowing the hell out of Ukraine and killing innocent civilians in the process so what are these sanctions accomplishing really other than pissing off Putin further further escalating the situation and raising prices on every damn thing all around making it harder on every body

@Vivaci 😭

If people have to calculate their expenses, any price increase can hit hard. Maybe people will now have a shortage at the end of the month. If whether it is my price our yours, both can do damage. 🥺
@Classified yeah…inflation is at an all time high…thanks to external factors. 😞
Classified · M
@Vivaci Not all time high, but yes it is bad. 😩
😐 that is a lot! I hope you don’t drive a lot. Or far.
Classified · M
@nonsensiclesnail I need to drive a few times a week.
Fortunately I can work from home or take the bicycle to the office.

I wonder if Joe Biden is to blame for your high gas prices too?!

...this is rhetorical by the way...I don't truly wonder. I am sure you can gather as much. 🤣
Classified · M
@JaggedLittlePill I've seen people talk about why or why not be carries blame, but I'll stay out of American politics. 😬
