DC300 how on earth does the average person afford to live in that shit show?

Free government handouts at every opportunity. $20/hr minimum wage. Free education. Free healthcare. Ran into my gardener while running around town the other day, he was driving a much nicer car than I could afford.

      Sparky ree government handouts at every opportunity. $20/hr minimum wage. Free education. Free healthcare.

      Yup🙄

        Freebies!

        "As we’ll hear today, the United States subsidizes the fossil fuel industry with taxpayer dollars. It’s not just the US: according to the International Energy Agency, fossil fuel handouts hit a global high of $1 trillion in 2022 – the same year Big Oil pulled in a record $4 trillion of income.
        In the United States, by some estimates taxpayers pay about $20 billion dollars every year to the fossil fuel industry."

          Ack8236 that peanuts compared to the agricultural and “green” initiatives. Still utterly absurd, but not at all surprising.

            propman so what's new?

            Nothing really. Just to point out that the whole system is corrupt, not just the portions that fund or produces what we don't like. It turns out, Washington business practice works just like business capitalism - it doesn't really care where the money comes from.

              Dropped $.10 to $3.89.
              When this happens, it will go up at least .20 in the next few days.

              2.80s to 2.90s now.

              $3.49 at the local WallyWorld.

              $2.92 @ Wally World in Boerne today.

              Holding @ $3.89 around the corner. $3.24 @ Sam's across the river is probably the cheapest in the area.
