The possible return of the double nickel is what keeps me up at night.
I guess I'm too young to have ever heard of the double nickel. I didn't know that piece of slang. Now I understand the title of the classic Minutemen Album "double nickel on the dime." Going 55 on I-10. LOL.

I had forgotten about the double nickel until VooDoo mentioned it. I can remember during the Arab oil embargo when two highway patrol officers would line their cars up side by side on the interstate. They would drive at 55 like that until they each had a line of cars behind them. Then the one on the inside lane would pull over. The first two cars that passed them got ticketed.
 
55 mph sucked. And it stayed that way far too long.

But $5 per gal. Is still a thing in America. Murikans don’t like dat.
 
🎁 War With Iran Puts Further Strain on America’s Pessimistic Farmers

"Nearly 75 percent of farmers surveyed before the war said the crop sector was in a recession. They face bigger hurdles this planting season."

And I'm guessing 75% percent of farmers would vote for Trump again if they could.
Well, of course. Economic destruction of their profession may be bad, but not as bad as getting forcibly transed by a purple-haired they/them doctor while liberals brainwash your kids into hating America.
 
I mean .. You have to just be oblivious

Not get gas, not see stations and not follow the news
I don't look at gas prices unless I am getting gas.

And I bet well more than 25% of the population doesn't pay attention to the news.

Gas prices have gone up so fast that it wouldn't surprise me at all if 25% are unaware of it.
 
And 11% of those who know prices are up this month blame Biden.
Oh, it'll be higher than that. In the conspiracy-addled, Fox-brainwashed, full of resentment MAGA brain somehow the Democrats are always to blame for anything bad. High gas prices will be blamed on Biden, the not-so-splendid war against Iran will be blamed on Democrats somehow, and on and on. The cult will protect Dear Leader from blame at all costs.

and don't forget preventing brown hordes from coming to rape and murder our precious women and children...

Yep. These are the same people that think Obama should have done more during 9/11.

They are unaware of the rise in gas prices because a Republican is in the White House.

If a Democrat were President, Fox News and the rest of the right wing propagandists would be pounding increased gas prices 24/7. They are soft pedaling the increases and spouting the “short term pain for long term gain” nonsense to justify Trump’s ill-advised war. Put a Democrat in this situation and they would be screaming about the impact on farmers, families, and everything else.
