All the Nextdoor smoothbrains in Illinois got very concerned about the state gas tax at the same time, about 2 weeks ago, after not making a peep about gas prices since Biden was in office.

I haven't looked back to try and find the Fox News segment they all got their script from, but the timing was odd.

Central Ohio, here. Prices were steady for a bit at about 2.75 or so and now its hovering right around 5.00, which is not normal for this area.

They'll happily eat the "daddy tax" so a few trans kids can't play volleyball
