Yes! I'm so sick of this stupidity. I just saw someone post about how apparently ChatGPT can replace people, but in the interim those people can't work remotely. What exactly do they need to be in the office for if something incorporeal can do the same job? Capitalism is ruining the entire planet cause a handful of people are so far up their own that they do not care about anything else.

The ONLY way to LOWER Gas Prices is to Vote for the SAME Republicans that Enacted the Policies that RAISED Gas Prices so High!
-LITERALLY Republican Voters!

I would but your dumb fuck Republican governors forced their agencies back to the office, at great expense to the state, and I got dragged in with it. On top of the never ending fucking construction that has only gotten worse since I moved to this shithole state, extending my commute by 50% from what it was 4 years ago.

I checked electoral maps on my last move and road trip. Not giving the Confederacy power over me if I want to go somewhere

How am I getting to work or getting groceries, Chris?!? This reeks of the infamous Ben Shapiro "just sell your sunken house" argument

As other comments have pointed out, this is absolutely wrong.
But on a personal level, I already am driving the absolute least I can because I can't actually afford to fill my tank at this time! This doesnt change anything except making decisions to cut things off lists and figure out if multiple things can be done in 1 trip to avoid making a 2nd trip. No idea how me doing this helps anything. It sure gives me anxiety though.

Tell that to all the microdick peaked in high school chuds who chose to drive a jacked up Ram or Z71.
