Were not actually crippled but the motorheads are a bunch of winy bitches. Its the gas guzzler trucks that are driven for no reason other than because they can who get the most vocal about gas prices. We let the auto industry supersize the autos to the point they are obnoxious which now become a pain for those owners.

    The small farmers look crippled, diesel prices doubled

    Long haul trucking/shipping is probably gonna raise costs everywhere

    After seeing all the investigations into lettuce basically showing 4 farms providing all the lettuce (and Taylor farms being so big) basically removed the idea that there are small farms or small farmers.

    Keep in mind any farmer is sitting on land that has an enormous equity value that those same farmers leverage for very special loans (farmers even have their own special Chapter 12 bankruptcy type to let them keep as much as possible). Farmers don't need our help.

    What about the young man who just invested in an excavator and a new truck to haul it? There are lots of trades that do actually rely on diesel and it's naive to pretend otherwise. Plus, all of the food at your grocery store? Diesel brought it. Every machine that maintains the roads, and plows them in the winter, most of the small boats we rely on for seafood, it's unfortunate, but it's used everywhere and it's cost is tied to lots of other goods.

    Lol and they like to have massive trump flags on their truck to kill any bit of efficiency they might have.
