The worst and most stupid bit is this:
Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”
He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”
Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.
I have questions.
What steps did they take? They didn’t take any steps.
Who’s hurting more? The gas prices in US has increased by 50%. I don’t see that anywhere else. This is partially because we already pay a lot more in fixed taxes, so the gas prices alone doesn’t cause the same kind of spikes. Of course we still pay more for it as usual, but the current increase of about 10% doesn’t hurt us as much as it hurts the Americans.
What green energy scams is he talking about? Green energy works. I wouldn’t call it a stable price, as it fluctuates like the wind, but on average I’m paying less for charging my car than I did last year, and I’m expecting the price to drop. It was always cheaper than gas per milage, still is and certainly will be even more so in the future. Big scam huh.
