While many in the US are getting vaccinated, there are still plenty of people who believe psychopaths currently enjoying the wake of chaos they stir with lies and conspiracy theories. Sadly, these sheeple have little understanding of science; it's indiscernible from magic, or some voodoo curse.

Despite the growing presence of the delta variant, cases and deaths from coronavirus remain far lower than they were at the height of the pandemic.

The Border Crisis, Crime, Inflation, Fuel costs including utilities, and the failing current administration are far more of a concern to me, among other things.

Steve TheBmann

I'm not concerned by this one, the earlier one, or all of those to follow. There are bigger concerns in the world right now and this seems to be more smoke and mirrors.

Adam Schrader

Not worried at all. I'm not a moron. I'm fully vaccinated. Wake up people!!!! Get vaccinated already. Do your part.

We have to commute to work, approximately 70 miles every day. We fill up once a week, and the cost has risen from an average of $36.50 before the Iran war, to now $55.00 each week. We now have to budget more for gas than we did. And there is still nothing to show for any of this pointless conflic

Max

So, you support Iran? Well, I support America.

Im driving about 81.6 miles a day to get my son to daycare and then myself to work. Car averages 21 mpg and requires minimum 91 octane fuel. $70 twice a week plus what my husband spends in fuel for just traveling back and forth to work and home. Keeping son home 2 days from daycare to save on fuel.

You need a more fuel-efficient car.

While no one enjoys paying more $ gas is cheap for what you get.

I wish puppet Biden did not drain the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed political scheme, much like his unconstitutional student loan forgiveness, to buy votes. The oil pipelines to Canada, that Biden stopped, would be handy about now too. Voting for future Democrats will be very limited.

Max

Trump had just refilled it, after Obama drained it down to nothing.

Far bigger issues than fuel prices

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Fred

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Zaos Gonzolez

Your own safety is your own responsibility.
