I haven't been driving a lot due to the increase in gas prices. I'm monitoring how much I drive now.

It’s not the prices of fuel, it’s the bozo in the White House causing all of the chaos facing our nation. I wish our media outlets actually covered the real news instead boosting this post turtle even further. Nobody knows how the turtle got on the post but somebody put him there. We’re all F$&ked.

I drive 100 miles round trip every weekday. Now everyone carpools or rides the bus cause I’m not going to make any extra trips. At almost $75 to fill my car, it’s too expensive to do anything extra. Even looking at cutting out Christmas traveling. Nothing that isn’t local only.

As well as Kate Brown's war on oil, and numerous other politicians/leeches.

I have to drive to many places every day. The recent gas surged hasn't changed how much I drive.

Not me but I am retired, but I know it is a hardship on many people. It is because of the horrible Trojan horse for socialism (he is a bad joke) This so called administration and its war on oil has caused all!!! Lets all thank the Biden administration for screwing America over! LETS GO BRANDON!!!!

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
