    We have already had two actors be president. That’s enough.
    Actually, they were both awesome presidents, unlike all the lawyer types who are 'professional' politicians

    I think we should have MORE actors, since they have demonstrated a 100% success rate so far

    People who have spent their entire career in politics and never held a real job should be shown the door

    Edit: Community Organizer is not a real job, either

    And a president/politician having a "real" job.
    That's just crazy talk.

    Though seriously, then you'd have to define real job.
    Not on the public teat, real responsibilities and having well defined standards of success and well defined penalties for failure with no possibility of failing up

    Some gas stations along the southeastern states actually ran out of gas because of the pipeline ransomware attack.
    But GasBuddy shows many gas prices in the $2.50-$2.60 range with a few in the hardest hit areas going over $3.

    Meanwhile california was not hit by the pipeline shortage but their gas is about $4.00-$4.10 with a few over $6 in LA.

    $2.60??? WTF? According to Gas Buddy every station within 20 miles of me is $3.099 - $3.199. Someone needs to drive a tanker up Marathon’s ass.

    Most around me are $2.88, with a few at $2.95.
    Okay. Marathon needs TWO tankers driven up its ass. Louisville Metro is always higher than surrounding areas. Some of that is understandable. Louisville requires a cleaner blend of gasoline. That’s more expensive. But many other cities that require the same blend have historically lower prices than Louisville Metro. Marathon supplies 95% of this area’s fuel. Monopolistic cocksuckers.

    The statement is about the southeastern states - NOT Indiana - just like it says.

    Here is a quickie search for North Carolina...

    I’m just complaining about the local gas prices in Louisville Metro area. It’s a thing. There are two basic reasons why gas is more expensive here than most elsewhere in the free states. 1) Louisville Metro passed an ordinance back in the mid 2000’s that requires a cleaner grade fuel and that adds a few cents more per gallon. 2) Marathon has 95% of the market in this region. And they like to gouge the **** out of prices. This isn’t a statement about the shortages caused by the pipeline ransomware attack.

    Looks like they were caught up by the Fed and reducing air pollution. We have the stupid RFG up here by Chicago too.

    You also forgot the upcoming holiday. That always raises prices. And then Summer usually sees higher demand, which drives prices up.
