As price of fuel ratchets up, so does anger of people who can no longer afford it
Protesters are taking to the streets around the world to voice anger about skyrocketing fuel prices and rolling blackouts, as the now months-long US war with Iran drives up the cost of energy globally.
How high does the price have to go in the FSoA before we get the riots too? I would think $10/gal should do it. Of course Amerikans are so fat & lazy they can't get up off the couch to riot.
Amerikan Exceptionalism. It's all good as long as it's somebody else's problem. 🙄

The out of date tune that refuses to get irrelevant.
Just as well since all rioting will do is get you hurt. Would $10/gal gas do it ? I think that might get a few pussy hats out of the closet. Then the hatters can drive down to a designated area to protest, and then drive home. Stopping for a snack along the way.
The number of people who understand 1. and 2. give a shit about the issues is what ?
1 in 10,000 or less, that is what I am guessing. Add the giving a shit part into the count, the ratio drops to maybe 1 in 50,000 as the better answer.
Leading to the conclusion that we can all bend over and kiss it goodbye !
I don't know Spanish and have no idea what she is saying.
