The price of a gallon of gasoline swings, for no reason what-so-ever. It's not the president, the political party in charge. It's just greed and bullshit.
I pay $12AUD for 8 standard 3 ply rolls here, and I don't complain and am on a pension.

Petrol, just under $2 a liter, that's 0.264172 of a US Gallon, and I don't complain.

Not say you are complaining, but I see a lot of Americans do, and It's not a USA issue it's everywhere, and complaining or blaming the wrong entity is a waste of time, and sometimes self defeating like as you point out by blaming the current government..

The USA is full it now seems of know it all cry babies and whiners complaining all the time. Unwilling to make the sacrifices or hard choices. Easily swayed by telling them what they want to hear.

I was not referring to numbers. I was encouraging the poster to expand the attributes of his or her preferred candidate beyond gender and color.
That was the inflection of my question.

The couple of MORONS we have at work are gloating this morning.

This shut them up. "Did you notice the concession and a promise of a peace transfer, the way it should always happen"

"What would you be doing today if the rolls were reversed"

America's future is now in the hands of people who only use the word "illegal" as a noun.

12 bucks for toilette paper????? I pay €3 here in Germany at Lidl for an 8 pack of 4 ply. It sure is expensive to shit, down under

Gas is expensive, of course, but it´s tolerable at about €1,80/l.

I pay about €9 for case of beer , 20 half liter bottles.

Over all, life is good in Germany

Sudden thought: Kamala lost because America no longer has any use for a sane president who is capable of circumspection and has the capacity to feel shame.
