It has also killed children and civilians...
Hahaha Americans don't care about children and civilians. They only care about things that affect them directly like gas prices. At best they'll complain about the other stuff on social media and have 3 single-day protests in a year and make excuses about why they can't do more.
"But, but, the country is huge. It's massive, and huge. They can't be expected to drive across thousand of miles to protest. Or expected to go to their local town and protest!!"
"They've got busy lives. They can't just up and go to a protest"
"It's very difficult to get millions of people to all turn up on the same day"
"Also just wait until the midterms, it's gonna be a bloodbath. Once November is over things will change, so there's no point in protesting now."
(I put them all in quotes because those are the main excuses -not reasons, excuses- I used to get when I asked about when the next protest is going to happen.
The "it's very difficult" excuse is my favourite, whenever I point out that millions of people protested before the age of instant communication they get very snarky)
"I'm tired. I'm struggling to survive"
They're gonna be struggling more when they're dragged off to the concentration camps.
Unfortunately it seems Americans will only get the motivation to protest after it's too late.
Discourage critical thought and destroy education systems for 50 years specifically to decrease response in effective manner and encourage reactive over proactive response
Not shocking it was effective.
Then there was January 6th 2021.
They COULD if they only WANTED.
gaza wasnt an issue with voters up until after the election, other than railing and discouraging voters against biden. now the election is over gaza has gained more attention attacks on MSM(controlled by trumpers) has largely subsidized again both parties.
I like how that implies that children aren't civilians.
I intentionally separated them as everyone agrees that children are innocent. Some believe that civilians have it coming to some degree
[Won't somebody think of the children] GIF
Yeah...but gas prices.
Can't expect these assholes to care about that
Good point. Now who will fetch us oil if they are all dead?
Yes but it is the oil companies that charged us the extra $59 billion. Hey could have just... Not
They spent good money for this to happen in 2025/26
Oil billionaires:
Sam Altman?
$59 billion…so far.
The US supposedly has all this massive oil production and refining capacity, not to mention a huge supply of ethanol. I guess we are really testing the self-sufficiency theory.
I am personally looking at home battery storage and solar, to charge existing EV. Seems like the break even point on such a setup might be shifting closer and closer.
Even if you pull that off, you are still dependent on world/your country's economy.
Wait wait wait. You mean the oil industry made 59 billion dollars.
Saudi Armaco made around 1.8 TRILLION dollars last year. It cost them $11.50 to produce one barrel of oil. They make around 3.9 billion barrels per year. There roughly 45 billion in production costs.
Guys. The war with Iran was nothing more than an excuse to raise prices.
And isn’t expected to return to pre war price until 2032
It will never return. This is the new normal.
This
and likely the dems will be the blame of the oil prices until then, as if it was " planned"
Orange war is costing the entire world, not just Americans. And if EU had cojones, we'd send the bill to US and Israel.
The EU has cojones, they are in Spain, the rest are neutered.
$59 billion SO FAR. You think the recovery is going to be instant? 3 months minimum for relief to be felt, 69 months more realistically till the market starts to recover. And pre war levels 1-3 years.
Ain’t over yet. He can make it worse.
Wait until they figure out how much the tariffs cost them…
Okay, now we'll see what Americans do about it in November. Probably nothing. But hey, I would love to be proven wrong.
doubtful things will change, gop/SCHUMER and the rest of the DInoS did so much damage that this wont save things.
KA-CHING!
