To GOP Politicians in red states. STFU about gas prices.

Here is the list of current gas prices in all 50 states.

If you live in Oklahoma, your gas prices are where mine were in PA about a month ago. Even Texas hasn’t hit $4.00/gal yet. Florida and Georgia are the two red states that are just barely paying a little more that $4.

I’m very lucky that I work from home in one sense that I don’t drive my car that often. I have a 2014 Kia Soul with 43500 miles on it. (No it’s not for sale). What ticks me off though is I’m pretty sure I’m paying twice as much for natural gas and electricity than I was a year ago. Something tells me that the gas companies are charging more because somehow, we in the northeast are paying off the idiotic Texas grid fiasco from last year. Well, SOMEONE’s going to have to take a haircut if they can’t pass all those costs on to consumers who will grumble but pay. And that would be us. That ticks me off. I finally get a raise and it’s gobbled up by trying to heat my house that I work in all day.

And what is really annoying is I keep my house at a balmy 65°F and have been doing it for years. But it doesn’t matter a jot. I’m conserving. I’m still paying a lot more than last year.

Add that to the $4.30/gal that I’m paying at the gas station and I am one unhappy person right now. But I’m going to suck it up and pay it because as much as it hurts my wallet, it’s not like I’m standing in a war zone.

So, I don’t want to hear one drawling complaint from anyone south of the Mason Dixon line about how much gas costs. That goes for the plains states as well who are still less than $4.00. You’re just whining because some media outfit is covering you whining. Nobody is shelling your tractor.

And if yinz (y’all) really cared about the prices of gas that your constituents have to pay, you wouldn’t vote against bills that would lessen their dependence on fossil fuels. You know, stop opposing solar power? Renewable energy sources? Nuclear power? (I hear the new reactor designs are much safer.)

Also, you wouldn’t have supported that Putin fanboy. You got us into this mess by not voting for the person who would have made Ukraine one of her top foreign policy priorities and made Vlad’s knees shake. It’s all YOUR fault that we’re in this mess and frankly, I don’t want to hear some blonde floozy sTrumpette or MAGAhead complaining about gas prices.

Media sources, please take note. We don’t want to hear it.
