Is it true all Americans want higher gas prices?

He didn’t mention communism, and he wasn’t talking about this site. Btw, it seems like you do want to discuss more than tractors and other aspects of rural life. :D
Some folks just like to make noise, and take issue with everything!
We just found another one!
Easy guess as to political affiliation.

when your electric car dies on the side of the freeway, do you walk to the electric store and buy a bucket of electricity to refill?

Taking it one step further: Let’s say 10 years from now there are a LOT of electric cars, which I am positive there will be.
What happens when one of them runs out of electric battery power in a 2 mile long traffic jamb on the George Washington Bridge or the Lincoln Tunnel in NYC?
How will you get electricity to them with hundreds or perhaps thousands of cars stacked up in front of them and behind them?

A battery powered tow truck will come to the rescue, and will simply unreel it's two mile long set of jumper cables! ;)

My reaction as well. Some people don’t understand the value of freedom and what sacrifices were made to get and keep freedom.
Private businesses and site operators have the freedom to set standards for use of their sites and facilities. They have the freedom to cancel those who don’t respect their standards.

They don't have standards when it goes one way.

Look up "standards".

Nothing one way about TBN banning someone for political talk on their site. They ban all of such talk. And nothing one-way about businesses banning store entry if people don’t comply with the private businesses rules (mask wearing). Nobody has the “freedom” to use another private businesses facilities unless the owner permits this.

The real issue is just what defines "political talk"?

Yep, free inflation, free increased regulation, free higher taxes, free vaccine mandates, free higher gas prices, free illegal border crossings, free handouts to illegal immigrants, free money to stay home and not work, free CRT indoctrination for kids, free monitoring of bank accounts with more than $600 in them.
Wouldnt mind getting rid of the “free” lying, biased news media and free of people like Jussie Smolett out there staging a fake beat down. Be nice to be free from perfectly effective off the shelf affordable cures like Ivermectin being demonized.
Might get some free gun grabbing here soon if we don’t change things!
Probably lots more free stuff out there too, but it’s not freedom. No, it’s oppression.

Id rather be free from all that free junk.
Wow, you managed to hit all of the alt-right rants with one post. Commendable. Carry on.
