FRANKLIN, TN—Insisting that she hoped the spike in oil costs was only the beginning of a long upward trend, MAGA voter Kaitlyn Leonardi told reporters Tuesday that she loved high gas prices.
“I don’t care if the prices rise—heck, I prefer them that way,” said Leonardi, who crossed her arms in defiance as she lauded gasoline as “a great product” that had been “too cheap for too long.” “If they tell me it’s $4 a gallon, I walk in and pay them $8 a gallon. Shell deserves a little walking-around money.
I figure anyone who sells oil knows better than I do what to do with my money. As my grandmother used to say, the higher the gas price, the closer to God.” Leonardi went on to state that if anything made her unhappy, it was the fact that the prices weren’t even higher.
I kinda like high gas prices. But I’m an urbanist who understands that disincentivizing driving is good policy, not a MAGA.
(Attacking Iran is the stupidest possible way to increase them and is terrible in a bunch of other ways, of course.)
Houstonian living at the end of the Permian Basin pipeline and I gotta say… yeah. It’s kinda nice.
The Petrodollar Rides On! Old Saudi Arabia is dead. New Saudi Arabia is Texas.
In the meantime the price of fuel where I live $ 13 per gallon
