In other news, yesterday it took me $58.38 to fill up the ~15 gal. (~60 l) gas tank of my 2009 car.
That's $20 more than it was a few months ago...say, Januaryish.
Hmm. I fucking wonder why.
Spouse drives a small pickup. Last night we decided he's going to get back to cycling to & from work.
Long-term, this situation is untenable. We've got massive medical bills.
Yesterday, our president said he doesn't care about Americans' financial woes.

Wednesday’s vote is the first time lawmakers have considered a bill to end the #IranWar since that deadline passed earlier this month.

The #Consumer Price Index rose 3.8% in April from a year earlier, the Labor Dept reported Tuesday, up from a 2.4% annual increase before the conflict started in February & a 3.3% increase in March.
The increase was driven largely by #energy prices, up 3.8% since the previous month. Stripping out volatile food & energy prices, the index rose 2.8% in April.

#Inflation shot up 3.8% in April as #TrumpsWar greatly increased #energy costs
#Consumer #prices in the #UnitedStates rose at the fastest rate since May 2023 last month, as sharp increases in energy costs caused by #war in the #MiddleEast made #life more expensive for #US consumers.

Far from demonstrating American prowess, as supporters of the #war have repeatedly claimed, the conflict has revealed a #US that is unreliable & incapable of finishing what it started. That is going to set off a chain reaction around the world as friends & foes adjust to the #UnitedStates’ failure.

Brutally honest analysis of Trump’s failure in #Iran & its impact on the #US & #GlobalOrder from Robert Kagan
Checkmate in Iran
It’s hard to think of a time when the #UnitedStates suffered a total defeat in a conflict, a setback so decisive that the strategic loss could be neither repaired nor ignored.
