I just paid $2.89 for gas...
Usd for a gallon right? Blows my mind how cheap your fuel is.
It's literally a dollar cheaper at my Costco compared to the typical gas chains.
Seems a little...
Suspicious.
To be clear, even a dollar more is still comparatively cheap. I'm Australian and we're about $2 AUD / L, which is roughly USD$5/gal, and I know Europe and New Zealand are more expensive than us.
It's about $4.3/gal for petrol in Punjab, India
This is an edited tweet, but the timestamp is from March 2022, which was shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. I think gas prices did go up at that point, but it was still idiotic for conservatives to blame Democrats in the United States for the economic fallout of a war in another continent.
I paid 2.31 today
Subsidized by your government
Lots of things are subsidized by the government. Almost every basic need of a society is subsidized in the US.
Not once Trump's in charge, I'm guessing.
It's still 5.19 around Seattle
Same. Prices are down or steady. This guy is making an issue where there isn't one for political points. And people will believe it!
And people will believe it!
This is a fake tweet by the way.
You have to chug it Charlie. You can’t tell the difference unless you chug it. Go ahead… we’ll wait right here.
Bon appetit.
He should try the spicy gasoline. Got to try it real hot.
Imagine a new kind of shrinkflation where instead of the portion reducing, it's the taste of the food that becomes weaker.
There is a surprising amount of products where both has been happening - some of them also getting more expensive.
That's what's happening with bell peppers and giant strawberries, isn't it?
Or tomatoes. They don't deliberately grow them bigger and more watery, but they did breed them for transport and automated harvest for decades. So now we have wooden, watery tomatoes that taste of nothing.
Also for appearance, they look perfectly round and red so people buy them, instead of the retarded looking half green tomatoes from the farmers market that taste amazing.
Jokes aside this is a real instinct of great chefs - taste everything. I remember seeing a documentary with Gordon Ramsay in which he visited Middle America and investigated the drug trade. In a scene some drug cook mixed diesel fuel with raw cocaine and Ramsay - clearly without thinking- dipped his finger in and tasted it. Instant regret, but he really couldn't help himself :)
what
gordon ramsay tasted coke on cam?
Could we make a real thing please? Charlie really needs to know how gas tastes.
Like..... voluntarily?
Reminder, Sean Hannity still hasn't made good on his promise to be waterboarded on live tv to prove it isn't torture.
Well… I’d volunteer to force-feed him the gasoline if that’s what you mean.
Getting uncomfortable Three Kings vibes here. I mean fuck Charlie Kirk but ick...
Oh it’s just internet hyperbole. I’m not a violent person no matter how much I detest people like him.
