Memorial Day travel migraines worse in VT than NH

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

by the Journal-Opinion

Higher gas prices. More people on the road and in the skies. 

Despite the highest gas prices in four years, more Americans are expected to travel this weekend than last year, according to AAA.

At $4.48 per gallon, New Hampshire’s average gas price is below the national average of $4.55. Vermont’s is a hair above the national average at $4.56 per gallon.

On the other hand, maybe travel now while you can. Per the CNBC report linked to above, gas prices could hit $5 per gallon by June if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

  1. Memorial Day Weekend travel will be a picnic compared to July 4 weekend. The United States’ SPR is depleting at record pace; a Carlyle senior advisor predicted U.S. oil tanks will hit bottom in early July, at which point gas prices will go vertical. Just in time for our nation’s 250th birthday.

    All so a country on the other side of the world can’t get a nuke that they’ve been “only weeks away from getting” for the past 30 years.

    • That’s one way of looking at it. Another way is:

      The Iranian regime was installed by British Intelligence in order to be a source of chaos, war, and oil price pressure. The US was the Enforcer, bleeding resources to maintain a semblance of GLOBAL energy stability while Europe wined (whined) and dined, and the French retired at 50 on state pensions.

      The kinetic aspect is part of a larger deconstruction of the global financial system that has kept the US under the thumb of the British elites for centuries. Neutralizing this manifestation of the British Iranian project will let energy markets flourish while letting Europe reap the true consequences of its “green” de-industrialization policies.

      Have a nice holiday. Maybe this will help.

    • No, Tyler, it doesn’t help. You should lay off the hopium, because that’s what Promethean is– just a “Q” rebrand to keep people sitting on their hands watching “a show.” It sounds “authoritative” and real, but really it’s just a bunch of word salads about how things are only getting better while your own eyes and wallet can plainly see how things are getting worse. What they talk about isn’t nearly as important as what they don’t talk about.

      It’s not much different than the Operation Trust psyop a century ago in Russia. You should look up that one.

    • National headlines this morning these will be the highest gas prices in 4 years! Let’s see who was President 4 years ago? Also, remember paying $4.90’s in 2008 under which Democrat President, remember this because I was driving over 50,000 miles a year on business paying out of pocket with a limit to the schedule C deduction. AAA is reporting this will still be the record highest number of cars on highways for Holiday travel this weekend. The national average is pulled up due to high gasoline taxes in large totally Blue States, Cali for example. Oh, strange you mention SPR, during President Trumps first term, while oil prices were low due to poor consumption during COVID, Dems in Congress blocked his attempt to refill them, not to mention Joe Biden draining to lower prices during election months.

    • Ron, I don’t waste my time arguing Red vs Blue or Dem vs Repub. I’m nonpartisan, and the things you mentioned unfortunately do nothing to disprove my original post. Americans are heading for severe economic pain because of this war, and it won’t be limited to gas prices. A lot of farmers aren’t planting this year, or are planting less because of high diesel and fertilizer prices. So we can add groceries to the list as well, once this year’s harvests hit stores.

    • Dr. David Morens was indicted on April 28th, charged with conspiracy against the United States, destruction and falsification of federal records, and a failure of basic operational security— all connected to a scheme to conceal his communications about EcoHealth’s Wuhan research grants from FOIA requests.

      80% of the leadership of NIAID that ran their part of the covid op and reported directly to Fauci are now gone. Dr. Ralph Baric (“Gain of function”) of UNC has been defunded and is officially “retiring” as of June 1.

      Those are facts.

      All the black pillers have been moaning that the idea that the covid conspiracy would ever see the light of day and be prosecuted was “Hopium”.

      Some might argue that much of the black pilling is also an op to put the brakes on the MAGA pro-American populist agenda. Just sayin’.

      Have a nice weekend.

    • Yawn. Just a little red meat they throw out to satisfy the base. Call me when Fauci himself is indicted. Or anyone in the Ep files, for that matter (which is a big list).

      Meanwhile, the mRNA shots are still available and DT still defends Warp Speed. Buyer beware.

    • “Also, remember paying $4.90’s in 2008 under which Democrat President” Ron Bootlick, George W Bush was President in 2008 when gas was $4.90 a gallon for the same reason that its almost 5 bucks today, that neo-conservatives can’t not mess around in the Middle East. Check your memory, Obama was ELECTED in 2008 and what this country wouldn’t give to have him back right now.

      From Wikipedia, “Barack Hussein Obama II[a] (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017.”

  2. ADMIN: Isn’t there a page rule against name calling and disparaging those that make comments?

    • Given the time stamp, it looks like someone maybe had a trendy cocktail, the “Raging Poster”:

      Equal parts Vodka, Red Bull, and Maureen Dowd.
      Add sour mix and soda
      Shake extremely violently
      Chug straight from the shaker in a single gulp
      Hit the keyboard and let it all come up

    • Hey Tyler, if I was pouring anything, it was called the “Snowflake”

      Find two true believers that live in information bubbles
      Laugh at their regurgitated talking points (3rd MAGA sheep this week I’ve had to point out Obama wasn’t President in 2008)
      Point out the ridiculousness of their arguments
      Don’t think about them again because you’re not in a cult

      You should try it, thinking for yourself, not the cocktail lol

  3. Violate community standards, denigrate the last name of someone who has the courage to put his full name to his words, unlike you, and be mocked.

    I’ve seen your full last name, and was tempted to make the obvious riffs on it, but I didn’t want to stoop to your level.

  4. Who was president in 1973 when people were shocked and horrified when gas went from 35 cents a gallon to 50 cents a gallon. Of course the minimum wage was $1.65 per hour.

  5. I see this site has a sophomoric High School mentality by some with strong TDS reminding me of the saying “the flak is heaviest when you are over the target”. When I was driving to High School paid 25 cents per gallon at Gulf station.
