    Diesel is over $7/gal, it’s fucking wild out here.

    I got a big pay bump last October and I felt like for the first time since the 00’s I was finally out of the “just getting by” pay curve for Bay Area California and then this Iran war shit happens and now everything including gas is more expensive, clawing back all the gains I’ve made.

    At least there’s a chance things might go back to normal if this shit ever ends, but I expect that prices are going to stay high long after the justification for raising them vanishes, just like with inflation.

      I left California 35 years ago and never looked back. The prices were too high then, and have gotten exponentially worse since. The people are all fake and full of themselves.
