The shit started to hitting the fan real quickly with fuel prices.

As a part-time farmer, I’m already starting to wonder if it's worth sowing grain this spring if I can't afford to harvest it because of the high price of diesel. Fertilizer prices are already going through the roof in Europe 

It's great that you Americans love your president but he's destroying the global economy faster than anyone else before and we all are just along for the ride.

Not stopping any farmers out here in illinois from gearing up in our taxes high as shit state.

Ill take complaints seriously when gas prices are higher then or as high as bidens 24 months in office still paying over 4.50 a gallon. 

 

These liberal shills and canuks weren't bitching about gas prices jumping when biden let putin walk right in to Ukraine for the second time under his and obamas watch.

Drove across NY state with the kids the last few days and currently in jersey ,highest I saw for regular was 3.90 and 5.25 for D-cell. Prices dropped about 20 cents just crossing into jersey. Headed to Philly today for a phillies game,I'll check the prices there too.

CNY to the toronto suburbs Friday/Sunday, it was pushing 5.99 for diesel near the thruway..... even local stations CNY area i've seen at 5.75-5.99 at this point. Saw 2.39 CAD/L in ontario (6.60 USD / Gal roughly...)

Saw diesel over 6 today but it was full serve just outside of philly.

Russia attacking Ukraine caused the oil price jump to $120 and today since we are at war its ranging in the $100 - $105 range with higher numbers expected.

Trump told other countries to get their own oil but didn’t they already do that???

Fuel was over 4 dollars a gallon before the Russian Ukraine war kicked off.

Unlike us here in the north, they don't need oil-fired grain dryers. With these fuel prices, there's just no profit left after drying

This is a year long project. Hopefully, once it kicks off, it lasts long enough to get through whatever the hell is going on now. 

We’re getting hammered on everything plumbing related. Copper, PVC, galvanized, ABS, Pex. The fixtures being imported (sinks, drinking fountains etc) have been climbing since the tariff BS started and, will continue to do so.

Gas by me, N. Illinois (not Chicago), was $3.89 yesterday. Today it jumped to $4.39. No gradual increase out here in the sticks. King Prickster is loving the extra fuel tax coming in.

Well one thing I can tell you is paying more for copper anything is nothing but a scam right now. My old lady works for one of if not the largest wire companies (in its field) in the us. Also has a smaller company to play in the other copper wire and tubing markets. 

They're paying a whopping 2.3-3.3% more then what they were paying for wire prior to tarriffs. They threaten to find other suppliers in the us if they charged them more. Yet their telling everyone single one of their customers their paying 8-10% and their getting a good deal at 9-11 percent. Their making money hand over fist on this one. She got an awesome Xmas bonus and commission check. 

If they're doing it you know wesco, graybar, Southside and belden are doing it as well.

With my business partner other businesse importing wood from around the world our costs haven't gone up a full 2-4% yet. Everyone of our vendors are happy to eat it to keep the bulk orders going. While every single luxury flooring and custom flooring company has jumped they're prices 6-10% he's holding steady and has close to 6% market growth as our competition is now significantly higher. We're on that Arizona ice tea program. Still making a significant profit so no reason to raise the prices.

Yesterday I payed $5.68 a gallon for diesel in northwest South Carolina. Before all this mess started, diesel was finally down to around $3.40. Up $2 bucks a gallon in a month 🤦🏼‍♂️

WOW! That’s  crazy. I actually saw gas in my area as low as $3.99 if you paid with cash and $ 4.09 with a credit card or debit. But then in another area it was over $5.50 for regular.

The line at the $3.99 per gallon station must have been 10 miles long!!! That’s nearly a full dollar cheaper than where I usually see some of the cheapest gas in Washington, in Quincy.

Ah, that might be a bit too far for them to make it worthwhile. They just bought a new place on Beacon Hill.
