3 days ago I put gas in my car. At my usual Shell station in Burbank, California it was $6.29 a gallon (regular).
Today, 3 days later, at the same gas station, I put gas in my car. The price had gone up another 30 cents, to $6.59 a gallon. That's an increase of 4.7%. In 3 days.
That's an annualized inflation rate of more than 500 f-ing percent!
And, like the ancient Roman emperor, Nero, President Joe Biden fiddled while America burned.
LET'S GO, NERO!
