Alright, folks, buckle up, because the pain at the pump just got REAL. Gas in Commiefornia is officially over $6 a gallon. SIX DOLLARS! You could practically drink a craft beer for that price. What's next, trading your car for a donkey?

Remember when they told us 'green' policies would save the planet AND our wallets? Turns out, they mostly save the wallets of virtue-signaling elites while the rest of us are stuck paying out the nose just to get to work. Thanks, Gavin Newsom, you glorious overlord of woke virtue.

This isn't just about the US-Iran kerfuffle, although that certainly isn't helping. This is about California's obsession with emissions standards so strict they make Al Gore blush. It's about high taxes that punish drivers for the audacity of, you know, driving. And it's about relying on imported oil like a bunch of dependent soyboys.

Remember Miguel Angel Cruz, the landscaping dude who now pays $80 instead of $50 to fill up his truck? He's the real victim here. He's not virtue signaling, he's just trying to earn a living. But hey, who cares about the working class when you're busy lecturing everyone about their carbon footprint from your Tesla?

Newsom's blaming Trump? Classic. It's always someone else's fault. Never mind that his own policies are driving businesses out of the state faster than you can say 'tax evasion'. Never mind that he's creating a two-tiered society where the rich can afford to drive their electric chariots while the rest of us are stuck riding bikes uphill both ways.

The AAA survey about Route 66? Pure cope. Nobody's road-tripping anywhere when it costs more to fill up the tank than to stay in a five-star hotel. The only people celebrating Route 66's centennial are the gas station owners.

Exxon and Chevron's earnings are down? Don't shed a tear. They'll survive. It's the small businesses and the working stiffs who are getting screwed. They're the ones who are going to have to choose between gas and groceries.

So, what's the solution? Ditch the woke policies. Drill, baby, drill. Cut the taxes. And maybe, just maybe, we can get gas prices back down to a level where we can afford to drive to In-N-Out Burger without taking out a second mortgage. Until then, keep your head down and your gas tank full…if you can afford it, that is.
