You can't be serious? Try to find a story about Hunter, Afghanistan, or the southern border in any serious publication, or serious network.
And Fox, and NY Post are seriously not credible to anyone with a triple digit IQ.

In the early 1970's OPEC placed an oil embargo on the United States causing shortages and price inflation.
Nixon's response was to Nationalize the speed limit to 55 miles per hr.
When I'm on the interstate doing the 70 limit I'm continually pasted by these dangerous diesel driving lunatics...
I can only imagine the MEGA response if Biden slowed all diesel traffic to 55...
A better response would be to fast track AI Trucking and limit them to 55 as they run 24/7 there actually would be a gain in delivery time while saving fuel.
One of the benefits of the 55 speed limit it not only reduced the number of deadly accidents significantly, this saved US all money by reducing Insurance costs saving lives and reducing debilitating injuries..
a few Stats
QUOTE Over 40,000 fatal car accidents per year in the U.S.
Each day, more than 90 Americans die in car accidents.
On average, 2 million drivers experience a permanent injury every year.
Almost 8,000 people are killed in traffic accidents involving drivers aged 16-20.
The most common causes of death on the road are drunk driving (40%), speeding (30%), and irresponsible driving (33%).
Some 58% of fatal car accidents involve only one vehicle, and 38% are caused by a traffic collision.
When it comes to fatal car accidents by state, most occurred in Texas and California during 2018.
According to the statistics, most fatal injuries happen during weekends.
Each year, more than 1,600 children younger than 15 die in traffic accidents.

pretty hard to get anybody on the same page these days on anything
can't imagine what a task it would be to get that old WWII victory garden, rationing , lets work together, etc spirit going today
but a concerted effort and addressing a basically glutenous consumption of energy, would seem like prudent smart thing to do.
ultimately people will come up with ideas and solutions to deal with the gas gouging situation
AI trucks, alt fuel cars, scooters, more use of SKYPE type interactions
and stuff that hasn't even been invented yet . . but will be
as the traditional sources of energy monopolies leave the main stage
they're going to get their licks in and gouge us all imo
which has been written about and talked about for decades now hah

^^good luck with the AI trucks
Kernal, you do realize most trucks are tracked with GPS, constant speeding will get you fired.
National average diesel hit $5.56 this am, how do you like paying for that?

IMO the biggest problem is the “only looking out for ME” attitude will be humanity’s downfall

if they only allowed quality items to be trucked around
that would reduce the trucks on the road quite dramatically

QUOTE you do realize most trucks are tracked with GPS, constant speeding will get you fired.
There must be a number of independent owner operators running illegal radar equipment and exceeding the posted limit.
You guys all have the same mentality, "Governments not telling ME how fast I can drive".....
QUOTE National average diesel hit $5.56 this am, how do you like paying for that?
Nixon actually put a nation wide price freeze in place on oil because of the OPEC embargo..
He'd also did a prior price/wage freeze in 1971 because of inflation..
Carter is often blamed for inflation that occurred during the Nixon and Ford Presidencies..
For you fuel is a Tax write-off
