JD Vance has said Americans should comfort themselves with the fact that allies are "suffering more than we are" from soaring gas and oil prices.

The worst and most stupid bit is this:

Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”

He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”

Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.

    A mini.

    I might have the sums wrong, but we are on the octopus EV tariff so electricity is dirt cheap overnight.

    Also 0.01p is 1p. Should have put the pound sign instead lol

    But yeah, its insane how cheap it is.

    The only kicker is her car costs £100 a month in payments more than mine.

      It’s interesting seeing how mine, ionic 5, compares to others in real life. Only reason I got mine was is was one of the few cars somebody could sit behind me, with seat front seat Ben comfortable for driving.

      I’ve got the first service 40k miles soon, compared to my wife’s at 10-12k, but realistically 6k for the oil, stupid HDi diesel engine

        She has the Aceman that is 5-door so I think you can sort of fit people in the back seat but it isnt comfortable for tall people. No boot space at all though.

        But it is very fun to drive!
