    Maybe if they disenfranchise more black voters it’ll magically go down.

      I’m worried there will be some fucked up deal to have it suddenly all at least temporarily under control within the weeks ahead, getting Republicans favor again.

    So what prevents the rest of the states from declaring a state of emergency and voiding the 24.4 cents for diesel, and 18.4 cents for standard fuel that is taxed by the federal government?
