While I applaud the government for stopping to credit card surcharges, since stores can't openly show them now, a local shop has simply increased their prices by 20 cents. The govt should have banned the banks from charging the merchants a fee. Fuck the banks! They are profitable enough.

Diesel in town today $2.99 per litre. Time to start looking at an EV in earnest, because that price isn't coming down anytime soon. If anything it will get higher. All thanks to the orange fuckwit in the US.

Think about it. The insane cost of fuel is principally because two narcissistic arseholes are desperate to avoid going to jail. One starts wars and kills innocent children to delay a corruption trial. The other starts wars to distract attention away from his participation in a paedophile ring.
