I genuinely hope that everyone I see on the street driving what I refer to as “tiny dick trucks” (the vast majority of whom are Trump voters) suffers enormously from this.
I mean, this entire country is going to suffer, but I have a certain schadenfreude anyway.

His employer is a jerk. Regardless of gas prices, a job that requires travel should have the cost borne by the employer… either a company car that they put gas in, or via mileage reimbursement.

I commute 50min to the office three times per week. If gas prices keep climbing I’m going to need to find ways to not do that or I’m going to have to find another job. The problem is that in this economy, there may not be other jobs.

I realize there are outliers and exceptions, but is the average commuter really struggling to spend an extra $40-50 a month on gas?
The guy in this article took a job with absurd expectations. Using his personal truck to drive 20,000+ miles a year? With no company stipend or reimbursement? Honestly, an extra 30% in gas prices is the least of this guy’s problems. It’s just another problem to add to existing stack.
