so this is a bonanza for some specific parts of the Republican coalition, bad news for most other people (including Trump), and the kind of thing that starts to structurally change economies.

we've reached a new milestone- the U.S. average diesel price has hit $6.301/gal while gasoline is up to $4.355/gal. I expect both of these to jump noticably over the next 48 hours. diesel could hit $6.60/gal in a few days, surpassing the inflation-adjusted peak seen in 2022.

Diesel is at $6 a gallon here in north Mississippi. Everything else is pretty much downstream of that
