🇮🇪Ireland 🇮🇪
The nation currently on the verge of running out of fuel - well not due to lack of supply, but due to nationwide protests! ⛽
The people of Ireland have blocked major ports, fuel depots, roads etc to stop the delivery of petrol and diesel.
Why?
Because the cost is stretching everyone to their financial limits.
For context for my American friends, we pay per litre:
€2.10 - €2.20 for diesel
€1.89 - €1.98 for unleaded petrolThere is roughly 4 litres in a gallon. Meaning that, depending where you are, we are paying roughly $10 per gallon. So, thousands have blocked the majority transport routes causing mass panic and forecourts closing or limiting fuel per customer.
The government refuse to lower the taxes (which per litre, is something like 60% in taxes)...
What's the current situation in your country? How are people responding?
Genuinely curious to hear how everyone is dealing with the current prices!

It's a little under $4 a gallon where I was, but was staying around 2.50-2.80 before the war started. My state is one of the cheapest though

@Simcoe, get your head out of your ass and stop playing this game if you are only here to comment on forums.

Fair fucking play to everyone that’s out now, great to see. They left a toilet and a mobile home on the motorway at a block near me for everyone out protesting.
When the government is taking a stance of “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” (they haven’t gone as far as to say this to be clear) and using the defence forces to clear a peaceful protest, there’s a problem. I think everyone should vote Sinn Féin in the next election just to scare the two big parties into actually listening.
