How are city buses run? On gas. Why have cities not bought electric vehicles? They cannot afford on a moments notice to replace an entire fleet of vehicles. Who rides buses? The rich? I don't think so, the poor. When bus rides go up in price who is hurt? Yep you got it, the poor.
Who is Biden hurting the most with his dumb policies, the poor.
Why does Biden hire black judges, Hispanic cabinet members? Because he is not racist. No, I think he does these things so he can hurt the poor more than they are already hurting but keep their support. I am in no way saying all minorities are poor, what I am saying is across America there are large minority communities that are poor,, and that typically they vote Democrat.
.....
People with money will survive the next 3 years, but will the poor? Biden is our nation's worst leader bar none in all of time.

If one does some indepth research/investigation one will discover that years ago many (if not most) metro areas shifted to electrical power for mass transportation (buses included) for environmental reasons, but also efficiency and maintenance.
A second point: Again in metro areas there are "well employed' folks who ride "shuttle" buses with no stops from the parking lot to "downtown" near their work, which is faster and less expensive than driving back and forth every day and paying for high-priced parking, which is great and less stressful if one doesn't need their vehicle during their work day ... and a lot don't.
Another FACT: Most (probably all) metro/governments bid for fuel on a contract basis for blocks of years at a set price, so as to survive those periods in which we are now experiencing, although this one may be one of those "exceptions" to a contracted amount that has a sliding scale, but still less ... and free of taxes that is added to our fuel at the pump.
Large corporations who rely on fueled-transportation (and deliveries), like WalMart/Sam's etc, have fuel contracts on the same basis as discussed for local/state governments....and the Feds. Their vehicles are fueled at their vehicle/transportation service centers at which they have fuel delivered based on their contract with the fuel supplier.
When you see WalMart/Sams et al raising their consumer product costs claiming "rising gas prices," they are simply gouging and hedging based on the "news" and more than likely are still operating on a contract made during the Trump administration when fuel was about a third or less per gallon. The contract's I've seen are 5+ years depending on the purchasing agency/entity. That's where "poor" people get fucked ... by the rich. At Walmart etc.
(Speaking of: Did EVERYONE see the stories (verified by the company) that the "Dollar" store warehouses had RAT INFESTATIONS .... RECENTLY. So not only were they selling fake labeled & foreign produced products to POOR PEOPLE, they product they sold were infested with RATS while being held at the warehouse before delivery. GOVERNMENTS' job to inspect product storage.)
As for poor people getting "hurt" ... IMO that was the focus of Mr. Trump to provide traditionally "poor groups" in our society AN OPPORTUNITY to be self-reliant and independent of government subsidies, which in the end would threaten the elected folks who have consistently attempted to assure their dependence on government, which facilitated their re-election, while they lived "high on the hog" on taxpayer money and "bonuses" from lobbyists and other groups wanting special favors from the government, which THE POOR PEOPLE NEVER GET.
That's why Mr. Trump was "offensive" to them. He was fucking up their gravy-train and institutionally established benefit programs. They don't want him or anyone like him back, because there are now FACTS, enhanced with pictures and videos, revealing the hypocrisy and deception of those for whom they voted in the past. That's why the current fools are drifting around 30% "approval" when their "victory" is (and was) touted as a "landslide"!
When Bitten took over on DAY ONE he shit-canned Mr. Trump's energy policies making us a Net Exporter of oil and gas. Not Putin. Not Europe. Not the Arabs who won't talk to Bitten on the phone. NOT ANYONE, BUT BITTEN AND KACKLE. Thank you to all those fools who voted for them.
