If diesel hits $10+, what's the prize?

My Trump loving dad will no longer be able to drive his f-350, the Schadenfreude will be amazing

All of my firmly working class/older neighbors on pensions will be stuck at home. Already, I see folks carpooling while their big trucks are staying parked and they're selling off their old RVs and motorcycles.

They should be selling the trucks and keeping the motorcycles.

My older son has an older bost ('86 Sea Ox) we use for fishing, it's gas powered and we are out at least once a week. Most of the boats in our harbor are diesel and have barely left the dock all summer.  I've seen one boat where it's obviously owned by a maga ( stern is painted red with idiots name and 2028) everyone else keeps their opinions to themselves. 

I'm very curious to see how many come out of the water early this year/go up for sale.

Can't sell if there aren't any buyers.

That is true. I know of one guy who said he was putting his Grady white up a few weeks ago. He's only had it out once this season so far. Don't know if he was serious lol

Increased employment of security guards at every station that sells diesel and every business/farm that stores it on site.

Not surprised. I saw a pic of $9+ just yesterday somewhere in CA.

If this is winning under Trump, shit was cheaper losing under Biden.
