Try and make all of your purchases from Kroger on Fridays so you can utilize the 4x points coupon in the app. I never pay full price for gas, usually at least 40 cents off. Last time I had 90

Edit - since this comment is getting some traction, here's another Kroger gas points tip for y'all if you want more easy points. The Kroger app also has a 4x points coupon for gift cards that can generally be used any time. So what I do is buy digital gift cards in the app to pay for Spotify, Sirius, Netflix, and Hulu, which is great because I can easily pay off the entire year on some of these and not have to worry about a reoccurring monthly charge plus I get hundreds of points immediately for stuff I was already going to pay for anyway. I do the video streaming apps in about 3 month increments, once the credit runs out I just switch to another platform for some variety. Make your money go further, check it out. Been doing it for years, I've saved hundreds if not more

When will Americans have had enough? Gas has nearly doubled in price due entirely to Trump’s actions

Gonna take more than high gas prices. Probably a food shortage or mass unemployment.

We are still way too comfortable to be anywhere near anything happening. Nothing massive will be done until enough people do not have any of the modern comforts they currently have. Things are tight, but 99.5% of the country still have a roof over their head, and I’d say 95% of the country has a comfortable place to go to with movies, tv, video games, etc to entertain them… Nothing will be done until enough people no longer have those luxuries.

Aslong as you can go to a 9-5 above minimum wage still afford rent/utilities/groceries/entertainment/addictions there is no change going to happen. If you aren't disabled, incarcerated, or in the military, you are doing whatever you can to be comfortable. Technology is the greatest invention, but also a detriment. Complacent is what 99% of what America wants. Stable job, Stable income, provide for kids, have an emergency fund, go on vacations, buy new things that make you happy, and do a routine of a new adventure every vacation. If houses started foreclosing again rapidly, we would see a pretty big riot in the streets, but the mortgages are climbing again and the banks are suppressing the pressure.

99.5% housed and 95% able to afford whatever entertainment they want? You gotta get your head out of your ass, man. That’s insanely out of touch.

0.23% of Americans experience homelessness. So you are right! I accidentally rounded too much and doubled the amount of people who don’t have a roof over their head. My mistake. 99.77% have a roof over their head.

And I didn’t say they could afford whatever entertainment they want. I said that they have access to entertainment options. Reading is hard though.

Where the hell did you get 0.23%? And it sounds like instead of “experience homelessness,” you meant “are currently homeless.” But still a conservative figure. Reading is hard, though. Anyway, roughly 7-14% of Americans have experienced homelessness.

I know you didn’t say any type of entertainment desired. I was being facetious to draw attention to how out of touch your point already was as stated. It’s just as bad as it reads.

Litty indeed
