so fucking funny. climate change is the most pressing issue of our lives, almost everyone agrees and yet, Americans can’t seem to get their shit together. Literally no reason to buy an SUV, but here we are. Anybody that thinks we can still effectively halt climate change, smdh.

Hate I bought 2021 Denali since Biden will have gas over $4 in a few months

Gas has been cheap for almost a year now since there is reduced demand and overcapacity

This is why this country needs me as dictator. We try to have nice things, then special people decide they need a tank and ruin it for the rest of us. 🤦🏾‍♀️
