re: #28 Lidane

Posted this morning by a friend of mine who is currently in Dubai on business:

Yes. Because the American POTUS has direct influence over what the emirate charges its own people for gasoline. And he can somehow magically make our gas prices comparable to theirs with a snap of his fingers. *eyeroll*

This is the sort of ignorance the GOP is appealing to, and why they’re so bound and determined to obstruct this president. They’ll obstruct to try and make him ineffective and then complain he doesn’t get anything accomplished. It’s maddening.

The average income for a Dubai worker in my same field is also about a third of what I make, adjusted for the local economy.
