JD Vance has said Americans should comfort themselves with the fact that allies are "suffering more than we are" from soaring gas and oil prices.

The worst and most stupid bit is this:

Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”

He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”

Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.

      We all have more access to misinformation. The problem is that most people in the US have no critical thinking skills.

        This is by design. Conservatives get outraged if you try to add critical thinking classes to school curriculum.
