Without the backing of Congress, President Trump sent the military to Iran, spiking the price of gas. The $3.89, which I hope is a short-term price, has a straightforward explanation. As far as the public\u2019s response, I hope those responsible for the 2021 stickers give some thought to their motives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2021, we on our way to our lake place in Northern Wisconsin and stopped for gas.
