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.

    You should be ok with the fact that you need a car to live. You shouldn’t live where this is the case.

      If 15 minute cities ever become a reality and i can walk to work/the shops/doctors/pub etc then I’ll glady give up the car.

      That isn’t the case and I’d rather not move house thanks
