Surprisingly this NBC report admits the obvious. The national price of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline is projected to hit $6.00/gal by Labor Day. Some states like California are already exceeding that amount, with reports that some CA gas stations are near $10/gal. WATCH (1:08 sec):

This is necessary for the Green New Deal to succeed. You didn’t ask for it, or want it, but you’re gonna get it….
It’s absolutely shocking what’s going on with our electric grid! Here’s the Number 1 reason for power shortages in Democrat cities this summer:

Lol! Darwin strikes again!
I figured someone would figure that out. Totally insane!
whoops!
He eventually got properly grounded.
He probably didn’t know the formula for electric current:
Electrical Potential or Voltage Formula in DC Circuits.
V = I x R
V = P / I
V = √ (P x R)
…but he certainly knew how an electric bug zapper works!
Oh my gosh!
The only question is which orifice it’s going to be shoved in.
It’s necessary but over a 10-15 year span so alternatives may become available.
Having this happen over two years by executive office fiat is a political disaster on a foundation made if sand and will set the green new deal back a generation.
You are thinking of this as if they want improvements. This is a top down bottom up death grip to the American economy and this admin or whatever group of people are running the show want it. They want implosion on every level.
At some point saner heads have to step in and charge the cabal with treason
Ha…..yeah right. Who will step up to the plate?
Implosion indeed….we are the carbon they aim to reduce!
They want us dead.
It isn’t necessary at all. We have abundant coal and natural gas and could certainly build more nuclear plants.
I completely agree with you. I am saying rising gas prices are necessary for the communists’ plan. They are just shooting themselves in the foot moving too quickly.
Ok, I’ll bite. Why is it necessary??
It’s the justification for the communists to pursue their agenda that nobody wants.
The Power Elites don’t have to worry about losing another election. On a national level they (Uni-Party) can n will always win the Presidency. On the State level with Open Primaries, Dominion machines run by corrupt County n City Election boards n workers, most States will be unwinnable by ‘We The People’ candidates.
The Republic is lost accept it.
Political disaster?
Like the planned famines in the old Soviet Union?
Screw political disaster, this is premeditated murder!
….and youll own nothing.
And be happy. FJB
Wreck the country so bad it can’t get fixed for the ’24 elections. Something along that line. With our do nothing Congress, it might not get fixed in what’s left of my lifetime.
Kind of like rape, huh?
The Green New Dealers originally said that gasoline and other energy prices had to reach “parity” with Green New Deal prices in order for it to work.
Every action they have taken, every lie they have told, is to drive energy prices intentionally higher so as to force people into their Green New Deal.
They know exactly what they are doing, and they will do it no matter how badly it harms the entire nation.
Of course it goes without saying, but I’m gonna say it…….I *WONDER* how many democrat friends and family have been heavily investing in Green New Deal stuff so as to take advantage of it when it’s forced upon the country?
No.
The idea is to USE the GND bs to deliberately wreck the nation.
The environment has nothing to do with it.
It’s all about power, and their desire to rule over the ruins once the nation is destroyed.
There’s only one viable option at this point: States where sanity and integrity still prevail need to commence the process to gain their independence and assert their right to self-determination. The Texas Nationalist Movement is leading the effort in Texas.
texitnow.org
tnm.me
There are similar movements in other States. New Hampshire might beat Texas to the exit.
No.
There will be no running for the exits.
They cannot have my country and I sure as hell ain’t just giving it to them.
States need conservative legislators, Sheriffs, AGs, Governors to get elected. Then they need to reassert States’ Rights.
Extreme Federalism is now the urgent goal. It cannot wait any longer.
The fight has to be local.
There is more of us than there are of them. That being said, I’m in CA and a city council meeting election was overturned in Compton, LA county. The low hanging fruit first… It was in the LATimes May 30, 2022. Six arrested…
“There is more of us than there are of them. ”
Call it mis- or call it dis- ,
They will control us using the same method the Ruling Elites have throughout history – FOOD.
Our energy secretary, Jennifer Granholm is invested in electric vehicles.
If it is mean for me to say this. . .
I hope that the folks who are happy and content in their belief that FBJ was legitimately elected then I hope they they and their families suffer the most throughout his catastrophic occupancy of the White House.
. . .then I won’t say it.
FJB!
I totally agree with you. They deserve to suffer for putting the rest of us through this.
Unfortunately Rob InPA we’re all going to go through this hell together. I fight with myself constantly on this very issue. I can tell you this, we will be infinitely more prepared. Though if things get to a certain point not sure how prepared one can be. I just posted a link from a Green Party. Seems like he gets the gist of where this is heading. I highly doubt this author nor anyone like him voted for FJB anyway. They’re old school libs and I can tolerate them to some degree. But these people who fell for the crap propaganda about Trump, Russia, Ukraine, Covid, etc you just can’t help but to laugh at them. On one hand I dread it but on the other hand it must happen nonetheless. Might as well smile as this really takes off.
I understand that, but I want the hit to their families and loved ones to be of a magnitude much much worse than mine, and then I will heartily laugh in their faces when they are sobbing uncontrollably in their self-inflicted misery.
F them. That’s where I’m at.
BITTERLY. COLD. ANGER.
Well a few of them are going to feel it pretty soon when the work from home comes to a screeching halt after the curtain has been pulled back by Mr. Musk
IF he shows WFH productivity went straight down over the last two + years, ALL the large companies will have to reveal their similar numbers (fiduciary duty to investors blah, blah, blah.)
He has been pulling back a few curtains lately……already getting action from a tweet this morning about Epstein
these idiots will just blame it all on the war in Ukraine, they ain’t deep thinkers
I no longer care if it’s mean. I’m entitled to my feelings.
Let’s put it this way: they were warned. Everybody was warned.
#TrumpWasRightAgain
FJB very much.
I wish no ill on anyone, but there is one thing in life that seems to be real. Karma has a nasty habit of biting one’s rear end often. In that world, time is measured differently. Every action has an equal reaction.
Me either Pa Hermit, and “Karma’s a bitch.” as they say, but a ‘war’ has been declared on We The People whose goal it is to destroy the country and our lives as we know it and the lives of our children and the lives their children, and those who support such aggression deserve no quarter.
Not if their families are innocent. Otherwise, yes, I agree.
Sometimes that is the only way for some people to learn.
A green economy is a slave economy.
The elites will only get richer, before, during and after the collapse.
Russia is laughing all the way to the bank as they sell huge quantities of oil to India and China at record prices. Take it one step further, the United States is actually financing Russia’s war on Ukraine. Another royal ef’up by Team Biden.
Boris Johnson gets 148 votes to hit the road in his own party caucus! FJB is the most unpopular president since Carter. Sparklesocks can’t show his face in public. The land of OZ has a new PM …
Putin isn’t simply laughing all the way to the bank. He keeps repeating the same mantra over and over again en route …
“…………………………………………………………..” (Fill in the blank.)
All the enemies of the West are laughing
Yep. This is why I despise these morons with their Ukraine flags. They know nothing.
I don’t despise those ignorant, insecure virtue signalers but their flags tell me everything I need to know about them. I won’t waste a moment of my life interacting with them.
Should get Ukrainian Flag with this…lemmings would buy them
фуцк де біден
Hint last two letters of first word should provide..a clue to the phrase
The flags that irk me the most are the ones that say “Pray for Ukraine.” I’m like, you’d best be praying for the USA, because we’re the ones going down.
I try to pray for every innocent person who is being harmed by the evil, satanic powers behind all of this planned suffering, no matter where in the world they are.
The $10 one is a Chevron in Mendocino. You can see it’s prices regularly on gasbuddy.com. The next high prices are usually in Beverly Hills and parts of SF.
It’s only going to get worse though and at some point there will be no going back either.
L.A. and San Diego are sky high.
Sacramento, good luck finding anything under $6.50, with $7+ showing up near downtown.
Sacramento is $6.09 today
Monterey county…$6.99 today.
We paid $5.70 today at an Arco station in Long Beach, CA. ( but all the others in our area were about a dollar more).
So we are getting the Green New Deal rammed up our keesters and down our throats from both directions. That 15% ethanol will cost more AND destroy our engines faster. Lovely.
I’m really glad that Mitch McConnell and his Uniparty RINOs have hit the news media and social media to loudly protest this blatant move by the OBidenCrats. Oh, wait, they haven’t?
They are in full agreement because they are all making money off it.
There’s an easy answer, no one should buy the crap gasoline. No one that comments here will buy this if possible, is my guess, but there are millions of
peoplemindless sheep that will follow directions/orders because they are afraid to stand up and say no. Losers.IF given a choice, of course most of us will choose to NOT buy it.
But do you SERIOUSLY believe the CommieCrats intend on giving us a choice???
When have they EVER given us a choice in following their communist-styled totalitarian mandates since January 20, 2021?
There will very soon be no choices to reject any of these “green” mandates.
Sideways, as Mom would say.
And without any vaseline….
Trudeau prefers sand in the Vaseline.
And people are supposed to pretend this is normal or okay. Could you imagine the turmoil in the media and on the streets if this happened when President Trump was in office.
The only place you’ll see Newt on TV is Fox.
It will be ok until is is personally catastrophic. Wait until a big blue city has an extended power outage in extreme heat, limited vehicles with a/c and possibly limited deliveries due to lack of fuel, and refrigerator contents spoil (not covered by insurance). People will be hot and hungry, food banks which are are already running low and store stocks are going to be lower. Now it is only babies short on food. When it is half the city of Detroit or DC or Portland, there will be unimaginable turmoil.
Drove by about 10 gas stations today (Texas). All were $4.49/gallon. On way home, one of them had increased their price to $4.59. Ten cents in 3 hours.
Same here in AZ.
Talking to relative in NC on Friday. Gas here was 4.43. Saturday it was 4.57.
$4.69 southern AZ — Love’s Travel Stop
In NW suburban Chicago most prices are at $5.55 / gallon (reg) but I drove by one station today that jumped .40 in one day listing at $5.99. I am sure the rest are soon to follow. This is insane.
Yeah Ms Tea that’s why I drive to Wisconsin. It’s sad, but I’m really close to the border.
Yeah I’ve experienced that. I go to Costco in Wisconsin. I usually buy before going in. I was in line one day as they were increasing the price. FJB
I don’t know just how serious they even are about fixing the problem. Got this link from another Treeper Larry. Its from a former Green Party Mayor Candidate in NY. Some of his opinions about Capitalism I don’t care for; granted we should have stopped this inverse Fascist takeover from the shadows. That’s hindsight being 20/20 I suppose. One thing to note about this author is that I have a strange feeling his facts are dead on. This seems like a regime that are gearing up for war. The war will be on their own citizens. Yeah they have been waging it for a while, but its getting ready to really crank up. There’s just no way this is all coincidence (WAR section).

I hope our side has better snipers.
When , Oh when do Patriots and Christians mobilize? It must be SOON!
Oh how I shudder at the phrase “Fundamentally Change” America. How everybody seemed to let this guy slide through makes more sense now.
Thanks for posting this.
Book-marked for reading later when I am not seething with Cold Anger.
They really hate the middle class.
They hate life, all life.
$5.29 here south of Chicago in the Heartland. People are not driving. Some have switched to motorcycles as it’s summer. Over $100 a tank is waaayyy to much for most everyone, even the neighborhood Karens with their 7,000 lb SUV’s are complaining.
Wonder how many truckers will go bankrupt
They have declared war on us, our culture, the middle class. We need to declare war on them
None they will past the cost along.
Yeah I’m seeing a lot more scooters out and about.
I’m already paying $7 a gallon for diesel here on the coast of California. Sky is the limit…
Diesel is the one that really troubles me. You throw that in there with a very depleted harvest due to fertilizer shortages. I refuse to believe this is all ideology. Seems more like a plan to me. Liawatha and AOC are simply useful idiots to take the fall. These WEF types are not playing. After Trump and Brexit and the rise of Populism its full throttle. They’re moving fast and prone to mistakes. They just made one in the Ukraine tho some of their objectives were met (decreased food, energy, fertilizer, etc) making Russia’s economy fold didn’t work. I can only hope they don’t decide to do something crazy and flip over the chessboard. Sending long range missiles into Ukraine I am not so certain they aren’t getting close. Putin and the Russian military has got to be on hair trigger standby. I believe he suspects the West is going to do something crazy he may throw the first blow and it will be nasty. That’s what I would do; hit first and hit hard.
You are correct to be especially concerned about diesel prices because that directly affects prices of most goods on which we rely. I use diesel because I am a retired person on a fixed income and wanted to buy a car that could last for longer than most combustion engines.
I drive regularly between California and Texas, where half of my grandchildren now live. Their folks moved to Texas at the beginning of the Covid nonsense. I’m concerned about my trip next week. I will pay whatever it takes to get back to Texas, but I am worried about rationing that could slow my travel down. I have a feeling once I get to Texas I won’t be able to come back to my family and home in California for a really long time.
That breaks my heart. It’s sickening to think these politicians sit there and blame everyone, but themselves. May God bless you with safe travels and great gas deals there and back.
Prayers for your travels…God Bless.
I have a friend who splits her time between Florida, where her husband must live due to health reasons, and Montana, which is better for her own health.
At least if she gets stuck in one or the other state, she’ll be in a politically “safe” place.
I feel bad for you. Texas is politically safer than California, but half of your family is in CA.
Any way they can be persuaded to move to TX?
You can add Canadian Convoy to Trump and Brexit as an excuse to put their plan into overdrive.
I figure on an EMP.
No reason to think the national babbling company report is accurate, they lie for a living. My guess is we will be at 6 before the July 4th holiday.
Exactly right, IMO.
Their key operating phrases for most things, that we the people, should be expecting is: “unexpected” and/or “unanticipated” results.
It’s their way of thinking they are “buffering” us from the really bad news (i.e., the truth), while simultaneously exuding their front of being “incompetent“.
FJB.
CT hit over $5/gal this past weekend 😡
And that is with the suspension of the gas tax till December.
What do they want for home heating oil in Connecticut on the 12 month plan?
It wasn’t enough they Stole the Election or Pillaged & Plundered the US Treasury, the Thieves are coming to take Every bit of savings from you, they are Robbing Everything & Everyone.
chuckling, even though none of this is amusing. The rest of my thoughts I will keep to myself.
This ‘Green’ nonsense won’t stop until we get the voters to realize that CO2 does NOT cause Global Warming (or ‘Climate Change’). It’s a hoax, designed to turn all of your life over to the State.
What does the ‘Green New Deal’ really mean? It means giving up your nice little house and lawn in the suburbs, and moving into hulking, grey apartment buildings in the city and doing what you are told. The ‘Green’ energy system won’t support anything more.
Which public figure will dare to speak this truth to the American people? I know who should: his initials are DJT.
And retired people may become disposable.
A lot were during covid. Ask Andrew “Send them to the permanent retirement home” Cuomo.
Cheapest electric car is 30K. Battery changes will range between 6-20K, depending on the vehicle. Charging takes to long and is limited, so forget about a long trip. Manufacturing waste and pollution is just shifted from the individual to manufacturing and power plants.
There’s no way this catches on…except by force.
Manufacturing will also be shipped overseas to countries without OSHA or EPA regulations- NIMBY
Oil and gas is exported, the parts are shipped back for assembly.
Politicians pat themselves on the back and virtue signal about how green they are.
Meanwhile 100 Uyghurs die in a mine accident and are quickly replaced by another 100 Uyghurs.
“Get used to shortages.”
Shortages of food… electricity… heat… A/C… going places… doing things…
I am not holding my breath that there will be batteries for replacement. The manufacturer and union make more money when the vehicle model is planned for obsolescence in 5-7 years.
It is impossible for us to produce enough electricity to power a national fleet of electric vehicles without burning fossil fuels.
It is also impossible to transport that amount of electricity through the existing power grid even if we could produce it.
They all know this, but they are pushing for it anyway.
What does that tell you?
Princeton did a study in 2003 IIRC that said the grid at that time could handle charging for 25M PASSENGER vehicles max then….that would be the number minimum needed in CA by 2030 if they follow through with their insane laws and they are already experiencing serious power shortages there
That they want us dead.
In Texas I just saw regular gas just a couple of cents shy of $5. This is where some of the largest refineries are located. Look out America Bungles and his gang are coming for your wallet.
This is a small price to pay f it lowers the temperature of the planet by .0000000000000000001 degree.
… and eventually reduces the population by staving 90+%.
…in 1,000 years!
Let’s not lose sight that the Green New Deal is being done for a hoax, that CO2 is causing “climate disruption”! So no matter if it’s cold or hot or floods or droughts or hurricanes or no hurricanes it’s cause is CO2! The old ruse heads they win tails we lose is in play and not winnable with Democrats in control! The other fact is our tons of coal reserves, massive reserves of proved, probable & possible oil and natural gas, along with shale oil reserves will remain in place in the ground ready to be tapped when this “climate change” hysteria passes!
Obama said with his energy plan gas would hit $7 a gallon…remember that ?
Only $6? We’ve been past that mark for months!
Unexpectedly.
I’ve been saying since 2008 when Obama and Biden were saying “Fundamental Transformation” that in order to do that they would first need to burn it all to the ground in order to “fundamentally transform” anything.
so i am not shocked they are doing just that now… but i am extremely pissed that the republicans are silent and going along with it all.
The color that used to represent death was black.
Now it will be green.
The horseman on the black horse is for famine and scarcity. The last horseman is death, Revelation 6:8, and the color would be “chloros”, pale green. I no longer believe that to be intended as allegorical.
At the rate things are going, many Americans may consider moving to Russia or even to Ukraine.
Maybe people will try to float in homemade rafts to Cuba.
Central and South America. You can make a pretty good living there if you speak Spanish and have some skills. Helicopter pilot friend of mine left for there in Obama’s first term. Never looked back.
First day as a swap driver at a local dealership.
Montpelier, VT to Dudley, MA and back. 218 miles one way.
Took a 2020 F150 down. Put $40 in it.
Picked up a Dodge 3500 diesel. They put $35 in it giving me half a tank.
Had to bail at Exit 9 off I91 and rolled into a small store a mile off the interstate on fumes.
I put $30 in it, giving me a quarter tank and rolled into the dealership at 1/8 of a tank.
They do reimburse if you have to put gas in, but I had a gas card today.
It was a beautiful day for a drive.
$4.60 in SC today, up 20 cents from last week. It’s not gong to take until Labor Day. We’ll be lucky if we make it to Independence Day.
Independence Day is being canceled and replaced by Government Appreciation Day.
I’m not kidding that there will be calls to eliminate/repurpose the holiday because it will be labeled “white supremacist” and, of course, “racissss” because it has to do with the founding of the USA. The totalitarians are running an all out blitz against us.
BESt way for Americans to vote out Dems in the midterms. They are trying to ruin America as fast as they can.
“Getting rid of the Dems” is pointless unless those who replace them have some American guts and know-how.
The gutless wonders that fill the republican ranks have been helping the democrats ruin America all along, either by their silence or by their active assistance behind closed doors.
Elections don’t matter. They are rigged. And even if the GOPe ‘wins’ they’ll do nothing as they are in on it.
me thinks you place too much faith in the Uniparty GOPe….where in the last 30 years have their actions matched their words on the ideology they espouse?
TINVOWOOT has been in effect for over 20 years, where have you been? a cave in Peru? I will keep my other thoughts to myself.
Right, because Beltway Republicans are in no way complicit in this, too?
Sorry, but that kind of thinking went out with the belief that FOX News was on “our side.”
Remember the “red wave” of the 2010 midterms? The one that gave us John Boehner as the Speaker? And then Paul Ryan? Voting Dems out and R’s in is like spitting in the ocean anymore. I trust no one.
Does Sundance still urge us to live our best lives?
That didn’t work too well in 2020.
Without uncorrupted elections, and without incorruptible conservative candidates, elections mean nothing.
Trust 0bama they said! Everything would be cool they said…
Joe Biden and the Democrat party is the national emergency
And the complicit, corrupt RINO enablers.
Drove 300 miles on southern interstate today. Trucks and autos haven’t slowed down. Lanes were full. Plenty of RVs racing down the road. I’d say people are not all that affected in what they do.
When their credit cards reach their limit, they will.
Then you won’t mind $6/gallon.
Those of us who lived, worked and drove through the gas crisis and inflation of the 70’s, did life seem anything like this? It sure didn’t for me. This is nuts.
Back when I was working in oil and gas (in California) we were busy, pay was decent, ten bucks an hour for a grunt like me, and diesel was under 50 cents a gallon. I could buy 20 gallons of diesel for one hour of gross pay.
Today, with diesel over six bucks a gallon in CA, that would mean the grunt pay would need to be 120+ per hour to equate. How many 18-21 yo make 120 an hour working a blue collar job as an apprentice? Heck, when I closed my business in 2020 my shop rate as a journeyman machinist, the shop rate, not an employee’s wage, was 125 an hour.
Nuts.
Difference between now and then is. then it was due stupid policies, now. .it’s being done on PURPOSE
CA is a one party state. It’s taxation without representation. High taxes, crappy public schools, sky high real estate, crime and homelessness up the wazoo. Thanks but no thanks. The last of our family is leaving CA in 2 weeks. I’m so happy to be outta there!
“It’s taxation without representation.”
That describes the entire nation at this point.
My family moved there in 1973 when it could rightly claim the “Golden State” moniker…it had good roads, the best schools and colleges and common sense politicians….no more for any of that
The country is going to be unrecognizable. Small business – what’s left after their forced destruction for COVID – will collapse. All but the largest retailers will collapse. Be prepared to have the choice of shopping at Amazon or Walmart and some very high end luxury brands as the rich will still have money.
Movie theaters gone, hotels closing left and right, mortgage industry and car dealers in desperate straights.
It is going to be awful.
My parents were of that “Greatest Generation” crowd. Their hard times in that life was the “Depression Era”. Our (baby boomers) hard times just may well be what’s happening now and in the near future.
Greatest Generation, out of compassion for the troubles they had experienced, set the nation on its downward trend
Yes. It is hard to fault their good intentions for their children.
But enabling wickedness is not kind. It’s like buying an alcoholic a drink. The immediate pain is eased, but the root problem is still there.
The human heart is deceitful and wicked. It needs to be disciplined, not indulged.
Spelled Labor Day wrong. July 4, more like.
What issue will be the signal that states will not follow the fedguv? Gas? 11,000 illegals crossing the border to get baby formula & diapers and credit cards? Vaxpass? It’s inevitable, unless we acquiesce to totalitarianism.
Already $6 dollars or more in Chicago. The Mobil gas station on Fullerton across the street from DePaul University is at $6.47/gal. Other places are at $5.99/gal. Everywhere is over $5 dollars though.
At a New Year’s Eve gathering, I remember telling friends that by the time schools let out in mid-June, 87 would be $4.75/gallon here in Minnesota. They laughed.
Today, in the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities, I saw prices ranging from $4.60 to $4.80.
No one is laughing anymore.
Just paid 5.95 for regular here in Mexifornia. There was a 6.49 a block away. FJB.
$6 gas at Labor Day will be in the cheap states.
In the big Oil Producing countries of the Middle East, gasoline still costs less than One Dollar, for people to buy in those countries. [According to the Internet]
When President Trump was in office, the USA was a big Producer of Oil. The USA was self-sufficient in petroleum production. ~ A gallon of gas inexpensive was back then. … It must have been more than a coincident. … Maybe, there are ‘Globalists’ that want Americans to be poor, and millions of people in the World ~ to starve to death. ~ Lord have Mercy!
We’re at $6.00 now.
Hey, you low income Californians, how do you like the $hit shoveled down your throat by the Ahole YOU elected?
Demonrats, the dumbest of the Dumb
The real surprise and voter revolt will come this fall when people order home heating oil. Here in Portland Maine the current price is $6.00 a gallon
Blonde woman tries to fill up a Tesla Model S with gas
I can see 99% of the people living without power, so when you see a place with power, the lights on? The places with the power on, they will be swarmed by the masses and it will not matter what the building is, DC being for sure where they will maker sure the lights stay on. It will be like moths to a light bulb or zombies attracted to sound.
One thing about there being no power, people will stop watching TV. Finally. No electronic voting machines. No frozen steaks chicken. Good maybe things will change.
Green New Deal, right got it! I would not put it past the insane enlighten ones dropping nukes on us.
Stay armed. Lock and load
It the obvious precaution to take.
Welcome to the new normal. Next winter you will heat your house to 58 degrees and take luck warm baths.
Energy is Wealth
When they Reduce Energy production it takes money right out of your pocket.
Your friendly neighborhood power company will simply suspend service overnight.
You will live with regularly scheduled blackouts and love it.
Be sure to stock up now on blankets, comforters and fleece pjs.
Wool is warm even when wet. Wool socks, blankets, sweaters really help and are still available at the army-navy surplus stores.
Just like the Carter years. “Don’t be fuelish.”
Yeah, that slogan really helped.
Much like Ford’s “Whip Inflation Now” WIN buttons when I was in college.
We poor students wore them upside down as NIM, meaning “Needing Immediate Money”.
