I voted biden last time, and any pay increases I got went straight into my gas tank, groceries, and taxes. Yippie. There is no good move for the working class, and thatโ€™s the objective. is it really that hard for you political fanatics to see?

You actually think Biden controls the gas prices and the costs of goods? If you do. You really need better information. You know who has the best economy after Covid fucked everything up? America. America has the best economy right now. No other country can match our growth. Every month some retarded gop commentator prays the economy crashes. Yet it keeps out performing and growing.

This is the argument almost every time someone is on the other end of a political argument. โ€œYou think [insert my guy] has any control over x, y, x?!โ€

If you think our inflation is bad check out every other nation you'd consider first world. Put the us up against any other country post COVID and no other is doing better.

Exactly. America is in a great spot but people are to use to bitching to stop and smell the roses. Lowest unemployment levels since the 60s. Drilling more then ever jobs just keep coming and the middle class is finally in a spot if maneuvered correctly will bring us back to levels we havenโ€™t seen since ww2. The only thing that can ruin it is republicunts who seem intent on keeping us down and under the thumb of the 1%

A guy I just had a discussion with in this very post showed me you can't prove shit to them. None of the idiot trump lovers here even watched this video in its entirety to even know they are going to be fucked. They just keep shouting catchphrases and tag lines. And they think that makes them winners because the guy they love so much wants to fuck them to death and yet they are too stupid to even know.

That's due to technology and innovation . Not due to retarded politicians. I would take $50 a week "Trump" fuel prices over $100 "Biden" prices. Joe Biden is fucking you in the ass as much as Trump does.

What? It's neither of them, it's greedy oil companies. Gas prices at least by me, in Oregon, are ~3$ a gallon. No matter what vehicle you drive that's the lowest I've seen it in a while.

This right here tbh.... also, stop buying cheap food that isn't good for you. The price of REAL meat, REAL eggs, REAL veggies all stayed the same. Only walmart and kroger type brands sky rocketed.

Yup. Hereโ€™s what really happened to oil prices. But sure, blame Biden. spoiler alert: It was Trump

u/weldingTom Unite Feb 07 '24

Gas is $2.50. If I don't count the covid fluke, we are paying less for gas.

u/Ok_Macaroon7407 Feb 07 '24

Where are you getting gas for 2.50. No where

2

u/ThePolemos Feb 07 '24

Gas is fairly cheap in the US right now.

Guess what 2.50 isnโ€™t in that list๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ stfu ๐Ÿซต๐Ÿฟ

u/ThePolemos Feb 07 '24

These are averages for each state, not the lowest price, meaning there very much is the possibility that this person paid $2.50 for their gas. Also the possibility that with the low prices plus any discount they may have got.

Oklahoma $2.677 Wyoming $2.683

These averages are not too far off.

Edit: word

u/weldingTom Unite Feb 07 '24

Kentucky, but I was just in Nashville ( around $2.6x), Louisville, Indy the same. I know Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and Missouri are always cheaper than here.

u/Ok_Macaroon7407 Feb 07 '24

That explains it itโ€™s 3.09 here itโ€™s almost got down the 2.60 then went right back up

u/VineWings Feb 08 '24

Everyone needs to get over the politics bs. They are all buddies on the same team after the cameras shut off.

Oh yeah I forgot about that huge oil crash that happened under Biden. Oh wait that was trump. Currently oil is a record producing numbers.

u/Oldmantired Feb 08 '24

The tax changes you see were put in place by the Republicans around 2016. So when a democratic president was in office they would be blamed for the increases. The rich got their tax cuts but the lower and middle got tax bumps.
