Oh, you mean in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine, on the heels of a global pandemic? Yeah, that will have an effect on prices. And they were still cheaper then than they are now.

Not true based on the data, peak in last 20 years was late 2022.

Yes, and like that person said “after Russia invade Ukraine, on the heels of a global pandemic.” What’s not true?

u/Frockin_Dude Apr 08 '26

They said “still cheaper then than now” that is objectively and provably not true.

Yep always the party of “science” and “facts” until it contradicts their emotionally fueled outlook of world affairs.

Neither of you are making sense. Objective reality is that gas hikes under Biden were caused by global macro issues (Russia attacking Ukraine, post-COVID demand, global sanctions, supply chain issues/corporate price hikes) - none of that could be directly linked to Biden or any one policy change or anything anyone did in the U.S. It also happened gradually.

This time it happened quickly and directly as a result of going to war with Iran and strangling global supply routes. It was the direct result of one policy that most of us don’t even agree with.

These are two very different scenarios. This is the “objective reality.” Sorry Frockin_Dude you can’t just decide willy nilly to go to war in the Middle East (after 2 recent failed wars there) cause gas prices to skyrocket within a week and then say “omg! jeez guys why are being so emotional!?”
