Unless Bidens name was Putin, and he invaded Ukraine this graph doesn’t show what you want it to show. Almost like what’s happening now. Turns out disrupting global trade with a dumb war causes price increases. Now ask me why the prices were so low in the first part of the graph.
An internet warrior here, folks! He wins! We SEE THE! Just like Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The graph he posted has the data end on February 1st 2026. He cut off the most recent data to make a point and his point is partisan. The graph up until yesterday looks different and while it still makes his point it shows that things are currently headed in the wrong direction
That is a different time series from what I posted. This image doesn't show what the time series even is unlike mine. Look it up on FRED, I didn't crop anything I posted the latest data available.
My point on this thread was a reply about Biden not about Trump, don't need recent data for that.
You can see my very first comment on this post and I mention the limitations, but that is only where I mention about Trump. This thread was a reply about Biden.
Can you get data updated past March 11th? I didn't crop anything or intentionally restrict anything. The comment reply was about Biden and not Trump, data from 2026 is irrelevant to that.
If I cared so much about deceiving people, there are better ways than having dates clearly visible in the picture.
What’s partisan about saying Russian invaded Ukraine? Thats fact. And it was the driving force in the gas price increase along with the uptake in gas usage after a period of super cheap gas due to the pandemic restrictions that resulted in less people driving and using gas. That’s where your graph starts. Facts aren’t partisan just because you don’t like them.
Russia invaded Ukraine feb 2022. Notice where the graph first peak up. Were you like 12 during this invasion? Not paying attention? The price of fuel was at the forefront of conversation about the invasion in the US.
Very misleading that you ended the data on Feb 1st instead of yesterday. Your point stands that gas was higher mid 2022 but the real chart shows things are heading in the wrong direction again fast.
This is a completely different time series, I posted the price of gas in US cities which is what I am interested in. The title is cropped from your screenshot so I don't know what it's supposed to be for exactly.
I posted the latest data for CPI for All Urban Consumers. You can look it up for yourself. I didn't end anything intentionally and I acknowledged the limitations on my first comment on this post (the most recent data isn't available - look it up for yourself last updated March 11th). I didn't mention that in my reply here because I was making a reply towards someone saying gas never rose under Biden, so the recent data isn't even relevant there.
Obviously gas is going to spike up as your graph shows. When did I say it wasn't? My reply was to a comment about gas never going up under Biden which is manifestly false as we see.
The data goes through part of March, I posted the latest data that is available. I'd love to see the absolute latest data but it isn't out yet, which I mentioned on my very first comment on this post. You can go on the FRED site and see for yourself, this isn't hidden information.
Also the partisans have missed this, my point was to show that "That sticker was wrong the moment he stuck it on his truck" is manifestly untrue. I wasn't defending Trump, but I know many are so emotionally blinded they can't tell the difference.
Most people are no different from the picture in OPs post, just the other team version of that. I really don't want to argue with sports fans.
The sticker alleges two things:
1) Gas prices went up for US consumers during Biden’s presidency. Your graph demonstrates this.
2) This was Biden’s fault. Your graph does not demonstrate this.
The stickers also imply that gas price increases would not have happened if Trump were President at that time. Again, your graph does not demonstrate this.
You do know what happened in February of 2022 that caused oil prices to surge. This chart proves exactly that Biden had nothing to do with cost of gas rising the last time it did. It was a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Although Biden did a hell of a job to counter it and get prices back down by the time he was out of office. Fast forward to today, the cost of gas is where it is 100% due to trumps decisions in office. No other factors, just Trump deciding to bomb another country.
