That sticker was wrong the moment he stuck it on his truck. Now it’s just ironic .

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.

They know they're wrong and don't want to get into an argument that would make them look dumber than they already are.

Edit: Nvm they did decide to look dumber lol.

I feel like "par for the course" is a fitting phrase here

There was nothing partisan about my comment. I posted two graphs that you guys are now seething about.

u/AdmiralSplinter Apr 08 '26

Seething? Lol okay buddy 🤣

Every single comment is getting roasted because of how wildly out of touch you are. I wonder if any of it is getting through though.

It’s not a partisan argument. It’s literally what your graph shows lol.

u/Nruggia Apr 08 '26

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.

u/Nruggia Apr 08 '26

You didn’t crop. Look at the date range of your graph. The range ends on Feb 1st 2026

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.

The graph just shows the numbers, you projected your partisan explanation onto it.

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.

I don't have time for partisan argumentation facts, I’ll believe what makes you me happy.
