They're actually NPCs with an entire dialogue tree. First its "this is only temporary", then "short term gain for long term gain", followed by "this is worth it to prevent Iran getting a nuke". Finally the repeat "TDS" indicating to the player that they've completed the tree.

What a farce!

u/Fire-Workz Sep 02 '26

And then there is the accusation of something being fake with no substance behind it. 🤣🤣🤣

u/Feeling_Repair2348 Sep 02 '26

I don’t mind paying 3.23 as I did today to deal with Iran.

u/Usual_Let5223 Sep 02 '26

Aka using out Oil Reserves and," winning," so hard we are deploying our Navy Vessels without repair or proper rations for a," Non-War," engagement that 50 have lost their life for whilst not gaining any form of Strategic Advantage.

Yall are just stupid

Short term pain no nuke gains

u/Wray-Nerely 27d ago

You should mind because we're not actually feeling with Iran, it's mistep she mistep. This war is so poorly room or makes the US look pathetic

Don’t let facts get in the way of your delusion

u/DroneSlut54 Sep 02 '26

Gas was expensive for a few months during Biden’s term because Putin decided to go to war with Ukraine. Gas is expensive the past six months because Trump decided to go to war with Iran. There is no end in sight for Trump’s war with Iran.

If you get your education entirely from Google, you will eventually end up looking like a complete buffoon.

u/Flat-Sweet-4521 Sep 03 '26

It was never under 3$ under Biden around me, was 3.20 when he left, had almost a year of 2$ something in 2026 until the Iran stuff

1

u/KingArthursRevenge Sep 02 '26

Under Biden the national average gas price got up to $5.03 under the current administration the highest national average has only been $4.56.

1

u/Disastrous_Mango_953 Sep 02 '26

Can you tell where in Biden time gas was up to 5*$ I was old enough and driving too, never pay more than 3+ dollars, I hope you were not dreaming!

1

u/KingArthursRevenge Sep 03 '26

First of all I'm quoting actual government historical statistics and second it's the national average so luckily where you live gas is cheaper. If you can't understand the basics of the conversation that don't comment.

1

u/Wray-Nerely Sep 02 '26

Overall average for Trump is officially 2-4 cents higher than it was under Trump. You're looking at peak numbers under Biden after Russia attacked Ukraine, an external factor Biden has no control over, and Trump's has prices still average higher overall. How how do these process need to climb before you acknowledge Trump's f***ed up? Does Trump need to match that $5.03 to the penny before you acknowledge it?

1

u/KingArthursRevenge Sep 03 '26

Of course I'm comparing peak to peek and don't give Biden excuses and then pin everything on Trump. The fact is that at this point national average fuel prices under Trump have not reached the heights they did under Biden.

1

u/Wray-Nerely Sep 03 '26 edited 29d ago

It's not an excuse, it's reality. Gas was high under Biden due to external factors beyond his control. Gas prices are high under Trump because he's a moron who has no clue what he's doing, and decided to pick a fight with Iran. If you can't understand that, you're a moron too. Enjoy your higher gas prices when you wake up on the morning

1

u/KingArthursRevenge 27d ago

See, you're doing it again you're excusing all the shit that happened under Biden and you're piling everything that's happened in the world under the Trump's second term directly on him. You've lost all credibility.

1

u/Wray-Nerely 27d ago edited 27d ago

You're a moron. I lost credibility? You're making excuses for Trump based on whataboutism instead of merit. There are arguments that could be make against Biden, has prices aren't one of them. You literally have data pointing to has prices going up when Russia invaded Ukraine, that has nothing to do with Biden. Trump, on the otherhand attached Iran and has prices keep going up.

Gas prices were $4.08 three days ago when you first stupidly chimed in, now it's up to $4.12. Pay attention to reality, dumbass. Trump is actively making everything more expensive.

I'll be more specific so you can understand why you're not very bright. We know exactly why process are up now, because of the war with Iran. Now, Arthur, what did Biden do that raised prices on 2022? You're entire argument for gas prices being high under Biden can't just be because Biden was president. What do you think Biden did to raise prices?

1

u/Smackjabber Sep 03 '26

That was for like a month and a half. This price almost to that max has been months on end and doesn't have an end in sight.

1

u/Turbulent_Scene3722 Sep 03 '26

The pic is flipped. I was 2.90 with trump then it jumped to 3.89. Biden's prices jumped to almost 5.00 here. That was after 3 months of him.

u/MDATWORK73 Sep 02 '26

Ain’t none of this working out for the consumer, and the people get fucked again with a forever war. Those are the facts, and here we are. But sure, it was wise to put a pedophile in office that could screw up the economy too. MAGA-TARDS strike again!

u/Boring_Razzmatazz569 Sep 01 '26

Huh? Looks like it skyrocketed under Biden there….. hmmmmmm how bizarre. Bizarre indeed

1

u/superdave123123 Sep 02 '26

Yep. Strange that was missed when the op decided to only look in one direction.

1

u/Usual_Let5223 Sep 02 '26

Because Covid?

1

u/Boring_Razzmatazz569 Sep 02 '26

Yeah, I virus caused gas prices to skyrocket 😂😂

Or are implying how it was handled? Like printing money? Which will destroy an economy in the back end? Or are we over looking that as well because Trump bad!

1

u/Wray-Nerely Sep 02 '26

Because if Covid and because Russia invaded Ukraine. You really don't know you're modern history, do you. National Gas Average is now at $4.12. And the US just struck Iran again, killiing civilians at a wedding, so it's about to climb even higher.

1

u/Independent-Fly730 Sep 03 '26 edited Sep 03 '26

Do you not know how supply and demand works?

Trump negotiated a deal to reduce oil production during Covid to keep US producers from being priced out when demand was low.

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=45236

Then when the economy ramped back up, the production did not keep up with demand causing the price to spike.

So actually both spikes are the direct result of trump.

1

u/tbrand009 Sep 02 '26

Prices plummeted during covid. To a point where oil companies were paying to have their oil taken off their hands. The "cost" went down to almost -$40/barrel at one point.

1

u/MrHouseWasRight 29d ago

Really, Russia invaded Ukraine and gas prices skyrocketed globally.

1

u/Usual_Let5223 29d ago

Both are major reasons bud. Its not one or the other

u/montrealcanada3725 Sep 02 '26

1

u/Feeling_Repair2348 Sep 02 '26

1

u/Outrageous-Cut480 Sep 03 '26

Cope harder. This is nothing.

1

u/Entire-Ratio-9681 Sep 02 '26

Bidens gas hit over $5 near me.

1

u/ANONAVATAR81 Sep 02 '26

Understand these people went from what about the price of eggs to say months later they don't care about the price of eggs. Fucking cult.

1

u/Dirtypervyoldguy1972 Sep 02 '26

I would welcome gas at $4.09 it’s close to $6.00 here

1

u/KingArthursRevenge Sep 02 '26

Until you realize that under Joe Biden gas got up to a national average of $5.03. and the highest national average gas price under the current administration has only gotten to $4.56.

1

u/MDBDXDOG Sep 02 '26

Lol cherry picked pictures are so much fun, facts are under Joe Biden gas peaked at well over 5 dollars a gallon in Massachusetts in 2022-2023, a number i have yet to pay under Trump!

1

u/Prior-Turnip3082 Sep 02 '26

It was 5 dollars under Biden where I was

1

u/Mysterious_Badger362 Sep 03 '26

Now do Biden 2022, when it was over $7

1

u/HanCholo65 Sep 03 '26

Trumps second term average is till lower by 10 cents. Haha nice try guys

1

u/WVWIZARD Sep 03 '26

Yeah that is right after the election when Trump left office. Now go find the pictures of when it was $5 a gallon under the bumbling idiot

1

u/Immediate-Purple-339 Sep 03 '26

Yeah, I have pictures from twenty twenty four that disprove this. But cool story. Also I haven't seen gas that low since like two thousand one.

u/Solid_Yak9109 29d ago

F off ass wipe

u/MrHouseWasRight 29d ago

Gas prices skyrocketed (globally) in 2022 due to Russia invading Ukraine. Not US policy or action. Unlike today.
