Nice job working election machines in there, good therapy.
You guys are the ones that alleged that in 2016, LOL!

Back then in 2016, even I was like, Holy F, Russia really is sophisticated and America needs to wake up, then reality hit. Nope. They can't even take anything in Ukraine. Turns out they really can't do much.

Plunge it back to the Trump years level and I might give a damn.


The shout of glee that gas prices are gong down is like hyperventilating over a dozen eggs going down from the twenty-five dollars a dozen it was last month to twenty-two dollars a dozen now. That just ain't nothing to celebrate when eggs were a couple dollars a dozen not all that long ago (these prices are overexaggerated to make a VERY valid point).

I thought this was the gas price thread?

Cuts in production in Russia and Saudi Arabia will elevate oil prices, simple economics.

Putin did not cause inflation to "start" rising. Inflation was already rising.

I honestly don't understand why so many people are clueless about facts and timelines.

Democrats always refuse to hold their side and their failed policies accountable for anything. It's always someone else's fault.
Gas and inflation were not skyrocketing before Ukraine but they were increasing, did anyone say otherwise. Gas prices added to inflation as did the war in Ukraine.

Biden allowed Putin to invade Ukraine, now that’s funny.

Which democratic policy caused worldwide inflation and gas price increases.

Interesting. I recall paying just a touch over $2.10 per gal or so. Maybe I'm having false memory syndrome. But I don't think so.

Set it for 8 years.

When Trump took office it was in the $2.20s. Average price generally rose with him peaking just under $3 until Covid sent it plummeting.

Diesel is still a mess, so I guess I'll have to be careful when driving my 970 lb-ft of torque F-350 diesel to Costco to buy a pack of 2 dozen eggs, as well as virtually every other grocery item, that have doubled in price due to inflation.

And speaking of inflation, in 2020, it was below 2%. Currently, it's above 8%.

You do the math, we'll decide.
Exactly.
By the way, at what level are the strategic reserves?
