Gas prices $2.60 near me - Righty narratives flop

[LeftofLeft]

Yup, if the country shuts down again!

The country is not shutting down again. We didn’t shut down social justice protests yet we shut down businesses. That was fucked up.

Trump lost. Biden won and illegal situation got worse

Yes or no?

Biden shouldn't have had illegals in the country.

Trump promised to deport all of them, and FAILED.

Money comes from Govt giving them money for food and clothing and phones. A bank I work with issues each a Visa for $4k

I don't think they're going to illegals, but to asylum seekers.

Two different animals.

Migrants in New York City will receive prepaid debit cards, not credit cards, for designated goods

Missing context. The city is launching a pilot program that will provide migrants with prepaid debit cards to buy only food and baby supplies, according to a spokesperson for the mayor.

So you admit that there’s nothing we can do about past inflation thank you

So you are saying that no one should have gotten a tax cut in Reagan's first term. All of the inflation was from the 1970'sand President Johnson's social programs, war and moon program. We had the fiat currency under control until around 1971. We lost control of it when Joe showed up. The taxes on the working man were oppressive. There were many tax brackets and no cost-of-living indexing on the federal taxes. This while state wage and local wage taxes and increases in sales taxes and everything to use like roads and bridges went up. Gasoline, fuel, electricity, rent, mortgages, insurance, food and supplies. Well, you get it. It was stagflation. And with the affirmative action, quotas, extreme feminism, diversity and such applying for employment and marking the Caucasian check off was not a good thing for males. You know nothing. The tax breaks for the working man were great. Even saving for retirement. And they had to take some of it ack a few years later. Double digit interest rates made us all happy. That was not Reagan. That was the culmination of the social agendas that kept increasing far beyond the federal budget.

"Real wages" is adjusted for inflation. Real wages have increased since before the pandemic, with the median worker's real weekly earnings growing 1.7% between 2019 and 2023 with real wages increasing more than inflation, and the bottom of the wage distribution seeing the largest gains:

• Real wage growth
  Real wages have increased since before the pandemic, with the median worker's real weekly earnings growing 1.7% between 2019 and 2023.
  
  
• Wage growth by percentile
  The 10th percentile of real hourly wages grew 13.2% between 2019 and 2023, while the 90th percentile grew 4.4%.
  
  
• Wage growth by race
  Real earnings increased 5.7% for the median Black American and 2.9% for the median Hispanic American between 2019 and 2023.
  
  
• Wage growth by age
  The real median wage for young adult workers (ages 29–38) who were 25–34 in 2019 increased 12% since the pandemic.
  
  
• Wage growth by industry
  Workers in industries with lower initial average wages saw the biggest percentage gains, such as restaurant and hotel workers in the leisure and hospitality sector.

I do not see a source. Just more lies.

Gas prices here still over $4 in town, $3.79 on the rez...

He left the basically dead economy.

Covid.

 

[g5000]

Inflation was 1.9 when Biden took office
Trump did not leave Biden a bad economy his democrat controlled states did

Inflation also does not happen overnight.

The Federal Reserve flooded our economy with money during the pandemic, as did Congress and Trump. In fact, Trump wanted more stimulus than even the Democrats wanted.

The Fed printed $4.42 trillion from 2020 to 2022.

There's your inflation.


Then, after the pandemic, demand for goods went through the roof and the supply chain was overwhelmed.

There's your inflation on steroids.

To make matters worse, the Fed ignored the warning signs, assuming the rising inflation was transitory.

Nothing to do with Biden. But your propagandists never told you these basic economic facts.

Ohhhj. So inflation can occur because of previous events… like Covid

I see…

 

[Moonglow]

It's almost $6 in Australia.

Criky

So fucking weird…huh?
Right before the election fuel prices, inflation, interest rates, crime, border security…..It all just magically improves on the same timeline….It’s almost as if they fucked us intentionally for 3.5 years.
But let’s play fucking stupid and pretend it’s all just a total coincidence.

No, the prices have been this low before

Covid.

Yet other countries did far better, with the same problem.

The difference was government leadership

In all previous pandemics the US suffered far less than other parts of the world

Something was different about Covid

Oh yeah

Trump.

And he got voted out because of it

Trump was like the captain of the Titanic.
Fine in calm seas. But asleep at the wheel when problems lurked ahead.
And when tragedy struck, both thought the ship of state was unsinkable.

 

[jc456]

What happened? Did we build the pipeline?

stopped buying foreign oil. It's not difficult to do, but when the president like creepy owes other countries favors, we need to buy their oil and have the people pay higher prices. The fact you don't have a clue doesn't surprise me.

 

[citygator]

In case, you didn't read the news...it is due to the Iran-Israel Conflict. Israel decided not to bomb Iran's Oil tanks. And besides, it's the Election. It usually goes down around this time.

Also, during the same time at the end of Trump's first term, gas was already below $2.60/gal Nationwide.
In some areas, it is still $3.25/gal.

This has NOTHING to do with Biden.

The last November, pre-covid in 2019 it was about the same as now. Awesome.

Blame the governors and local officials.

so you're now saying that wuhan was the same virus as every other? Why did governors shut down businesses then?

 

[jc456]

So you agree the governors over reacted shutting down the country? hmmmmm you should tell them
