Gas Prices Up to $3.25 a Gallon

[rightwinger]

Californians are paying that; most Red states don't have Newsom or Mandani as governors. You Reds just suck at trying to spin stuff, is all.

Biden's gas prices:

Average gas prices top $4 per gallon for first time since ‘08

The national average hit $4.009 cents on Sunday, according to AAA, just over 10 cents short of the $4.114 average recorded in July 2008.

Yep I expect them to drop again, this is just transitory due to Iranian desperation

It’s sad that democrats have the same effect as Iranian terrorists.

Gas under Biden went up because of COVID supply chain issues and the Ukraine war….factors out of Biden’s control

Gas under Trump went up because he chose to in spite of warnings

Gas was 5/gallon in June of 2022

Well after Covid was over

Ukraine? We get a lot of gas from Ukraine?

I agree xiden himself wasn’t in control of anything

Gas under Trump has spike recently, due to Iranians actions and Trump unwilling to allow them to continue

And Trump still doesn't own any oil companies. But I guess it's like that airport thing when he was flying passenger jets and operating all those control towers a week or so ago. He also ordered oil companies to gouge Americans.

Supply chain issues happened after COVID
Gas is set on the global market
That is why we are paying $4 now

Dude Covid ended in 2021, this was June of 2022

We also had massive production of oil during that time, so it wasn’t a supply issue

It was a price at the pump issue

The major COVID-related supply chain disruptions began in early 2020 and unfolded in several phases:

Early 2020 (January–March)

• The outbreak in China—especially lockdowns in manufacturing hubs like Wuhan—shut down factories.
• This caused immediate shortages of components and finished goods worldwide.

Mid to Late 2020

• As the virus spread globally, countries imposed lockdowns, disrupting production, shipping, and labor.
• Demand patterns shifted suddenly (e.g., surge in home goods, drop in travel-related products).
• Ports and shipping networks became strained.

2021 (Peak disruption)

• This was the worst period for global supply chains.
• Container shortages, port congestion (notably in Los Angeles and Long Beach), and shipping delays became widespread.
• Semiconductor shortages hit industries like automotive and electronics.

2022 (Gradual easing, but still unstable)

• Backlogs slowly cleared, but issues persisted due to new waves of COVID (e.g., lockdowns in China), labor shortages, and high demand

By 2023

• Most supply chains had largely stabilized, though some sectors continued adjusting and building resilience.

In short: disruptions started in early 2020, peaked in 2021, and gradually improved through 2022–2023.

Yes we are aware that Biden mishandled Covid
