Real wages for hourly workers are up nearly 2% in the first five months of Trump’s second term

[mudwhistle]

America is currently out producing most of OPEC. Iran also has increased production 44% in the past few days. Filling them tankers as fast as possible. (In case Israel blows it to smithereens)

The straight of hormuz is jammed with tankers at the moment.

Just saying.

Just when you think you know....you don't.

I knew this.

And, yet, that is not driving prices down signficantly.

I figure the Mullahs were planning on setting their own oil wells on fire like Saddam did to Kuwait.

The CIA is too busy trying to screw up America that they don't have the resources to do another regime change in Iran.

Maybe because even out in the middle of nowhere I'm on a major pipeline route to and from the gulf....I see changes sooner.

Maybe.

And out here they went to pre-attack pricing already for gasoline.

This may not be true for everywhere else. I haven't traveled much this past week. Been busy putting shingles up on turrets, mowing lawns, and baking.

But $2.79/gal was what I've been paying gasoline for well over a month....and still paying it today. It went up a dime a week ago. That was it... then went back down.

 

[g5000]

We need to get it down under $2/ gal

Never going to happen.

Unless we have another pandemic like we did the last time it was under $2.00.

It amuses me the cult gives Trump credit for that.

If we are lucky, we might see $3.00 gas again, but I doubt it.

 

[JohnDB]

However....
What I have noticed that is VERY important is the recent quality of durable goods quality....it's in the toilet.

When you purchase a product running around the $1k mark....you expect it to have some sort of quality. Not incomplete, missing parts, damaged or short lived in functioning. (Likely assembled poorly or incorrectly) Then when you call the company....if you can get the right person (runarounds are growing) you might get decent warranty service of parts replacement or something. (If they have any and are not backordered)

This is also true with upright freezers as well at the moment. They are not available in as many sizes and options as you would usually expect. Kinda a shortage going on currently.

So....just saying durable goods right now are crap. Check CURRENT and verified purchasers feedback comments about products before you purchase.
Something is wrong with the supply chain and its somewhat being hushed up.

Zero turn mowers, snowblowers, pressure washers, upright freezers, clothes washing and drying machines, and any other big ticket items currently are having major issues with the quality of their products. Be VERY careful before you put down your money. You can get trapped into a huge hassle.

Dunno where you live....bit I'm seeing it.

This is one of the funny things about Trumpists.

When a Democrat is president, they find somewhere gas prices are high, and say, "See? He SUCKS!"

When a Republican is president, they find somewhere gas prices are low, and say, "See? He's AWESOME!"

Never do they post the national average.

AAA Fuel Prices

You also said that the markets would tank under Trump causing a recession.

All of that blew up in your faces......so you started riots in LA to take everyone's attention off of the improving economy.

If it wasn't for you Democrats.....America would be a much better country.

Imagine what would happen to CA if they deported every single illegal.

They'd lose maybe 10 seats in the House and the price of gas would go down all over the country.

No kidding right?

I just know what price is at my little gas station at the corner.

I'm at $2.79/gallon today. It was $2.85 about a week ago....day after Israel hit Iran but then went back down.

Why the National Average is over 3.22? Dunno.

Common in a lot of states. Not on the left coast--every time gas prices move in a positive direction, democrats slap a new tax on it or place more fees and restrictions on the producers. WA and CA are still in the $4 range with no end in sight.

You also said that the markets would tank under Trump causing a recession.

I didn't. Economists and retailers are saying Trump has raised the risk of a recession in the second half of the year.

Be patient, grasshopper

Here is an article to which I linked nine days ago:

“A reported 55% tariff on our largest supplier of American apparel and footwear, stacked on top of already high MFN and Section 301 rates is not a win for America,” said Steve Lamar, CEO of the American Apparel and Footwear Association. “We’re closely watching for more details, but the reality is this: nearly all clothes and shoes sold in the U.S. are now subject to elevated tariff rates. These costs will hit American families hard, especially as they get ready for back-to-school shopping and the holiday season. New trade deals that bring lower tariffs can’t come soon enough.”

[snip]

“The transatlantic trade has seen an increase in cargo volume in both directions during the last month, averaging 15% compared to last year” said Abbott. “An increasing number of our U.S. import customers are expressing fears of reduced sales because of a potential U.S. recession in the second half, so this is weighing heavy on people’s minds,” he added.

[snip]

“I think the damage is done this year,” Croke said. “Carriers will struggle to recover this year. The supply chain will not recover until these trade deals are done. When you lose trust, how do you make business decisions when it can be undone in a tweet? You have to expect the worst-case scenario, and anything better than that is an upside. I don’t see how the market recovers,” he added.

Trump’s ‘done’ deal with China: Trade damage already done and will remain, logistics firms, retailers say​

Small businesses are already collapsing because of the Trump Tariffs.

All of that blew up in your faces

You are prematurely ejaculating on your face.

That's why your thoughts and bleefs can be easily manipulated.

I done said I haven't been anywhere all week. Been busy on the homestead.

I seen the link Pic.

California is paying the outrageous prices....driving up the national average.

Yeah....and this is you on a date:

So after having your claim destroyed, you resort to a juvenile non sequitur to cover your embarrassment.

That's sad.

And your state is driving the national average down.

Like I said. Innumerate.

Your partisanship is blinding you.

Head to minus $2 a gallon. You are delusional.

Having a negative attitude about everything Trump isn't a winner anymore, dipshit.
