That incomprehensible avalanche of money is working it’s way down through the economy. Oil is just another commodity. Of course, supply chain issues but let the economy address that not Central Government. Things got fucked up enough with the Fed.
Biden needs to stay out of it.
Wrong. Being a deadbeat dad is an embarrassment. Biden is not senile.Quote:

Higher fuel prices are the leading drive of the inflation even the media can’t fucking ignore anymore and is now upsetting poor Jen Psaki bombs because it’s not just Peter Doocy on her ass about Biden’s failings. Increase fuel costs cause all prices to go up because well hey shit has to get from point A to Point B. I saw premium at $4.00 here in AZ the other day. Fuck Joe Biden and his bullshyt.Quote:

Explain that thought, please.
While explaining it, see if you can not bring it back to the real reason of inflation, which is our government just printing and handing out money like mad to anyone with a pulse....cause, covid and shit.
Many economists have explained it.Quote:

Perhaps you don’t understand the concept of a captive audience. The federal government has minimal influence on the price of gas and those changes in policy have no affect in the short term. You could try to learn something, but Forbes is probably too liberal for your taste.Quote:

As high as $5.89 for Reg Unleaded on both sides of the border in Tahoe.
Regardless of who to blame, it’s fucking crazy.

You seem like the type taking the “city bus” to me
You are talking to Walter, a man that posted 8 (eight) times on this very page. Not the thread or forum, but 8 (eight) times in this page. He is an obsessive weirdo.Quote:

Gas prices are a bit complicated to understand, because there is so much variance within the US, which occurs for a variety of reasons:
- State taxes
- Local taxes
- State environmental requirements
- Remoteness (difficulty to receive supply)
- Opportunistic gouging
The federal government does indeed have some influence on the prices, but only the base prices, and only to a certain extent. Of course, foreign oil prices are what drive a lot of the prices up and down.
However, that's not to let states like California off the hook. They've got a terrible 1-2 punch of high state/local taxes AND crippling environmental regulations which cause higher production costs (which is then passed onto consumers).
A big problem is that California believes it can extract tons of extra money out of gas tax when prices are low, and then the state becomes addicted to the money and can't remove the tax when prices get high. So we end up with situations like right now.
You also shouldn't be too worried by shock pictures of super high prices, as these tend to be at certain outlier stations which set prices outrageously high because people will still pay it. This includes remote or semi-remote tourist destinations, wealthy neighborhoods where the clientele doesn't care that much, etc.
I recommend getting the GasBuddy app, and you can see prices in your area, and find the best stations to frequent.
I mean, not to sound above the commoner, but how fucking poor do you have to be to have an app on your phone to save a dime a gallon? By the time you drove across town you already wasted your profits. Not to mention your time, but if you are hunting for a dime a gallon discount you probably don't give a shit. Funny thing is you know these gas hunters go right into the convenience store and buy a hot dog or a pizza slice.Quote:

Trump has spent a lot more cash last year than Biden will spend this year.
Trump stimulus at least $1800 per person
Biden stimulus at least $1400 per person
Biden can't get anything through Congress.
Senators Sinema and Manchin won't cooperate.
Debt ceiling will not be increased.
Mitch McConnell says no.
