I was answering a question for someone who is less sophisticated. They were complaining about inflation and I showed him, or they/them, that prices are down from Biden's time. I did offer to show something more realistic the graph of inflation over the past few terms. Trump's 1st term "normal" inflation... Biden's was love as ~2% and as high as 9%. Trump's 2nd term it fluctuates between 2.3 and 3%. The prices today will change if the market feels okay about things. KW> KW> Barack Obama was coming out of the recession of 2008, which on rebound KW> resulted in supply constraints and greater demand. Less supply, more KW> demand equals higher prices. KW> Or ... his wife has a penis... KW> KW> Joe Biden was president during the initial recovery from Covid, where KW> demand for gasoline jumped from 93 million barrels a day to 99 million. KW> Lockdowns = no cars = lower demand. Easing restrictions, more driving, KW> more demand, higher price. KW> Or... He printed money and handed it out like it was candy and had left the border open to let in 10s of Millions of undocumented migrants to compete with Americans for Supply buy artificially in creasing demand. Trump was in the mids of opening the economy where Biden wanted to use the crisis for his own advantage. Take a look at the differences between Florida and California... Florida was never fully, every really, shut down. Less people died and the state thrived whereas California ... Well you can hear the death rattle still. Elon moved Tesla HQ and a plant and SpaceX from.... Ohhhh and X ... are now paying 0% income tax. The PEOPLE who want to make money with stocks and what not work on 2 things... Fear and greed. Either of those 2 things will cause the price of oil to go from $75 a barrel to a $175... in an hour. KW> KW> We'll see how gas prices look tomorrow - I'm already seeing $5.99/gallon KW> at freeway gas stations. KW> And the next day it might be a $1.99. Inflation is down, down from Biden's time maybe up slightly from last week... IB Joe, Pronouns (FJB/LGB) AKA Joe Schweier SysOp of 4A 6F 65 73 42 42 53 -=JoesBBS.com=- ...
