@metal-brain saidI gotta' tell ya, @MB, the Saudis raise the cost of oil to $124, what the heck do you expect the oil companies to do, in unison?? It may look like collusion, but if it was, Janet Yellen and the DoJ would have sounded the alarm.
I am talking about fuel prices, not anything else.
You are digressing.
@earl-of-trumps saidUh. Yeah. Sure. Biden’s fault.
Way to go, Joltin' Joe.
When Biden took the helm on January 20 2021, gas in the US was $2.40 per gallon
"The national average price for gas has reached $4.86, according to AAA. That’s 25 cents higher than last week and up 59 cents in just one month.

Can't wait until November
You do realise that inflation is a world wide problem at the moment and has nothing to do with the Biden administration?
Oh. Yeah. Really.

Why do you assume Janet Yellen and the DoJ would have sounded the alarm? Janet Yellen and the DOJ are corrupt as hell. Janet Yellen is a paid liar. She told us inflation wouldn't be a problem. She had to admit she was wrong.

Biden is a tool of the oligarchy. Don't expect him to enforce antitrust laws. You are being naive. It also happens a lot more than you think.

@shavixmir saidYes it is, at least partly.

The world is in a race to devalue their currency to boost trade so they can export products to the USA when the US dollar is devalued. It has happened before. Don't you remember?
Paying people to stay home during the pandemic is another factor. Many countries increased their money supply to pay for it.
@metal-brain saidIT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BIDEN.

Look up "race to devalue" and learn something about economics.
@metal-brain saidNo. There is no extra drive to sell crap to the US.

What the hell is the matter with you?
@shavixmir saidThe USA is the biggest consumer market in the world unless China has surpassed us already. What the hell is the matter with you? Are you stupid?
No. There is no extra drive to sell crap to the US.

@earl-of-trumps said$5 per gallon? That's disgusting!
I *knew* you'd have to be in here touting your Trump hate all over the place lol
Oh, and congrats, @Sonhouse, gas has hit an average price of $5 today, thanks to your golden boy, Joe
How much are your tax dollars subsidising the oil companies for it to be that low?

Odd, isn't it, that they choose to believe a man
who told over 30,000 DOCUMENTED lies during his short tenure, but
dismiss STATEMENTS of TRUE FACT.....How is this possible?
Ignorance is bliss, they say. 😛

When *some* people go to vote, they don't really care who or what started inflation.
All they know is, they are glum, and Biden and the Democrats can't fix the problem.
You understand this, right?
@shallow-blue saidYou just have super high taxes on fuel over there. That is why you have a better infrastructure than we do.
