The election is over

Highest is moot; very brief period. 28% does mean something, matches almost every other product, a product of the pandemic, so we’re calling the pandemic Biden’s fault? Just trying to keep this discussion charted.
You are obviously an athlete; you don’t give up.

Einstein, you may want to figure out supply and demand. When people get sick and can’t ride their scooters, planes or blow their hooters, they use less gas. When supply exceeds demand, prices go down.

The reason gas prices hit an all time high had nothing to do with Covid. And the reason gas prices declined during Covid, but then started increasing again, a little, was manipulation which could have been prevented by the Administration.

I can tell you why gas prices hit an all time high in 2022, but now that would be no fun, would it now?

Flashpoints in 2023 did lead to a spike, and prices were restored quickly. The financial crisis and Covid both caused spikes. Prices are back to where they should be, although it doesn’t help you prove your intelligence.

What the f…

That’s a hell of a weakness but at least you acknowledge it. That’s step one.

I was at the grocery store today and prices are crazy......a person has to pick and choose what they are purchasing.....

.....and the grocery store sure wasn't busy like it was in the past because people can't afford to be there very often....

When I use to visit our factory in Toronto, I always looked at house prices in the local paper. Scary stuff.

Hi. My daughter bought 6 house lots and is building custom houses. She just sold one for $850,000.00. My 1st house was $12,500.00.

In Toronto, for $850,000, the house is only big enough to fry one egg at a time in the kitchen.

When I was posted to the HQ in Toronto, people were buying the old wartime houses on a postage sized lot for (then) $550k only to tear down the house and build a McMansion in it's place, the houses take up the entire lot.....

I recall going for a run through an old subdivision one evening where there was only one old wartime house left.....an elderly couple lived in it and were in no hurry to leave it. I saw them out gardening so I stopped to talk to them, they moved into the home when the old guy returned from the war and have lived there ever since I forget what he said he paid for the house but I think it was sub $1000. Talk about a mark up.....

About 4 years ago there was a new subdivision built near ours, these houses are all on a 1 acre lot and are on well and septic....none of the houses in that subdivision cost over $400k to buy...one just sold for $1.1 million and it has zero curb appeal as far as I and many others are concerned, there is no real landscaping.....

I just don't know how people are affording these prices....

Many young people are only going to own a house if it is willed to them by their parents but even our government is trying to quell this by implementing a huge capital gains tax....

Oh Jelly. You are a different person since the election. It's fascinating. You asked me if my life is better than 4 years ago, not if prices changed.
You have become a giddy, silly person, but I'm happy for you. Sincerely. I don't take pleasure in other's misery. It's not a talent that I picked up.
By the way, you couldn't keep up. We're a little quicker in the Ozarks.

That's kinda of a piss poor flex on your part @jellyrug because that dude on the scooter got some skills! Wheelies, circles on two wheels. Dude is pretty bad ass.

Lets see if I understand what your are implying about the 2016 election... are you saying president Trump stole that election from Hillary? The only truth in that is the leftist never accepted that he was the president... that was their problem to solve... and they jumped right on it with phony Russian Collusion to begin with.

You would think with Obama tapping Trump Tower phone lines that they could have figured out an advantage that would sustain a win on Election Day. The phone tapping didn't last long enough... somebody leaked to Trump about his phones being tapped.

I don't pay to much attention to the R or D label these days... its becoming meaningless as time passes.

Hi. How has Trump survived after the help from Russia? Why with all of the evidence about Russian help to win the 2016 election? I still do not know how he did it even after all the evidence that Obama had on him. And all the the things that James Comey had on Trump.I think we may soon find out. As Comey looks like the first of the deep state (I thought there was no deep state) to be indicted with multiple coming? Is this really true? But what will really come of all this. Will it all turn out to be fake news? Or was it that what Trump did was all fake news.

Hi. Do not forget that no one is above the law, except some Democrats.

Actually, the only one literally above the law, thanks to the Supreme Court, is the President.
