Pretty much... just a matter of preference. They all suck.

They need to fix gas prices because of the impact on interest rates. This country cannot cope with sudden high interest rates w/o going into a tailspin.

If he needs to go to KSA and kiss ass he needs to do it

Lol wow. You need to go back to school or get a refund from wherever you went.
You're pointing the finger in the wrong direction and clearly don't have a clue about the reasons for this countries current inflation.
It's literally bidens fault single handedly. Printing money for handouts while making those who needed those funds believe that our retarded leaders are actually helping them in reality end up ...... everyone in the ass, no consideration for even wearin a condom.
All those stimulus checks have had major major impacts negatively on our current economy and continue to do so. Gas prices going up could be slowed down if bidens ....... decided to drill in house and be an exporter like we were when the "fat orange turd" you speak of was in charge. Shutting down pipelines tryin to convince the public to buy a super expensive electric car that they can't afford makes no sense. So much to blame on biden that it would take me all day to type out. What's most clear is you know nothing about what's going on in the real world and keep sippin that main stream media koolaid, at least not enough to speak on this topic.

Education??? I only get my “news” from Fox and Newsmax. Every bad thing that happens is Biden’s fault! Past, present, and future!!! Every good thing in life is a result of our Great Supreme Leader-El Jefe Naranja Caca! And don’t get me started on MSM (of which Fox isn’t MSM but also has the most bigly ratings and viewers)!!!! MSM has it all wrong and JFK Jr is still alive!!!!!!

Yep.... you've definitely proven my case

Biden is lame- yes we agree but for different reasons. There is literally no major policy differences between Biden or Trump, just moving deckchairs on the Titanic because both sides have the same modus operandi which is "focus at this LBGQT Gun BLM Immigrant issue while my donors totally rob you blind ha ha" Unfortunately US politics is stifled from making any real substantive change because filibuster and legal campaign bribery. In many western countries, US included, the kids are going to have a bleaker standard of living and future than their parents and grandparents due to deliberate policy decisions made by the elite. IMHO that's why Trump got in, people are sick of the swamp.

Stimulus checks are drop in the ocean- do you have any idea how much money has been created from the GFC period with quantitative easing and how much of that money has gone into bankers pockets, stock buybacks and the 1%er? The system is working exactly as it's designed to which is to benefit the owners of this rentier economy. Wall Street energy stocks are creaming it right now and main street is getting done over, yet main street is utterly devoted to trying to join them at the table as if that's the answer- never going to happen and guess what unless you have about 100 million spare, you are main street.

I’d like to point out that the various COVID-19 stimulus and relief packages were all signed into law when Trump was president - on March 6, 2020, then on March 18, 2020, then on March 27, 2020, and then on April 24, 2020.

Blaming it on one man or one party is just factually incorrect and only serves to push a politically-motivated narrative. The political party tribalism that has evolved is destructive.

Gas prices doubled here (EU). The tax was removed (in Italy bringing it close to what it was before because the tax is huge) as the change was going to devastate certain industries.
It doubled again. All since Russian tanks moved.
Here unlike the US, the petroleum actually comes from Russia. Italy is now starting to import from anywhere else which is a good thing. However prices are like this.
wtf is going on in the US? Speculation? Any excuse to crank prices? That's going on everywhere. That's the energy industry.

Don't be thick. It isn't the price per gallon, its the change in the price per gallon. Maybe 6 months ago it was maybe half that amount.

My paycheck has yet to increase with inflation.

That was my point, the energy companies have the globe by the nuts. They have for over a century yet you still get belly aching over it. All I did was offset the rise in cost by partnering with the guys benefiting from it. If you can’t beat them, join them. Same with the defense industry. Drown, or learn to enjoy water sports.

“The cost of housing is too high” not for the guy who can’t build homes fast enough. If you’re not going to take the time to position yourself to at least offset some of the things that financially plague you then I’m not sure what say.

... I'm no fan of fossil fuels but part of me is glad this is happening. Gluttony kills... Looking at you, Valero... better pay the shareholders the fat dividends while you can.

If I use just the gains in the energy sector portfolio as an offset for energy expenses, I’m fueling my vehicles, aviation requirements and all of the residential, commercial and business energy requirements for free and then some. Gasoline cost me nothing no matter what it cost and that’s just strategic planning.

Consumers are willing to pay the price that oil companies set. Granted these oil companies are probably also artificially restricting production to keep supply limited and therefore artificially inflating prices. Conversely supply constraints also mean that companies are missing out on money on the table so they’ll want to slowly increase supply. Kind of like a drug dealer.

As for inflation, that’s the result of a fat orange turd that mismanaged an epidemic and cratered the economy and disrupted the supply chain so badly that we’re teetering on the edge of a recession. Also it’s complicated…
