I remember not too long ago when other supply chains were disrupted, stay indoors they said… Democrats said boo about it.. meanwhile used car prices skyrocketed, you couldn’t build a small single door deck for less than $5k, and eggs skyrocketed. How ‘bout those egg prices btw!
where were ya then? Meanwhile, 80% of the worlds oil is still moving, the ME oil is on standby, but somehow y'all think it’ll take years to get that oil to it’s offloading position.
You would have some actual credibility if you hadn’t dismissed the 3 yrs of insane prices under Biden, would have called him out for depleting the Strategic Oil Reserves right before the election, or acknowledged the years of high gas prices under the Opressed Obama family. Hell I’m already saving $12k a year on a refi for one of my properties this year. Gas has cost me maybe $200 extra the last 2 months. The math says I’m ahead.

People are stretched. The increase in gas price and the subsequent inflation it’s going to cause for every other consumer good is going to put even more people over the edge. This is going to be a serious problem for the foreseeable future for many.

I think we kind of live in a pilot bubble. Things are good if you have equity, which the majority of Americans don’t. I think you’re being cavalier about the plight of people who live pay check to pay check. They were promised lower prices (prices will never get lower, they’ll just hopefully keep going up at a slower rate).

None of them have stopped doing what we all do on days off. Nobody has cancelled vacations etc. The only way inflation and the reset to new highs under Biden, occur is for deflation and a shrinking economy. Democrats are relying on the lowest denominator not knowing this.
Ya know what I forgot about? “Boots on the ground!”
where are my “boots on the ground” guys at?
When you say “inflation” you should always preempt that with “ it’s not 9% so…. “ Finally, what and whose policies led to the largest transfer of wealth in US history, destroyed the middle class and destroyed countless small businesses?

I literally hang out with zero pilots outside of work, maybe one guy who owns a company has pilot type money .. no one is saying ”these fuel prices are great, give me more”. What everyone to a man says though is everytime the media and Liberal left starts ramping up all these doomsday scenarios they are always proven wrong… along with every lie about some speech or other political narrative. Basically none of them trust anything they see or hear from mainstream outlets. And everyone believes when Iran is over things will go back to normal unlike the 2021-2024 era.

if I were you I’d get out now… stuff cash under your bed. This is just like 2008 where banks gave unlimited funds to financially low IQ individuals to buy homes they could never afford. Illegal immigrants and professional tire changers definitely deserved $750k pool homes.

The crypto biz and military contracts have been wonderful.
Everything is getting gold plated and we are printing $1 trillion dollars every 5 months - Mo money, mo money!

Now Trump is giving us cheap energy? Which of his policies have gained the American voters any value? I'm gonna need you to show your work.
